The requirements for setting up and operating the machinery, the microphone array and hemispherical measurement surface are given in this document. This document shall be used in conjunction with manufacturer's recommendations pending finalization of ANSI documents on the subject of sound intensity procedures. The accompanying sound intensity procedure clarification is provided pending more widespread understanding of sound intensity.

This SAE Standard is used to determine the exterior A-weighted equivalent sound power level of static and in-place dynamic machines (dozer, loader, excavator, and backhoe) similar to the sound power obtained in ISO 6393 static and ISO 6395 dynamic sound power test procedures. Additional machine types, specifically sweepers and scrubbers, covered by SAE J2130 have been added, and other work machine types covered by SAE J1116 may be added with appropriate cycle descriptions and machine preparation. The recommended test procedures include conventional integrating sound pressure level methods or the sound intensity method using paired microphones. The sound intensity methodology provides a practical indoor alternative and permits measurement in the factory environment. The procedures in this document assume that the dominant sources are not highly sensitive to load (i.e., cooling fan, engine, track system).

This SAE Standard sets forth the instrumentation and procedure to be used in measuring the exterior sound levels for self-propelled sweepers as defined in SAE J2130 and self-propelled off-road work machines in categories 1,2,4, and 5 of SAE J1116. This document does not address the operation of safety devices such as backup alarms, horns, or accessories. The sound levels obtained by using the test procedures set forth in this document are repeatable and are representative of the higher range of sound levels generated by machines under actual field operating conditions. Due to variability of field operating conditions, this data is not intended to be used for construction site boundary noise evaluations.

This SAE Standard sets forth the instrumentation and procedure to be used in measuring the exterior sound pressure levels for self-propelled off-road work machines as defined in sections 1, 3, 5 and 6 of SAE J1116. This document does not address the operation of safety devices such as backup alarms, horns, or accessories. The sound levels obtained by using the test procedures set forth in this document are repeatable and are representative of the higher range of sound levels generated by machines under actual field operating conditions. Due to the variability of field operating conditions, this data is not intended to be used for construction site boundary noise evaluations.

This SAE Recommended Practice sets forth the instrumentation and procedure to be used in measuring exterior sound levels for powered mobile construction equipment of 20 rated bhp and over. It is not intended to cover operation of safety devices (such as backup alarms) and equipment designed primarily for operation on highways or within factories and building areas, aircraft, or recreational vehicles, such as snowmobiles and boats. The sound levels obtained by using the test procedures set forth in this SAE Recommended Practice are repeatable and representative of the sound levels generated by the equipment during normal operating conditions.

This SAE Standard is applicable to machinery of 15 kw (20 rated bhp) and over. It is not intended to cover operation of safety devices (such as backup alarms). The sound levels obtained by using the test procedures set forth in this SAE Standard are repeatable and are representative of the higher range of sound levels generated by the machinery under actual field operating conditions, but do not necessarily represent the average sound level over a field use cycle.
