Noise
Q.1 Determine the total sound pressure level due to three sound sources having sound
pressure levels of Lp1 = 90 dB, Lp2 = 95 dB and Lp3 = 94 dB respectively.
Q.2 Determine the overall sound power level due to contributions from three octave
bands, designated as Lw1 = 100 dB, Lw2 = 103 dB and Lw3 = 106 dB.
Q.3 A diesel powered heavy truck has noise source with SPL as under: Straight exhaust:
98dB, Fan: 88 dB; Engine: 83 dB; Air intake: 75 dB; other sources: 75 dB. Calculate
the overall SPL.
Q.4 Determine the sound pressure level at a point due to a machine alone if at that point
the SPL Lp is 85 dB, when machine is off and 94 dB when the machine is operating.
Q.5 The SPL due to a machine in a room is measured at five different locations
in the room and found to be 83 dB, 86 dB, 82 dB, 85 dB and 83 dB. The sound
pressure level due to second machine is also measured at these locations and found
to be respectively 83 dB, 86 dB, 88 dB, 81 dB and 84 dB. What is the average SPL
of (a) the first machine and the second machine.
Q.6 Six machines operating individually make sound levels of 78, 81, 81, 79, 72 and 75
dB respectively. Find overall sound pressure level when all of them operate
simultaneously.
Q.15 Describe various standards used for acceptable level of noise at various places.
