Public Administration | A measure of sound in which greater emphasis is given to medium and high frequencies to which the human ear is most sensitive. The dBA measure, which is the most usual in noise abatement and control activities, gives a good correlation with the subjective impression of loudness (an addition of 10 dBA represents approximately a doubling of subjective loudness).

dBa: Abbreviation for decibels adjusted. Weighted absolute noise power, calculated in dB referenced to 3.16 picowatts (-85 dBm), which is 0 dBa.
Note: The use of F1A-line or HA1-receiver weighting must be indicated in parentheses as required. A one-milliwatt, 1000-Hz tone will read +85 dBa, but the same power as white noise, randomly distributed over a 3-kHz band (nominally 300 to 3300 Hz), will read +82 dBa, due to the frequency weighting. Synonym dBrn adjusted.
