Loudness level and frequency content of noise in the animal house

For a proper evaluation of the physical environment of laboratory animals we should know the loudness level (dB) and frequency (Hz) content of the noise in the animal house (Pfaff, 1974). Physical measurements are necessary since comparison of the threshold...
