All experiments related to airborne noise absorption field (background noise absorption and sound pressure level) using the 2260 device made by B&K Denmark. Initially, background noise is measured in both open and closed window modes inside the residential units. After that, SPL acoustic pressure level diagrams were drawn and evaluated using the specific and standard sound levels in decibels in different plan spaces.
