ITU-R BS.1770

ITU-R BS.1770 is a standard developed by the International Telecommunication Union to measure audio loudness in broadcasting. It provides a method to ensure consistent sound levels across different programs and media. This helps prevent sudden loud sounds or quiet passages, enhancing the listening experience. The standard uses specific algorithms to analyze audio tracks, taking into account human perception of sound, ensuring that broadcasters deliver content that is balanced and comfortable for audiences, regardless of the source or type of media being consumed.
