German term or phrase: eines um X niedrigeren Fremdgeräuschpegels
Die Konstruktion und Ausführung der Maschinen gewährleisten, dass eine Geräuschemission der Einzelmaschine im Leerlauf, bei 1 Meter Messabstand und eines um 10 dB (A) niedrigeren Fremdgeräuschpegels von 83 dB (A) nicht überschritten wird.

I'm confused by the "eines" part until the end. Can't figure out why it's genitive...

The design and performance of the machines ensure that noise emission of the individual machine at no load, at 1 meter test distance and at a background noise level lower of .... is not exceeded?
