Standards > Abstract of "MilStd-1474D..." Title: Department of Defense Design Criteria Standard: Noise Limits Authors: U.S. Dept. of Defense Reference: DoD MilStd-1474D, February, 1997. (107 pages). Report No.: R0200703 Cost: US$18.00 File Size: 1.2 MB Abstract This standard establishes acoustical noise limits and prescribes testing requirements and measurement techniques for determining conformance to the noise limits specified herein. This standard applies to the acquisition and product improvement of all designed or purchased (non-developmental items) systems, subsystems, equipment, and facilities that emit acoustic noise. This standard is intended to address noise levels emitted during the full range of typical operational conditions. This standard provides criteria for designing materiel having noise levels that: (a) minimize noise induced hearing loss, (b) permit acceptable speech communication in a noisy environment, (c) minimize aural detection by an enemy, (d) minimize community annoyance, and (e) provide acceptable habitability of personnel quarters.
