A36.9.3.2.1 The one-third octave band levels 

SPL(i) comprising PNL (the PNL at the mo-
ment of PNLTM observed at K) must be ad-
justed to reference levels SPL(i)

as follows: 

A36.9.3.2.1(a) For calculations using the 

English System of Units:

In this expression, 
(1) The term 0.001[

a(i)¥a(i)

]QK is the ad-

justment for the effect of the change in 
sound attenuation coefficient, and 

a(i) and 

a(i)

0

are the coefficients for the test and ref-

erence atmospheric conditions respectively, 

determined under section A36.7 of this appen-
dix;

) is the adjust-

ment for the effect of the change in the noise 
path length due to the ‘‘inverse square’’ law; 

(4) QK and Q
