IEEE 656:2018

Scope
This standard describes manual and automated procedures for measuring audible noise from overhead power transmission lines.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to establish uniform procedures for the measurement of audible noise from overhead transmission lines, using instrumentation that conforms to ANSI S1.4 or IEC 61672-1 [B2] standards. A uniform procedure is a prerequisite to valid evaluation and comparisons of the audible-noise performance of various overhead power transmission lines.
Abstract
Revision Standard - Active. Uniform procedures are established for manual and automatic measurement of audible noise from overhead transmission lines. Their purpose is to allow valid evaluation and comparison of the audible noise performance of various overhead lines. Definitions are provided, and instruments are specified. Measurement procedures are set forth, and precautions are given. Supporting data that should accompany the measurement data are specified, and methods for presenting the latter are described.
