A sound pressure level in decibels, obtained by adding to perceived noise level an adjustment that is related to the degree of irregularity that may occur among contiguous one-third octave band sound pressure levels of an aircraft noise.

Niveau de pression acoustique, exprimé en décibels, obtenu en ajoutant au niveau de bruit perçu une correction relative aux irrégularités qui peuvent avoir lieu entre les niveaux de pression acoustique dans des bandes de tiers d'octave contigües pour le bruit d'un aéronef.
