Weighting

 

Considerations

 

The

 

A

 

weighting

 

curve

 

is

 

based

 

on

 

40

 

Phon

 

fletcher

Munson

 

Equal

 

Loudness

 

Contour

.

 

For

 

noise

 

assessments

 

of

 

the

 

effects

 

of

 

noise

 

on

 

human

 

hearing,

 

the

 

A

 

weighting

 

mode

 

is

 

recommended.

 

 

The

 

C

 

weighting

 

mode

 

is

 

recommended

 

for

 

machine

 

sound

 

monitoring

 

(steady,

 

drone

 

type).

  

 

The

 

Z

 

weighting

 

offers

 

a

 

linear

 

signal

 

response

 

that

 

is

 

not

 

processed

 

through

 

the

 

meter’s

 

filter.

 

Z

 

weighting

 

is

 

suitable

 

for

 

monitoring

 

electrical

 

signals

 

(AC

 

or

 

DC

 

signals

 

for

 

research

 

purposes,

 

for

 

example).
