On measurements of air- traffic noise

COURSE CONTENT  

Microphones, sound level meters, pre-amplifiers, amplifiers, calibrators (types, characteristics, operation principles and selection criteria). Acoustic measurement techniques (outdoors, indoors). Acoustic signal processing and analysis. Aircraft noise certification measurements and measurements analysis.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning outcomes upon successful completion of course requirements:

Knowledge: Microphones, sound level meters, measurement techniques and signal processing. Acquired knowledge is useful in other noise-related courses and for real life noise measurements.

Skills:

• Software development (basic/medium level),
• Software de-bugging (basic/medium level),
• Critical evaluation of assumption and results (theoretical and numerical).
• Critical evaluation of existing/commercial software
• Effective decision making during field measurements

Desired competence:

Noise measurement and processing of measurements in real-life aircraft noise certification measurements
