Acoustics - Determination of sound power levels of noise sources using sound pressure - Comparison method in situ (ISO 3747:2000)

This International Standard specifies a method for determining the sound power levels of sound sources in situ, especially if non-movable. A comparison method is used and all measurements are carried out in octave bands. The measurement uncertainty depends on the test environment. The measurement uncertainty is evaluated by comparing with an indicator describing the spatial sound distribution. The accuracy will either be that of an engineering method or a survey method. The sound power level of the source under test is calculated from the measured values of the sound pressure levels produced at specified measurement points by the source and by a reference sound source, respectively. The sound power level is calculated using the calibrated values of the reference sound source and the differences between the values obtained with the source under test and those of the reference sound source. All calculations are carried out in octave bands, from which the A-weighted sound power level is determined.

Akustik - Bestimmung der Schalleistungspegel von Geräuschquellen aus Schalldruckmessungen -Vergleichsverfahren zur Verwendung unter Einsatzbedingungen (ISO 3747:2000)

1.1 Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Schallleistungspegel von insbesondere
ortsfesten Schallquellen unter Einsatzbedingungen fest. Es wird ein Vergleichsverfahren verwendet,
und alle Messungen werden in Oktavbändern durchgeführt. Die Messunsicherheit hängt von der
Prüfumgebung ab. Die Messunsicherheit wird durch Vergleich mit einem Indikator beurteilt, der die räumliche
Schallverteilung beschreibt. Die Genauigkeit des Verfahrens entspricht entweder Genauigkeitsklasse
2 oder Genauigkeitsklasse 3.
Der Schallleistungspegel der zu untersuchenden Quelle wird aus den gemessenen Werten der Schalldruckpegel
berechnet, die von der Quelle bzw. einer Vergleichsschallquelle an festgelegten Messpunkten
erzeugt werden. Zur Berechnung des Schallleistungspegels werden die kalibrierten Werte der Vergleichsschallquelle
verwendet sowie die Differenzen zwischen den Werten, die mit der zu untersuchenden
Quelle und der Vergleichsschallquelle ermittelt wurden. Alle Berechnungen werden in Oktavbändern
durchgeführt, aus welchen der A-bewertete Schallleistungspegel bestimmt wird.
ANMERKUNG Für transportable Schallquellen können entsprechende andere Normen aus der Reihe ISO 3740
und folgende angewendet werden.
1.2 Diese Internationale Norm ist in allen Prüfumgebungen außerhalb von Laboren anwendbar, sofern
der Fremdgeräuschpegel ausreichend niedrig ist und der Schalldruckpegel an den Mikrofonpositionen
hauptsächlich von Reflexionen an den Raumwänden abhängt.
ANMERKUNG In ISO 3744 oder ISO 9614 werden alternative Verfahren angeboten.
1.3 Diese Internationale Norm ist in erster Linie für Quellen anwendbar, die breitbandigen Schall
abstrahlen. Sie kann jedoch auch für Quellen verwendet werden, die Schmalbandgeräusch oder Einzelt
öne abstrahlen, obwohl die Messunsicherheit dann größer als hier angegeben ausfallen könnte.
ANMERKUNG Für Geräuschquellen, die ein stationäres Geräusch abstrahlen, darf alternativ ISO 9614 angewendet
werden.

Acoustique - Détermination des niveaux de puissance acoustique émis par les sources de bruit à partir de la pression acoustique - Méthode de comparaison pour une utilisation in situ (ISO 3747:2000)

La présente Norme internationale s'applique à tous les types d'environnements d'essai autres que celui rencontré en laboratoire, à condition que le niveau de bruit de fond soit suffisamment faible et que le niveau de pression acoustique aux différentes positions de microphone dépende principalement des réflexions par les surfaces de la salle.  
NOTE   L'ISO 3744 ou l'ISO 9614 peut fournir des méthodes alternatives.  La présente Norme internationale s'applique principalement aux sources qui émettent un bruit à large bande.  Cependant, elle peut également s'appliquer aux sources qui émettent un bruit à bande étroite ou des sons purs, bien que l'incertitude de mesure puisse alors devenir plus importante que celle indiquée ici.  
NOTE L'ISO 9614 peut être utilisée comme norme alternative pour les sources de bruit qui émettent un bruit stable.

Introduction
This International Standard is one of the ISO 3740 series which, together with ISO 9614, specifies various methods
for determining sound power levels of machines, equipment and sub-assemblies thereof. When selecting one of
the methods of the 3740 series, it is necessary to decide which one is most appropriate for the conditions and
purposes of the test. General guidelines to assist in the selection are provided in ISO 3740. Insofar as the operating
and mounting conditions of the machine or equipment under test are concerned, only general principles are given
in the ISO 3740 series. Reference should be made to the test code for a specific type of machine or equipment, if
available, for specifications on mounting and operating conditions.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 3747:2000(E)
Acoustics — Determination of sound power levels of noise
sources using sound pressure — Comparison method in situ
1 Scope
1.1 This International Standard specifies a method for determining the sound power levels of sound sources in
situ, especially if non-movable. A comparison method is used and all measurements are carried out in octave
bands. The measurement uncertainty depends on the test environment. The measurement uncertainty is evaluated
by comparing with an indicator describing the spatial sound distribution. The accuracy will either be that of an
engineering method or a survey method.
The sound power level of the source under test is calculated from the measured values of the sound pressure
levels produced at specified measurement points by the source and by a reference sound source, respectively. The
sound power level is calculated using the calibrated values of the reference sound source and the differences
between the values obtained with the source under test and those of the reference sound source. All calculations
are carried out in octave bands, from which the A-weighted sound power level is determined.
NOTE For noise sources which can be moved, other relevant standards in the ISO 3740 series may be used.
1.2 This International Standard is applicable to all kinds of test environments which are to be found outside a
laboratory environment, provided that the background noise level is sufficiently low and the sound pressure level at
the microphone positions depends mainly on reflections from the room surfaces.
NOTE ISO 3744 or ISO 9614 may provide alternative methods.
1.3 This International Standard is primarily applicable to sources which radiate broad-band noise. It may,
however, also be used for sources which radiate narrow-band noise or discrete tones, although the measurement
uncertainty might then become larger than stated herein.
NOTE For noise sources emitting stationary noise, ISO 9614 may be used as an alternative.
2 Normative references

3.6
background noise
noise from all sources other than the source under test
NOTE Background noise may include contributions from airborne sound, structure-borne vibration, and electrical noise in
instrumentation.
3.7
frequency range of interest
for general purposes, the frequency range of interest includes the octave bands with midband frequencies from
125 Hz to 8 000 Hz
NOTE 1 For special purposes, it is permissible to extend or reduce the frequency range of interest at either end, provided
that the test environment, reference sound source and instrument accuracy are satisfactory for use over the extended or
reduced frequency range. For sources which radiate predominantly high (or low) frequency sound, it is permissible to extend or
reduce the frequency range of interest in order to optimize the test procedures.
NOTE 2 For determination of A-weighted sound power levels (or other frequency-weighted levels), frequency components
within the range which do not contribute to the A-weighted sound power level may be disregarded.

3.8
comparison method
method in which the sound power level is calculated by comparing the measured sound pressure levels produced
by the source under test in an environment with the sound pressure levels produced in the same environment by a
reference sound source of known sound power output
3.9
excess of sound pressure level at a given distance
�L
f
difference, in decibels, for a reference sound source with a reference calibration, at a given distance, between the
spatial sound distribution curve of the room and the spatial sound distribution curve for a free field (6 dB per
distance doubling) according to annex A
NOTE This term and its definition differ from that of ISO 14257 which relates to an average difference over a given
distance range.
4 Test methodology
4.1 General
The test method is a comparison method, that is the sound power output of the source under test is compared with
that of a reference sound source with known sound power level. In order to obtain a good comparison, at least the
following condition must be fulfilled:
� the test environment is sufficiently reverberant to cause the directivity of the source under test to have only an
insignificant influence on the measured sound pressure levels.
The better the above condition is fulfilled, the lower the measurement uncertainty will be. To make an objective
evaluation of the measurement conditions, it is necessary to determine one indicator, �L , for the test environment.
f
Further information about this indicator is given in annex A.
4.2 Accuracy
�L will be influenced by the selection of the reference sound source and the microphone positions. Thus it may, in
f
some cases, be possible to improve the measurement accuracy from that of a survey method to that of an
engineering method by changing these positions; see annex A.
5 Measurement uncertainty
A single value of the sound power level of a sound source determined according to the procedures of this
International Standard is likely to differ from the true value by an amount within the measurement uncertainty. The
uncertainty in determinations of the sound power level arises from several factors which affect the results, some
associated with environmental conditions in the test environment and others with experimental techniques and the
directional characteristics of the sound source under test.
If a particular source were to be transported to each of a number of different test environments and if, in each
environment, the sound power level of that source were to be determined in accordance with the provisions of this
International Standard, the results would show a scatter. The standard deviations of the measured octave band
values could be calculated (examples are given in ISO 7574-4:1985, annex B) and would vary. These standard
deviations would, with few exceptions, not exceed those listed in Table 1 for the A-weighted sound power level.
The standard deviation will depend on the indicator �L . If this indicator is not evaluated, the default standard
f
deviation of reproducibility, s ,is4,0dB.

NOTE 1 The standard deviations given in Table 1 might become larger for sources that radiate narrow-band noise, discrete
tones and combinations of these. In these cases the engineering grade of accuracy might not be achieved.
The values given in Table 1 are standard deviations of reproducibility, s , as defined in ISO 7574-1. The values of
R
Table 1 take into account the cumulative effects of measurement uncertainty in applying the procedures of this
International Standard, but exclude variations in the sound power output caused by changes in operating
conditions (e.g. rotational speed, line voltage) or mounting conditions.
The measurement uncertainty depends on the standard deviation of reproducibility tabulated in Table 1, the
systematic errors discussed below, and the degree of confidence that is desired. As examples, excluding the
systematic errors, there is a 90 % confidence that the expected value of the sound power level of a source lies
within the range� 1,645s , of the measured value and a 95 % confidence that it lies within the range� 1,96s For
R R.
further examples, see ISO 7574-4.
NOTE 2 Where s exceeds 2 dB, the ranges of confidence intervals may not apply.
R
Normally the A-weighted sound power level is mainly influenced by the levels in the 250 Hz to 4 000 Hz octave
bands. The A-weighted sound power level is determined with a standard deviation which varies with the indicator
values as shown in Table 1. If frequencies lower than 500 Hz are very important for the A-weighted level, the
standard deviation will become higher. If frequencies higher than 2 000 Hz are important the source may be highly
directional. If, in such cases, there are strongly absorbing surfaces close to the machine under test (e.g. an
absorbing ceiling), the measurement uncertainty may become greater.
NOTE 3 One reason, specific for this International Standard, for increased measurement uncertainty at low frequencies is
that the reference sound source is not always used in calibrated positions. Thus calibration errors are introduced. These errors
occur at low frequencies where the RSS is located at distances in relation to nearby reflecting surfaces which are different from
the ones used during the calibration.
6 Instrumentation
6.1 Instrumentation system
The instrumentation system, including the microphone and cable, shall meet the requirements for a class 1
instrument specified in IEC 61672-1. The calibrator shall meet the requirements for class 1 specified in IEC 60942.
For measurements in octave bands, the instrumentation system shall meet the requirements of IEC 61260.
6.2 Calibration
6.2.1 Measuring system
During each series of measurements, apply the sound calibrator to the microphone for checking the calibration of
the entire measuring system at one or more frequencies over the frequency range of interest.
