- Contexto
- In industry a SPL of 85 dBA is generally considered to be the upper limit of acceptable ambient noise, and all personnel should wear ear defenders whenever working in an environment where the ambient noise is in excess of 85 dBA. Final conclusions about what is to be considered as a safe noise level can only emerge from the study of regular audiograms of flight crew & controls over a long period.
