▪ II. noy, n.2 Physics.|nɔɪ|
[repr. the pronunc. of the first part of noise.]
A unit of perceived noisiness, defined so that the number of noys is proportional to the noisiness of a sound, and one noy is equal to the noisiness of a sound of specified bandwidth and intensity (see quot. 1959).
1959K. D. Kryter in Jrnl. Acoustical Soc. Amer. XXXI. 1424/1 The following..steps were taken in arriving at the procedure suggested for the calculation of the perceived noise kind of a sound: Step 1. First, the word ‘noy’ was coined for the units on the scale of perceived noisiness. The numerical value of 1 was assigned to the perceived noisiness of the band from 910–1090 cps of random noise at a sound pressure level of 40 db re 0·0002 µ bar. 1963Jerrard & McNeill Dict. Sci. Units 96 The noisiness of a jet aircraft taking off is about 110 noys. 1970R. D. Ford Introd. Acoustics vii. 138 The relationship between PN dB and noys is exactly the same as that between phons and sones. 1971B. J. Smith Acoustics ii. 29 Find the total noisiness N from N = Nmax + 0·3(σN - Nmax) where Nmax = highest noy value and σN = sum of the noy values in all octave bands.
