Influences of weather, damage and ageing on the performance of outdoor microphone windshields

Articles, Environmental Noise, Guillaume Goulamhoussen, Noise Measurement, Richard Wright, Technical Papers No Responses »

Nov 302011

Windshields fitted to outdoor measuring microphones serve a dual purpose – to reduce wind-generated noise, and to protect the delicate microphone from damage by environmental factors such as rain, ice and dust.

However, the presence of a windshield inevitably affects the directional and frequency responses of the measuring system.

This paper presents results of measurements on the directional and frequency responses of a selection of windshield types under a variety of climate conditions such as rain and ice, and after typical wear such as bird damage and sunlight degradation.

The paper concludes with remarks on the potential for deviations in measurement performance due to the windshield when carrying out real-world environmental noise measurements.

Motorbike exhaust sound levels for track and race days - An overview from a rider

Nov 292011

As a motorbike track day enthusiast and rider myself, I have friends regularly asking me for advice when it comes to what is the maximum sound level their bike exhaust noise level can be.

When I reply with the question, ‘what circuit are you racing at?’ they seem surprised that this is relevant and that I was unable to provide them with a simple dB Level!

A circuit has individual noise levels in force depending on their surrounding environment; these considerations can include how close they are, for example, to residential properties, a hospital or a school. The decision of what this noise level will be is based on calculations on the levels coming from the track and how the noise propagates to these properties. Continue reading »
