A-weighting filter: Frequency weighting corresponding approximately to the 40 dB equal
loudness curve, that is to say, the human ear’s response at low to medium
sound levels. It is by far the most commonly applied frequency weighting
and is used for all levels of sound.

B-weighting filter: Frequency weighting corresponding approximately to the 70 dB equal
loudness curve, that is to say, the human ear’s response at medium sound
levels.
C-weighting filter: Frequency weighting corresponding to the 100 dB equal loudness curve, that
is to say, the human ear’s response at fairly high sound levels. Mainly used
when assessing peak values of high sound pressure levels.
Criterion Level: Criterion Level is the maximum averaged sound level allowed for an 8-hour
period. Used for calculation of Dose, ProjDose, DoseUQ and ProjDoseUQ,
where U = F or S and Q = 4, 5 or 6 dB.
