Weighting filters try and give readings that roughly correspond to the way humans respond to sound. Sound pressure level measurements use weighting filters based on three curves : A, B and C.... The B-weighting curve is used for [measuring] intermediate level sounds and has the same upper corner as the C-weighting, but the lower amplitude corner is 120 Hz. The A-weighting curve is used for measuring low level signals such as background noise. 1, record 1, English, - C%2Dweighting%20curve
