Noise pollution is excessive noise. it may harm the activity or balance of human or animal life.
NPL = L50+L10-L90+(L10-L90)2/60
where, NPL = Noise Pollution Level, L90 = Level exceeded 90 Percent of Time, L50 = Level exceeded 50 Percent of Time, L10 = Level exceeded 10 Percent of Time
For example, when Level exceeded 10 Percent of Time(L10) = 2 dB, Level exceeded 50 Percent of Time(L50) = 3 dB, Level exceeded 90 Percent of Time(L90) = 4 dB, then Noise Pollution Level(NPL) = 1.0667dB.
