noise level [′nȯiz ‚lev·əl]

(physics)

The intensity of unwanted sound, or the magnitude of unwanted currents or voltages, averaged over a specified frequency range and time interval, and weighted with frequency in a specified manner; usually expressed in decibels relative to a specified reference.

sound level

The reading of a sound-level meter, using one of the three weighting networks; expressed in decibels (abbr. dB); the weighting network used must be specified; the most widely used network for noise measurements is the A-network.
