OK Rod: Router sound levels.
Bosch 1617evspk router mounted in table
idling full RPM: 96 dBSPL
Cutting 1/2" straight carbide spiral bit 1/4" deep dado in cedar: 100 dBSPL
I decided to stay with the C-weighting - at 90 dB and above, the ear's relative sensitivity to low frequency rises so C-weighting is probably more appropriate for louder noise levels.
