A-weighting is the most commonly used of a family of curves defined in the International standard IEC 61672:2003 and various national standards relating to the measurement of sound pressure level. A-weighting is applied to instrument-measured sound levels in an effort to account for the relative loudness perceived by the human ear, as the ear is less sensitive to low audio frequencies. It is employed by arithmetically adding a table of values, listed by octave or third-octave bands, to the measured sound pressure levels in dB. The resulting octave band measurements are usually added (logarithmic method) to provide a single A-weighted value describing the sound; the units are written as dB(A). Other weighting sets of values – B, C, D and now Z – are discussed below.

  • Die Frequenzbewertung ist ein Verfahren zur frequenzabhängigen Anpassung von Schalldruckpegeln in der Akustik. Hierbei werden die Messgrößen durch ein bewertendes Filter gewichtet, das den Frequenzgang des menschlichen Gehörs berücksichtigt und somit die Messwerte dem menschlichen Hörempfinden anpasst. Die Frequenzbewertung ist ein frequenzabhängiger Abzug bzw. Zuschlag vom ermittelten Pegel und wird bewerteter Schalldruckpegel genannt, welcher als dB(X) oder mit dBX angegeben wird. Das Symbol X steht dabei für den im jeweiligen Fall konkret eingesetzten Bewertungsfilter. In praktischen Anwendungen üblich sind die A-Bewertung, ausgedrückt in dB(A), und bei hohem Schalldruckpegel eine C-Bewertung in dB(C). Die B- und D-Bewertung sind aus der zugrundeliegenden Norm für Schallpegelmessgeräte (de)
  • La curva di pesatura A riferita al decibel è nata a seguito degli studi di e degli anni trenta sulla risposta dell'orecchio umano rispetto alla composizione dei suoni in livelli e frequenza (curve isofoniche). Si scelse di conseguenza come curva di ponderazione quella della risposta equivalente dell'orecchio ai 40 dBSPL e 1000 Hz. Tale curva è stata denominata curva A ed è per questo che tutte le valutazioni di livelli sonori che hanno come scopo quello di misurare il disturbo o comunque l'effetto di un suono o rumore sull'uomo esprimono tali livelli in dB (A).

  • De dB(A) is de eenheid waarin de sterkte van het geluid in verreweg de meeste gevallen wordt weergegeven. De dB(A) is afgeleid van de gewone decibel, maar corrigeert de geluidssterktes voor de gevoeligheid van het (menselijk) oor. Deze is namelijk voor de verschillende frequenties van het geluid niet gelijk. In de figuur hiernaast is deze weging weergegeven. Bij 1000 Hz wordt geen correctie uitgevoerd, de weging is daar 0 dB. Bij 10 Hz (helemaal links in de grafiek) bedraagt de weging -70 dB. Dat betekent dat een mens een toon van 10 Hz veel zachter hoort dan een toon van 1000 Hz met dezelfde fysische geluidssterkte, namelijk 70 dB zachter. Mensen zijn dan ook bijna doof voor zulke lage tonen. (nl)
