    The L90 is the sound level that exceeds 90% of the time period; this is commonly referred to as background noise. [12] Researchers with the US National Park Service found that human activity doubles the background-noise levels in 63 percent of protected spaces like national parks, and increases them tenfold in 21 percent.

  5. Noise reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_reduction

    Noise reduction is the process of removing noise from a signal. Noise reduction techniques exist for audio and images. Noise reduction algorithms may distort the signal to some degree. Noise rejection is the ability of a circuit to isolate an undesired signal component from the desired signal component, as with common-mode rejection ratio.
