Sound Exposure Level
The sound exposure level L
AE
is the L
Aeq
normalized to 1 sec-
ond. The sound exposure level is measured to compare noise
events with different time durations. The L
AE
reports the amount
of noise from an event such as an individual aircraft fly-over.

Time-Average Sound Level or

Averaged sound level over time with A frequency weighting.

Aeq
dt Level LAeq_dt “delta t” in report
Level of the preset logging interval in the LOG-menu; e.g. Log-
ging interval = 1 second, then LAeq_dt is the time averaged level
of the past 1 second.
