Regional noise standards specify criterion level. Dose - expressed in percent, it is the percent of the maximum exposure that has accumulated over the run time.
- Page 11 Peak level - the highest instantaneous sound level that the microphone detects. Unlike the Max Level, the peak is detected independently of the slow or fast response time the unit is set for. Response Time (Fast, Slow, Impulse) - how quickly the circuitry responds to changing noise levels.
