  2. Sound limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_limiter

    Sound limiters are commonly installed at live music venues, including private venues and particularly those that host wedding receptions with live wedding bands. [ citation needed ] The visual indicator on the limiter works most commonly on a “ traffic light ” system: green = no problem, amber = sound levels approaching the threshold, red ...

  3. Limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiter

    Limiting can refer to a range of treatments designed to limit the maximum level of a signal. Treatments in order of decreasing severity range from clipping, in which a signal is passed through normally but sheared off when it would normally exceed a certain threshold; soft clipping which squashes peaks instead of shearing them; a hard limiter, a type of variable-gain audio level compression ...

  4. Noise reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_reduction

    Dynamic noise limiter (DNL) is an audio noise reduction system originally introduced by Philips in 1971 for use on cassette decks. [10] Its circuitry is also based on a single chip. [22] [23] It was further developed into dynamic noise reduction (DNR) by National Semiconductor to reduce noise levels on long-distance telephony. [24]

  5. Sound exposure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_exposure

    The commonly used reference sound exposure in air is [2] E 0 = 400 μ P a 2 ⋅ s . {\displaystyle E_{0}=400~\mathrm {\mu Pa^{2}\cdot s} .} The proper notations for sound exposure level using this reference are L W /(400 μPa 2 ⋅s) or L W (re 400 μPa 2 ⋅s) , but the notations dB SEL , dB(SEL) , dBSEL, or dB SEL are very common, even if ...

  6. Absolute threshold of hearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_threshold_of_hearing

    In the descending runs, the subject may continue to reduce the level of the sound as if the sound was still audible, even though the stimulus is already well below the actual hearing threshold. In contrast, in the ascending runs, the subject may have persistence of the absence of the stimulus until the hearing threshold is passed by certain amount.

  7. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid. In human physiology and psychology , sound is the reception of such waves and their perception by the brain . [ 1 ]

  8. Infrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound

    Nobody had conceived that sound might exist at such low frequencies, and so no equipment had been developed to detect it. Eventually, it was determined that the sound inducing the nausea was a 7 cycle per second infrasound wave that was inducing a resonant mode in the ductwork and architecture of the building, significantly amplifying the sound ...

  9. Sound power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_power

    Sound power or acoustic power is the rate at which sound energy is emitted, reflected, transmitted or received, per unit time. [1] It is defined [2] as "through a surface, the product of the sound pressure, and the component of the particle velocity, at a point on the surface in the direction normal to the surface, integrated over that surface."
