Table C.12-2 Conversion of SPL to A-wtd Levels, dB<br />

Octave B<strong>and</strong> Center<br />

Frequency, Hz Lp, dB A-Wtg. LA dB<br />

31.5 74 -39.4 34.6<br />

63 66 -26.2 39.8<br />

125 71 -16.1 54.9<br />

250 61 -8.6 52.4<br />

4000 80 +1.0 81.0<br />

8000 87 -1.1 85.9<br />

The last column is now summed logarithmically to arrive at the overall<br />

A-weighted level:<br />

L A = 10 Log {Σ 10 (Li/10) } dB<br />

(C.12-2)<br />

L A = 10 Log {10 (34.6/10) + 10 (39.8/10) + 10 (54.9/10) + 10 (52.4/10) +<br />

10 (56.8/10) + 10 (75.0/10) + 10 (83.2/10) + 10 (81.0/10) + 10 (85.9/10) } dB<br />

which results in…<br />

L A = 88.9 dB
