Authors: Cohen, Elizabeth A.; Fielder, Louis D.

Abstract

A new noise level criterion and measurement technique, tempered by the effect of home listening room noise, is used to predict the audibility of the noise levels in a number of recording facilities. Our study shows that NC, PNC or RC methods are not accurate enough in assessing noise audibility, given the high cost of creating very quiet environments.
