Generation

Noise is unwanted sound characterized by random or irregular fluctuations in amplitude and frequency. The **A-weighting curve** is a frequency-dependent filter that adjusts sound pressure level measurements to approximate human hearing sensitivity, attenuating low and very high frequencies where the ear is less sensitive. The A-weighted sound pressure level is given by: **L_A = L_p + A(f)** where L_p is the unweighted sound pressure level and A(f) is the A-weighting correction factor in dB, which varies with frequency f (approximately -30 dB at 100 Hz, 0 dB at 1 kHz, and -10 dB at 10 kHz).
