Frequently Asked Questions

• What is LAeq?

  The results of calculations or measurements Such measurements are designated say 46.3 dBA Leq or 46.3 LAeq. LAeq is the main unit used for assessingOccupational Noise. If we again look at our noise trace, two successive10 second LAeq's and the cumulative LAeq can be plotted in yellow, green and blue respectively.

• What is energy averaging ?

  Noise - Terms - Energy Averaging [LAeq] When dealing with a new or proposed noise LAeq is often used [also written dBA Leq]; this term is the Equivalent Continuous Level . The formal definition is " when a noise varies over time, the Leq is the equivalent continuous sound which would contain the same sound energy as the time varying sound".

• What is LAeq PBM?

  Laeq is a contraction of Laser Equipment. It is pronounced ‘lake’, but it wouldn’t surprise us if in your excitement for PBM you quickly turn it into ‘like’. PBM is a form of laser therapy that is used internationally and has been described as very effective in leading medical journals.

• What is the difference between dwdw and laeqt?

  Dw is the weighted sound level difference between the two spaces LAeqT is the measured indoor ambient noise level in the acoustically sensitive room (for the purposes of awarding design stage credits, the design ambient noise level can be used).

• What is a who guideline?

  WHO guidelines. The development of global guidelines ensuring the appropriate use of evidence represents one of the core functions of WHO. A WHO guideline is defined broadly as any information product developed by WHO that contains recommendations for clinical practice or public health policy.
