Any sound or noise level measurement made pursuant to the provisions of this title shall be measured with a sound level meter using the A-weighted network (scale) as slow response. The interior noise measurement shall be made at a point in the affected unit at least four feet from the wall, ceiling or floor nearest the noise source with all windows and doors in a fully closed position. The maximum noise level generated by the offending noise source shall be noted for comparison with the noise standard. The noise measurement should be conducted for a duration sufficient to quantify the intruding noise source. For the purposes of quantifying live or amplified music, a measurement of five (5) minutes is deemed acceptable for assessment purposes.
