piekgeluidsdrukniveau
Piekgeluidsdrukniveau refers to the maximum instantaneous sound pressure level measured during a sound event. Unlike average sound pressure levels which provide a smoothed representation of loudness over time, the peak sound pressure level captures the highest amplitude of the sound wave. This is particularly relevant for transient sounds or impacts that produce sudden, short bursts of intense sound.
It is typically measured in decibels (dB) and is a crucial parameter in assessing potential noise hazards
Regulatory bodies and safety standards often specify limits for peak sound pressure levels to protect workers
