Richard L. McKinley · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 2022
ANSI S12.7 Methods For Measurements Of Impulse Noise 1986 (R2006) applies to all kinds of impulsive noise, whether discrete event sources, such as quarry and mining explosions or sonic booms, or from multiple event sources such as pile drivers, riveting, nail guns, or rifle or gun firing. The working has been working on proposed changes to the measurement methods, especially high speed digital waveform recording techniques to improve the accuracy of capturing the peak of the waveform as well as the details of the structure. The presentation will describe the proposed changes to the measurement methods and measurement microphones as well as the applications of the revised standard once it is approved.
