“…A-weighting is used because it approximates the "equal loudness perception characteristics of human hearing for pure tones relative to a reference of 40 dB at a frequency of 1,000 Hz" and is considered to provide a better estimation of hearing loss risk than using unweighted or other weighting measurements [Earshen 2003]. …”
