Techniques and Procedures for the Measurement of Impulse Noise

Abstract

Criteria for the measurement of continuous sound have been agreed upon on an international level in the "International Organization for Standardization". These criteria have been promulgated as ISO standards or recommendations, The different nations, however, disagree on the criteria for the measurement and evaluation of impulse noise. Impulse noise measurement alone cannot be seen as an end in itself, but rather as a tool in the determination of the risk to personnel and materiel resulting from the impulse noise which may be produced by a weapon or an explosion.
