 | noise pollution level NPL |
| SPL | = | sound pressure level, decibels (db) |
| P | = | sound wave pressure, newtons/meter2 |
| Pref | = | reference pressure or hearing threshold, newton/meter2 |
| IL | = | intensity level, decibel (db) |
| I | = | sound intensity, watt |
| I0 | = | reference intensity or least audible sound level, watts |
| PAV | = | average power, watt |
| NPL | = | noise pollution level, decibel (db) |
Notes:
- Usually, I0 is set to 10-12 watts
- Usually, Pref is set to 0.00002 newtons/meter2
