Bibliographic information Wirtschaftsverlag NW, Postfach 10 11 10, Am Alten Hafen 113-115, 27511 Bremerhaven, Germany, 1993. iv, 96p. Illus. 17 ref. Price: DEM 21.50.
Abstract Noise propagation was measured in 115 machine shops, including new and old buildings with and without sound absorbing facilities. Results were compared with the sound decay curves predicted by 12 models of sound propagation. Statistical evaluations of the results obtained at distances between 5 and 16m from a steadily emitting source yielded a standard deviation of 1.8dB between the calculated sound pressure levels and the measured ones. For Part I, see CIS 92-1699. Summaries in French, German and English.
