Psophometric weighting

Psophometric weighting

Psophometric weighting refers to any weighting curve used in the measurement of noise. In the field of audio engineering it has a more specific meaning, referring to noise weightings used especially in measuring noise on telecommunications circuits. Key standards are ITU-T 0.41 and C-message weighting as shown here.
