SNR Explained

SNR is a Single Number Rating system. SNR values are used to compare the level of noise attenuation offered by hearing protectors. To calculate acoustic pressure on your ears, you can subtract the SNR value from the average noise level measured. For example:

  • The noise level measures roughly 88 dB.
  • You are wearing ear protection with an SNR of 19.
  • Thus, the acoustic pressure on your ears is on average 88 – 19 = 69 dB.

The higher the SNR, the higher the level of noise attenuation provided by the hearing protection.
