USAF Bioenvironmental Noise Data Handbook. Volume 124. F-104D Aircraft, Near and Far-Field Noise.

This volume provides measured and extrapolated data defining bioacoustic environments produced by this aircraft during ground runup operations. Such data are essential to evaluate ear protection requirements, limiting personnel exposure times, voice communication capabilities, and annoyance problems associated with ground runups of the F-104D aircraft. This volume is one of a series published by the Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory AMRL under the same report number AMRL-TR-75-50 as a multi-volume handbook that quantifies the noise environments produced at flightground crew locations and in surrounding communities by operations of Air Force aircraft and ground support equipment. The far-field, community-type, noise data in the handbook describe the noise produced during ground operations of aircraft, ground support equipment, and other ground-based equipment or facilities. Volume 1 of this handbook discusses the objectives and design of the handbook, the types of data presented, measurement procedures, instrumentation, data processing, definitions of quantities, symbols, equations, applications, limitations, etc. Volume 2 provides a method and data for adjusting the handbookss far-field noise data, which are for standard meteorological conditions 15 C temperature, 70 rel humidity, 0.760 meters Hg barometric pressure, to derive comparable data for other meteorological conditions. Refer to Volumes 1 and 2 references 1 and 2 for such information because it is not repeated in other handbook volumes.
