    This practical aims to measure constant and time-varying noise sources using a sound level meter. For the constant source, measurements of LAeq were taken over 15, 30, 60, and 90 second periods. For the time-varying source, LAeq was measured for each same time period, resetting the source each time. Results are reported with equipment details, measurement setup sketches, and comments on implications for workplace noise assessments.

    PRACTICAL 2

    MEASUREMENT OF CONSTANT
    AND TIME VARYING NOISE SOURCES
    1. AIM
    The aim of this practical is to gain experience with use of the Sound Level Meter for
    time varying noise.
    2. Equipment Preparation
    2.1 Sound level meter and calibrator and sound power source
    2.2 Check the battery and the calibration and record the relevant details
    3. Measurements using a constant sound source
    3.1 Place the sound source centrally in a suitable location and set the sound power
    source output to wideband spectrum.
    3.2 Set the output level of the constant sound source so that it is 10-15 dB(A)
    above the background noise level in the area at a distance of about 1 m. Do
    not adjust this level for the next parts of this exercise..
    3.3 Determine the sound level (LAeq ) at the same position over a 15 sec, 30 sec, 60
    sec and 90 sec time periods.
    4. Measurements using a time varying sound source
    4.1 Place the sound source in a suitable location
    4.2 Adjust the output of the time varying source so is 10-15 dB(A) above the
    background noise level in the area. Do not adjust this level.
    4.3 Determine the sound level (LAeq ) at the same position first for 15 sec, 30 sec,
    60 sec and 90 sec time periods resetting the signal back to the beginning each
    time.
    5.
