The calculation procedure Mark VII gives the perceived level of loudness or noisiness in PLdB. It utilizes a set of frequency‐weighting contours based on an average of 25 experimental contours. The standard reference sound is defined as a 13‐oct band centered at 3150 Hz. The perceived magnitude (loudness or noisiness) grows as the 23 power of the sound pressure, so that perceived magnitude doubles with each increase of 9 dB. The summation formula for the total subjective magnitude remains St = Sm + F (∑S − Sm), but the value of F is made to vary as a function of level in order to reflect the nonlinear growth (in log‐log coordinates) of broad‐band noise. As a result of the new reference sound at 3150 Hz, perceived level in decibels (PLdB) is approximately 8 dB lower than the older loudness level in phons. Except for the nearly constant difference of 8 dB, Mark VI and Mark VII give closely similar results for typical broad‐band noises. The 8‐dB downward shift makes it possible for a sound level meter with a...
