L

(the Daily Personal Noise Exposure Level) is the con-
stant sound level which, if maintained over 8hours, would
have the same energy as the measured A-weighted L
eq
ex-
tended over the Exposure Time, T
e
(see Fig. 8.2).
In Fig. 8.2:
L
Aeq
= the average level during the Exposure Time
T
= the actual measurement time
T
e
= The Exposure Time
The Exposure Time can be set using the sound level meter’s
Settings (see section 3.7). Therefore, you can investigate the
effect of different Exposure Times on the L
EP,d
.
