Re: Improving perceived loudness when system is constrained



That may be a possibility but it all depends on the goals and what determines and acceptable result.


After many experiences involving noise in adjacent spaces I have found that rarely is there anything in leases or other related documents actually defining the noise levels to be provided or maintained.  And if you start to apply 'nuisance and annoyance' style acceptance then you potentially get into all sorts of other factors and may have a moving target.  So in many cases, unless you can identify some objective acceptable result then you not only have no basis for any analysis but may you also have no way of documenting when a realistic acceptable result is achieved.


If there currently is no established goal then providing some reference standards that might be applied for that purpose is one area where a subject matter expert may be able to help.
