    2. Measurement parameters: Record A-weighted sound pressure level (LpA) and sound power level (LWA).

    3. Testing duration: Perform multiple measurements to ensure accuracy and repeatability.

    Measurement and Analysis Methods

    1. Sound level meter calibration: Verify the accuracy of the sound level meter using a calibrator.

    2. Data collection: Record sound pressure levels and sound power levels during testing.

    3. Data analysis: Calculate average sound pressure levels, sound power levels, and other acoustic parameters.

    Test Reporting and Documentation

    The test report provides detailed information on the results of the noise measurement.

    Test Report Structure

    1. Introduction: Brief overview of the test purpose, scope, and objectives.

    2. Test conditions: Description of the testing environment, equipment setup, and measurement parameters.

    3. Results: Presentation of sound pressure levels, sound power levels, and other acoustic data.

    4. Conclusion: Summary of the findings and recommendations for future improvements.
