A short literature review is presented on the emission of
noise and its measurement in the field. The applicability
of existing measurement procedures to large industrial
sources is analysed. As a result, a new proposal for a
procedure is outlined. The method chosen as a basis for
the procedure consists of one or more measurement paths
of arbitrary shape encircling the source area. The
industrial establishment or premises are treated as a
single extended source. Only horizontal sound radiation
is considered. Special emphasis is given to the
determination of the acoustic centre and horizontal
directivity.
