Equivalent sound levels
CONCEPTS

If the difference of sound level between

highest and next highest sound level is:

0-1 then add 3 dB to the higher level to give total noise level
2-3 then add 2 dB to the higher level to give total noise level

4-9 then add 1 dB to the higher level to give total noise level

10 or more then higher level is total noise level
