Does anyone have a 'quotable' specification for an acceptable sound level for an office environment? By quotable, I mean a MIL standard, OSHA spec, or the like that I can plug into a military Request for Proposal. We all instinctivly know what we can live with, but firm dB levels seem hard to come by. Minimum I need are noise levels, but any other (like levels at specific frequencies) would be appreciated. Thanx, Doug -------

I think some work in this area was published by the Human Factors Society and, as I remember, the recommendation was for 60 db or less. I don't remember seeing any discussions regarding specific frequencies. Jeff Edelheit (edelheit@mitre)
