Figure 4 The 24-hour average of equivalent continuous noise level, L90, L10 and maximum sound level.
L10 - noise levels exceeded for 10% of the time; L90 - noise levels exceeded for 90% of the time. L90 is often considered background noise. L10, L90: Representing sound levels exceeding 10% and 90% of the time, respectively; LEQ: Equivalent continuous noise level; Lmax: Maximum sound level; WHO: World Health Organization; ICU: Intensive care unit.
