This American National Standard provides definitions for terms used in human bioacoustics. Some
additional general terms for measurement and instruments related to applications in psychoacoustics
are also provided.Acoustical terms of more general use in the performance of acoustical measurements, the properties
of electroacoustic transducers, and applications in the fields of architectural acoustics, environmental
acoustics, underwater sound, and music are provided in ANSI/ASA S1.1-2013 American National
Standard Acoustical Terminology. A selected set of terms from clause 3 of ANSI/ASA S1.1-2013
involving acoustical levels is listed here in Annex A, and terms from clause 6 on transducer and linear
system properties are included here as Annex B. The entire clause 11 of ANSI/ASA S1.1-2013
containing psychoacoustics and physiological acoustical terminology is included here in Annex C, and
the entire clause 12 on musical acoustics is included here in Annex D. All terms defined in the body of
