Sound features of fans Noise characteristics of the equipment are shown in the tables indicating, + Sound-power level LWA in GBA i frequency bands to inlet, outlet and environment of the fan + The total sound power level GBA at 3m distance The frequency band has eight wave groups. Each group has a definite mediumd frequency: 63 Hz, 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz and 8 kHz. Any nojse is distributed to definite frequency bands and the sound energy is dissipated to various frequency The sound produced by the operating fan is spread along the air duct, partially attenuates inside the unit and penetrates through the grilles inside the premise. Ventilation system design is based on acoustic calculation which is an integral part of any premise ventilation design. The calculation is aimed to define the octavetrequency band in the operating points and the required sound attenuation level by means of comparing this spectrum with the permissible values according to hygienic regulations. After selection of construction and acoustic means for sound attenuation the expected soune-pressure levels are tested to check the efficiency in the selected operating points. aBa [characteristics] ‘Sound source b no noise: 5 almost not audible ho low leaves rustling hs medium leaves rusting bo hardly cunitie human whisper (1 m distance) Bs human whisper (1 m distance) ls quet whisper, wall clock teking Siandard sound level for residential premises from 23.00 til07.00 Bs low speech Conventional speech ye ose axle Standard sound level for residential premises from 07.00 till23.00, las conventional conversation ko cetinitely conversation, typing Es audible Standard for A office premises (EN) ko office standard és noisy Toud conversation (1 m) [ro several oud conversations (1 mp rs shout, laugnter leo Shouting, operating motorcycle with a silencer 5 Toud shouting, operating motorcycle with a siencer very noisy - leo Loud shouts, freight car (7 m) les: Toving subway train (7 m)ee ee oe eee eee Hoo Maximum permissible sound pressure for headphones of a personal stereo (according to European noms! lextremety noisy ie » inside an airplane (before 1980s) fA. helicopter a5: sandblaster (1 m) 20 pneumatic hammer (1 m) f130 airplane at star
