Definition of leq in English English dictionary
- Equivalent sound level The dBA level of a steady state sound which has the same dBA weighted sound energy as that contained in the actual time-varying sound being measured over a specific time period
- level equivalent – the time-averaged sound level or the continuous equivalent sound level (usually over 24 hours)
- An indicator of noise which averages many measurements of a particular sound taken at different times over an extended period of time This is called the Equivalent Sound Pressure Level (Leq)
- Equivalent Sound Level
- Equivalent sound level, represents the total sound exposure for the period of interest or an energy average noise level for the period of interest
- The eight hour time weighted average sound level, expressed in dB This value takes into account all sound measurement between the threshold level and the Leq upper limit and is one of the parameters on the dosage report generated by the model 897 Dosimeter
