Maximum Permissible Ambient Noise Levels for Audiometric Test Rooms
Specifies maximum permissible ambient noise levels (MPANLs) allowed in an audiometric test room that produce negligible masking (<2 dB) of test signals presented at reference equivalent threshold levels specified in ANSI S3.6-1996. The MPANLs are specified from 125 to 8000 Hz in octave and one-third octave band intervals for two audiometric testing conditions (ears covered and ears not covered) and for three test frequency ranges (125 to 8000 Hz, 250 to 8000 Hz, and 500 to 8000 Hz).
