2、993(E) IS0 9568:1993(E) Foreword IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body interested in

3、 a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commiss

4、ion (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Internation

7、heatres, review rooms and dubbing rooms 1 Scope This International Standard specifies measurement methods and maximum ratings for indoor background sound pressure levels in theatres, review rooms and dubbing rooms. It applies to noise emitted by heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems, int

8、rusive noise from the projector(s) associated with the theatre and noise emitted by any other mechanical or electrical equip- ment in the theatre building. It is intended for appli- cation when the background noise is essentially a steady-state sound, without strong time-varying com- ponents. It doe

9、s not apply to intrusive noise from other sources outside the theatre, such as aircraft, highway traffic, or adjacent theatres, or to noise resulting from the operation of the sound system in the theatre, or the vibration of the theatre, i.e. movement of the building below 20 Hz. 2 Normative referen

10、ces The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publica- tion, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International St

11、andard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most re- cent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain registers of cur- rently valid International Standards. IS0 266:1975, Acoustics - Preferred frequencies for measurements. I EC 651: 1979, Soun

12、d level meters. 3 Test conditions 3.1 The air-handling system of the theatre shall be brought to the noisiest state in which it is used during screenings, generally “on”, with cooling compressors operating. Any other mechanical or electrical equip- ment, such as projector exhaust fans, sump pumps, t

13、ransformers, or the like, within the theatre building shall be brought to the noisiest state that will occur during screenings. The projector system shall be run- ning normally, with film. Power to the theatre sound system shall be turned off. 3.2 Measurement equipment shall conform to IEC 651, usin

14、g a class II octave band filter or class III third-octave band filter in accordance with IS0 266. 3.3 The measurement system shall be set to “slow” reading. 3.4 The measurement system shall be calibrated immediately before use by means of an acoustic calibrator accurate to within + 0,5 dB for sound

15、pressure level. The calibration shall be checked after use, and if changes greater than 0,5 dB are found, the measurements shall be considered invalid. The acoustic calibrator shall be checked at least once per year against a known source. IS0 9566:1993(E) 3.5 At high frequencies, room background no

16、ise levels are often in the same range as ordinary measurement equipment noise. Therefore, care should be taken to ensure that the measured levels are not influenced in any band by noise in the measurement instrument(s) by testing the measure- ment instrument(s) under all relevant conditions, in- cl

17、uding switch settings of any attenuators or gain controls. Do not report noise levels at or below the capability of the instrumentation in use. 4 Measurements 4.1 Measurements shall be recorded in octave bands over the range from 31,5 Hz to 16 kHz as sound pressure levels. 4.1.1 The preferred octave

18、 band centre frequencies are 31,5 Hz, 63 Hz, 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz and 16 kHz. 4.1.2 If third-octave band measurement equipment is available rather than octave band or switchable bandwidth equipment, measurements may be made in third-octave bands and converted to octave

19、bands by logarithmic addition of three bands (one at the octave band centre and the two surrounding it). The octave band sound pressure level, L, is then: L = 10 log, (1 oL110 + 1 ob10 + 1 o !i2Ncr;t-run theatres shall have a maximum rating r, is the sound pressure level of the second third-octave;

20、5.3 Subsequent-run theatres shall have a maximum rating of NC-35. 5 is the sound pressure level of the third 5.4 Levels beyond NC-45 will result in poor audio third-octave. reproduction. 4.2 The measurements to be recorded shall be made by taking the mean of the readings at a suffi- cient number of

21、locations to provide means with standard deviations under 2 dB; usually, six locations chosen at random within the seating area at seated ear height at least 1,2 m (4 ft) from any wall surface will suffice unless there is an unusual spatial distri- bution of background noise. If the total range of t

22、he measurements in an octave band is less than 4 dB, the arithmetic mean may be used; if it is more than 4 dB, the logarithmic mean shall be used. Some re- view rooms can be so small that strong room modes will influence the low-frequency band measurements. Thus a small standard deviation can be uno

23、btainable. In such cases, the low-frequency bands can be unre- liably reported and shall therefore be neglected in any calculations. 4.3 Plot the spectrum resulting from the recorded measurements on octave band noise criteria graph paper such as that shown in figure 1. The point of the highest excur

24、sion of the background noise spectrum compared to the noise criteria (NC) curves is the NC rating. NOTE 1 The original NC curves (see 5.1) have been ex- trapolated to the 31.5 Hz and the 16 kHz octave bands for the purposes of this International Standard. 5 Sound pressure level classifications 5.1 D

25、ubbing rooms, review rooms and premier showings (see A.3 and A.4) shall have a minimum rating of NC-20 and a maximum rating of NC-25.

The curves, if followed as design criteria, do not result in neutral sounding background noise spectra. Many liste

27、ners observe that an NC spectrum sounds too “rumbly” and too “hissy”, hav- ing too much very low-frequency and very high- frequency energy. A constant sloped spectrum at - 5 dB per octave from low- to high-frequencies has been observed as producing a more neutral sounding spectrum and is probably mo

28、re suitable for design purposes. A.2 The NC rating of a space does not represent the spectrum of the background noise; valuable infor- mation about the “quality” of the noise in a space is missing from any single number rating. It can be useful to retain records of the complete spectrum, since there

29、 exist methods to further characterize the noise, such as the RC method, which can yield more information. In particular, spectra with narrow band concentrations of energy sound “tonal”; subjectively, they might be increased in rating by as much as 8 dB relative to the continuous spectrum, depending

30、 upon how far above the average spectrum the tonal component lies. A.3 Too little noise in a theatre or review room can be a problem as well as too much. With too much noise, detail is obscured and, ultimately, intelligibility suffers. With too little noise, intermittent intrusive noise may become a

31、udible and annoying; therefore, it is advisable to use reasonable background noise levels to mask intrusive noise sources. A.4 Dubbing studios are advised that if the back- ground noise levels in studios are much lower than those in theatres, low-level sounds which are audible in the dubbing studio

32、can be inaudible in theatres be- cause of masking. A.5 As a guide to whether high levels of vibration are present, measurement of the “linear” weighting of a Type 1 sound level meter compared with the octave band sound pressure level can provide useful information; if the level of linear measurement

33、 ex- ceeds the logarithmically added sum of the band lev- els from 31,5 Hz to 16 kHz by more than 3 dB, then vibration which is detectable by the audience is pres- ent. A.6 As a practical matter, large diameter micro- phones are useful for measuring the sometimes very low theatre noise levels due to

34、 their low self-noise, but large diameter microphones also show relatively strong diffraction effects at high frequencies. To ob- tain an adequate spatial average of high frequencies, the microphone should be rotated at least about a line perpendicular to the floor and a line perpendicular to the si

35、de walls to obtain the average reading at each location for the high-frequency bands.
