  5. A-weighting is the most commonly used of a family of curves defined in the International standard IEC 61672:2003 and various national standards relating to the measurement of sound pressure level (as opposed to actual sound pressure). The others are B, C, D and now Z weightings (see below).
  6. (Weighting) The process of weighting involves emphasising some aspects of a phenomenon, or of a set of data — giving them 'more weight' in the final effect or result. It is analogous to the practice of adding extra weight to one side of a pair of scales to favour a buyer or seller.

  11. (A-weighting) A frequency-response adjustment of a sound-level meter that makes its reading conform, very roughly, to human response.
  12. (Weighting) A process used to ensure that statistics produced from a sample are representative of the population from which the sample was drawn. Most large surveys include weights and descriptive statistics produced from such surveys should be based on weighted data.
  13. (A-WEIGHTING) A measure of sound pressure level designed to reflect the response of the human ear, which does not respond equally to all frequencies. ...
  14. (A-Weighting) Measurement based roughly on the uneven frequency sensitivity of the human ear. The influences of low and high frequencies are reduced in comparison to midrange frequencies because people are most sensitive to midrange sounds.
  15. (A-weighting) A standard compensation (weighting) curve sometimes applied to audio measurements to account for the ear's response to low-level sound. Frequently applied to measurements of the residual noise levels of wireless microphone systems and other electronic devices. ("A-weighted noise.")

  22. (WEIGHTING) Component series are equally weighted in the aggregation process into a country CLI. On the other hand, GDP-PPP weights are used to estimate the CLIs for groups of countries, i.e. zone.
