1.  L WAd is the statistical upper-limit A-weighted sound power level (rounded to the nearest 0.1 B);
2.  L pAm is the mean A-weighted emission sound pressure level measured at the 1-meter bystander positions (rounded to the nearest dB);
3.  10 dB (decibel) = 1 B (bel);
4.  All measurements made in conformance with ISO 7779 and declared in conformance with ISO 9296


Information on Relative Noisiness
Actual L WAd for this product 7.5
L WAd for a product that would sound roughly twice as loud or twice as noisy 8.5
L WAd for a product that would sound roughly half as loud or half as noisy 6.5
Typical range of L WAd values for similar IBM mainframe and UNIX high-end servers 7.0 - 8.1 B
