Sound Pressure Level
Operator Position
Lp A,m (dB)
Idle2.0 (K V = 0.3)12
Wireless web2.0 (K V = 0.3)12
Hard drive seek2.1 (K V = 0.3)13
  1. L W A,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.1 B.
  2. Lp A,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at the operator position (rounded to the nearest 1 dB).
  3. 1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel)
  4. K v is the statistical adder for computing the upper limit of the A-weighted sound power level.
  5. The quantity, L W A,c (formerly called L W Ad), may be computed from the sum of L W A,m and K v.
  6. The Wireless web test browses 25 popular websites.
