A-weighted sound level

The sound level measured with a sound-level meter using A-weighting, which alters the sensitivity of the sound-level meter with respect to frequency so that the sound-level meter is less sensitive at frequencies where the ear is less sensitive; usually used in specifying permissible sound levels in buildings.
