Synopsis:

This book is a collection of essays and studies that analyze the effects of various atmospheric conditions on microphones and sound level meters. Instruments commonly used in noise monitoring systems were tested. The author details the testing methods, provides the results, and offers conclusions based on the findings. Included is a discussion of the long-term stability of microphones, as well as environmental effects on microphone sensitivity. Static pressure effects on the output sound level of microphone calibrators are covered, along with temperature effects on the electrical sensitivity of Type II sound level meters. Attenuation of aerodynamically generated noise by foam windscreens is also examined. The book's premise is that the precision of repeated sound level measurements is of great importance, particularly in enforcing noise regulations.
