USAF Bioenvironmental Noise Data Handbook. Volume 140. F-16 Aircraft In the AF32A-25 Noise Suppressor, Near and Far-Field Noise.

Abstract

The AF-32A-25 noise suppressor is made by the Jetway Equipment Corporation for acoustical suppression of the F-16 aircraft. This report provides measured and extrapolated data defining the bioacoustic environments produced by this aircraft operating in this suppressor for four engine power configurations. Near-field data are reported for three locations in a wide variety of physical and psychoacoustic measures: overall and band sound pressure levels, C-weighted and A-weighted sound levels, preferred speech interference level, perceived noise level and limiting times for total daily exposure of personnel with and without standard Air Force ear protectors. Far-field data measured at 19 locations are normalized to standard meteorological conditions and extrapolated from 75-8000 meters to derive sets of equal-value contours for these same seven acoustic measures as functions of angle and distance from the source.
