lowercase The symbol dBrn or dB rn is an abbreviation for decibels above reference noise . Weighted noise power in dB is referred to 1.0 picowatt . Thus, 0 dBrn 90 dBm . Use of 144 Line electrical engineering line , 144 receiver, or C message weighting , or flat weighting , can be indicated in Bracket Parentheses 28 29 parentheses . With C message weighting, a one milliwatt , 1000 hertz Hz tone will read 90 dBrn, but the same power as white noise , randomly distributed over a 3 kHz band radio band will read approximately 88.5 dBrn, because of the frequency weighting. With 144 weightings, a one milliwatt, 1000 Hz white noise tone will also read 90 dBrn, but the same 3 kHz power will only read 82 dBrn, because of the different frequency weighting .

In telecommunication , reference noise is the magnitude of Telecommunication circuit circuit noise chosen as a reference for measurement. Many different levels with a number of different weightings are in current use, and care must be taken to ensure that the proper parameters are stated. Specific ones include A weighting dBa , dBa F1A , dBa HA1 , dBa0, dBm , dBm psoph , dBm0 , dBrn , dBrnC , dBrnC0, dBrn f sub 1 sub f sub 2 sub , dBrn 144 line , dBx.

Flat weighting In a noise measuring set, a noise weighting based on an amplitude frequency characteristic that is flat over a frequency range that must be stated. Note 1 Flat noise power is expressed in dBrn f sub 1 sub f sub 2 sub or in dBm f sub 1 sub f sub 2 sub . Note 2 3 kHz flat weighting and 15 kHz flat weighting are based on amplitude frequency characteristics that are flat between 30 Hz and the frequency indicated.

File Acoustic weighting curves 1 .svg right thumb 400px A weighting filter is used to emphasise or suppress some aspects of a phenomenon compared to others, for measurement or other purposes. Audio applications In each field of audio measurement, special units are used to indicate a weighted measurement as opposed to a basic physical measurement of energy level. For sound, the unit is the phon 1 kHz equivalent level . Loudness measurements In the measurement of loudness, for example, an A weighting filter is commonly used to emphasize frequencies around 3 6 kHz where the human ear is most sensitive, while attenuating very high and very low frequencies to which the ear is insensitive. The aim is to ensure that measured loudness corresponds well with subjectively perceived loudness. A weighting is only really valid for relatively quiet sounds and for pure tones as it is based on the 40 phon Fletcher Munson equal loudness contour . The B and C curves were intended for louder sounds though they are less used while the D curve is used in assessing loud aircraft noise IEC 537 . Telecommunications In the field of telecommunications, weighting filters are widely used in the measurement of electrical noise on telephone circuits, and in the assessment of noise as perceived through the acoustic response of different types of instrument handset . Other noise weighting curves have existed, e.g. DIN standards. The term psophometric weighting , though referring in principle to any weighting curve intended for noise measurement, is often used to refer to a particular weighting curve, used in telephony for narrow bandwidth voiceband speech circuits. Environmental noise measurement A weighting A weighted decibel s are abbreviated dB A or dBA. When acoustic calibrated microphone measurements are being referred to, then the units used will be decibel dB Sound pressure SPL sound pressure level referenced to 20 micropascals 0 dB SPL. dBrn adjusted is a synonym for dBA.
