Simplified method for predicting sound level A in accommodation spaces aboard sea-going motorships
conference paper
The paper is a concise description and evaluation of a method for predicting accommodation noise aboard sea-going ships; noise sources included are main and auxiliary diesel engines, reduction gears and propellers. The method is a rigorous simplification in terms of sound level A of empirical prediction procedures published before; it is intended for use by shipbuilders during the preliminary design stage when assessing various noise countermeasures. Its usefulness is illustrated by comparing calculated and measured noise levels A in 67 cabins aboard 15 ships of different types.
