ANSI S1.6 (Specification for Continuous Noise Measurement)

ANSI S1.6 is a standard developed by the American National Standards Institute that outlines methods for measuring continuous noise in various environments. It provides guidelines for the equipment needed, how to conduct measurements, and how to analyze and report noise data. This standard is important for assessing noise pollution, which can impact health and well-being. By using ANSI S1.6, professionals ensure that noise measurements are accurate and consistent, helping communities understand and manage their acoustic environment effectively.
