Environmental Effects on Microphones and Type II Sound Level Meters

Rate this book
Environmental effects on measurement tools are shown with clear, practical data.

This reference examines how microphones and Type II sound level meters respond under real-world conditions, helping you understand how readings can vary with environment and setup.

In this edition, the focus is on four different sound level meters and how factors such as frequency, temperature, angle of incidence, ground cover, and nearby reflecting surfaces affect measurements. It also covers how ambient pressure influences acoustic calibrators, and how the detector, range, and A-weighted response behave in different sound fields. Additional data explore microphone sensitivity under changing temperature and humidity, along with practical procedures to ensure measurement precision and reliability. Detailed results across multiple configurations and setups Influence of ground cover, walls, and surfaces on readings Calibration considerations, including ambient pressure and crest factor Methods to monitor and assure measurement accuracy over time Ideal for engineers, researchers, and technicians who design, test, or interpret acoustic measurements, or anyone needing a solid reference on ensuring measurement quality.
