This SAE Recommended Practice sets forth the instrumentation and procedures to be used in measuring exterior sound levels of self-propelled agricultural field equipment of 15 kW (20 net engine hp) or greater. It is not intended to cover operation of safety devices (such as alarms), or equipment used primarily in stationary operation. The sound levels obtained by using this test procedure are repeatable and representative of the higher range of sound levels generated by the machine in normal road transport. The sound levels are not intended to represent the average or equivalent sound levels over a field use cycle.

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 specifies procedures for measuring operator and exterior sound levels emitted by self-powered trenching machines regardless of engine size. This procedure does not cover operation of devices such as backup alarms, horns, or accessories such as paving breakers. The sound levels obtained using this procedure are repeatable and representative of the higher range of sound levels generated by machines under actual field operating conditions, but do not necessarily represent the average sound level over a field use cycle. Measurement and calculation of the operator's sound exposure should follow SAE J1166.

All types of trenching equipment regardless of engine size may be tested under this recommended practice. It is not intended to cover operation of safety devices such as backup alarms or accessories such as paving breakers. The sound levels obtained by using the test procedures set forth in this SAE Recommended Practice 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. For measurement and calculation of the operator’s sound exposure, the procedure should follow the SAE Recommended Practice J1166a.

The requirements for setting up and operating the machinery, the microphone array and the size of the hemispherical measurement surface are given in this recommended practice. This recommended practice shall be used in conjunction with ISO 4872-1978, which gives the basic criteria for the acoustic environment, instrumentation, microphone positions, procedures for the measurement of the A-weighted sound pressure levels and the calculation of the A-weighted sound power levels.

This SAE Standard describes the instrumentation and procedures to be used in measuring sound levels at the operator station 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 SAE document is applicable to machines that have operator stations where the operator can either stand or sit and will be either transported by, or walk with the machine during its operation. The sound levels obtained using this procedure are repeatable and 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 operator noise exposure evaluations. Measurement and calculation of the operator's sound exposure should follow SAE J1166.

This SAE Standard describes a method for measuring the weighted sound pressure levels at prescribed microphone positions in the proximity of a device or machine for outdoor use, in order to determine compliance with noise limits. The A-weighted sound power level of the source is calculated from the measured values.

This SAE Standard describes a method for determining the exterior noise emitted by earthmoving machinery in terms of the A-weighted sound power level while the machine is in a stationary test condition. At six positions on a hemispherical surface, the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure levels are measured. The A-weighted sound power level of the machinery is calculated from the measured values.

This SAE Standard describes a method for determining the noise emitted to the environment by earthmoving machinery in terms of the A-weighted sound power level while the machine is working under dynamic test conditions.

This SAE Standard sets forth measurement procedures and instrumentation to be used for determining a “representative” sound level during a representative time period at selected measurement locations on a construction site boundary. The document is not intended for use in determining occupational hearing damage risk. Determination of a representative time period is left to the judgment of the user.
