Use of Telephones in Noisy Areas

Satisfactory, difficult and impossible noise levels for telephone use in noisy areas.

Background noise interferes with telephone conversations, and

  • conditions are satisfactory at levels less than 65 SIL (dB) (approx. 72 dBA)
  • conditions are difficult at levels in the range 65 - 80  SIL (dB) (approx. 72 - 87 dBA)
  • conditions are impossible at levels above 80  SIL (dB) (approx. 87 dBA)
