Abstract

The paper presents the work on the problem of qualification of impulsive sounds for applying the adequate value of impulsive adjustment. Impulsive events must be included in the assessment of noise in Poland. There are no agreement for using the objective methods that could classify impulsive sounds on the basis of measurable physical characteristics of the impulses. Moreover, the arbitrary classification includes only a several specified sources. The paper presents the review of methods and criteria for qualification of the impulses, and provides the results of applying these methods on certain impulsive noise source – collision of the wagons.
