Honing data and calculations with scrutiny, judgment, and experience

Noise control evaluations should involve more than simply inputting received data into an algorithm. If the data looks suspect, it deserves further review. Each element in the system might deserve some judgment about how it fits into a calculation scheme. There are usually several possible approaches to evaluate a particular system. Various added concerns, such as pressure drops, and space limitations, need to be considered. Scrutiny, judgment, and experience tend to enhance each other, leading to evaluations that become much more efficient and reliable.
