Combined sound level (dB)
Logarithmic energy sum of mutually uncorrelated sound levels with the same weighting and observation point.
Increase above loudest source (dB)
Logarithmic energy sum of mutually uncorrelated sound levels with the same weighting and observation point.

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Logarithmic energy sum of mutually uncorrelated sound levels with the same weighting and observation point. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
