def self.a_weighted_sound_pressure_level(p_a, measurement_time: 1.0)
  10 * Math.log10((1.0 / measurement_time) * (p_a ** 2) / (Constants::REFERENCE_SOUND_PRESSURE ** 2))
end

.equivalent_continuous_sound_level(levels, measurement_time) ⇒ Float

Calculate equivalent continuous sound level (L_Aeq,T) as defined in Section 3.7

Examples:

levels = [65.0, 67.0, 63.0]
Part_1_2003.equivalent_continuous_sound_level(levels, 3.0) # => ~65.1

Parameters:

  • levels (Array<Float>) —

    Array of sound pressure levels (dB)

  • measurement_time (Float) —

    Total measurement time (seconds)

Returns:

  • (Float) —

    Equivalent continuous sound level in dB

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    if measurement_time is not positive
