> I would only disagree a bit with the 5 dB correction between A-weighted a=
nd broad-band noise figures (you obviously took that from the RaneNote arti=
cle). In my experience, the difference between broad-band (20 Hz - 20 kHz b=
andwidth) and A-weigthed noise figures is only about 2 to 3 dB as long as t=
he frequency spectrum of the noise floor is relatively flat.

I agree; the 5 dB figure may apply to urban interior noise, which has a lot=
 of traffic rumble.
