A320 cockpit noise levels
Just a quick question.
Been thinking about noise levels in the Airbus cockpit and use of intercom, ANR headsets, etc. My old company had numbers showing that the average noise level in the 320 was slightly higher than the maximum recommended for daily exposure. I think the recommendation was about 85db.
Does anyone know or have any info on this?? I remember being told that simply covering both ears with the headset, even the crappy, flimsy, floppy, Airbus ones, will provide enough attenuation to bring the levels back below the recommended max.
Thanks all!
