Description of ASTM-E1503 2014ASTM E1503-14Historical Standard: Standard Test Method for Conducting Outdoor Sound Measurements Using a Digital Statistical Sound Analysis SystemASTM E1503Scope 1.1 This test method covers the measurement of outdoor sound levels at specific locations using a digital statistical sound analysis system and a formal measurement plan. 1.1.1 This test method provides basic requirements for obtaining either a single set of data or multiple sets of related data. However, because there are numerous circumstances and varied objectives requiring multiple sets of data, the test method does not address planning of the measurement program. 1.2 The use of results of measurements performed using this test method include, but are not limited to, the following: 1.2.1 To characterize the acoustical environment of a site, 1.2.2 To characterize the sound emissions of a specific sound source which exhibits a temporal variation in sound output, and 1.2.3 To monitor the effectiveness of a noise impact mitigation plan. 1.3 This test method is intended to be used in conjunction with a measurement plan that references this test method. Changes or additions to the provisions of this test method shall be clearly stated in the plan. 1.3.1 In the event it is necessary, for example, because of time constraints, to conduct measurements without first formalizing a plan, this test method can be used if an operator/observer whose qualifications are satisfactory to both the performing organization and the client is present at all times during the measurements and who complies, to the extent possible, with all the applicable requirements of this test method, including record keeping. 1.4 The data obtained using this test method enable comparison of sound level data with appropriate criteria. 1.4.1 The data obtained with this test method can be used in the derivation of loudness levels provided the necessary requirements regarding sample duration and signal bandwidth are observed in collecting the data. It is recommended that a specialist in the area of loudness evaluation be consulted in preparing a plan for measurements intended to produce data which will be used for this purpose. 1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
