DBA Calculation

This document compares sound pressure level measurements using dB(A), dB(B), and dB(C) filters across octave band center frequencies from 31 Hz to 8000 Hz. It shows the measured sound levels, and the resulting levels after applying each filter. The dB(A) filter places more emphasis on frequencies in the range of human hearing, while dB(B) and dB(C) filters place more emphasis on lower and higher frequencies, respectively.
