A pilot study was carried out to assess method evaluating effects of low frequency noise on performance. Of special interest was to study objective and subjective effects over time. Two ventilation noises were used, one of a predominantly mid frequency character and the other of a predominantly low

β¦ Synopsis
Methods for assessing noise from high energy wideband impulsive sources currently use either linear peak descriptors or ones based on frequency weighted r.m.s. values. Signtjicant errors can be introduced if such assessments are made using data obtained from intruments with limited bandwidth or with ill-definedfilter or cut-oflchacteristics.
Of particular importance are the errors introduced when extrapolating empirical equations for the prediction of impulse noise levels to dtflerent size sources and diflerent distances. This note considers the effect of using band limited data when making predictions over hard and soft surfaces and concludes that such predictions will be more reliable tf full frequency waveforms are used from source to final location.
