Attenuation values
f (Hz) 63 125 250 500 1000 2000 4000 8000
Mf (dB) 33.1 34.6 34.2 35.8 38.2 38.0 42.9 45.2
sf (dB) 4.7 5.6 6.7 5.7 5.7 5.3 4.5 6.0
APVf (dB) 28.4 29.0 27.5 30.1 32.5 32.7 38.4 39.2
SNR = 35dB, H = 35dB, M = 32dB, L = 30dB, APVf (dB) = Mf – sf (dB)
Key:
f = Test frequency
Mf = Mean attenuation value
sf = Standard deviation
APVf = Assumed Protection Value
H = High-frequency attenuation value (predicted noise level reduction
for noise with LC – LA = -2dB)
M = Medium-frequency attenuation value (predicted noise level
reduction for noise with LC – LA = +2dB)
L = Low-frequency attenuation value (predicted noise level reduction
for noise with LC – LA = +10dB)
SNR = Single Number Rating (the value that is subtracted from the
measured C-weighted sound pressure level, LC in order to estimate
the effective A-weighted sound pressure level inside the ear).
