what is meant is here is:

what other/auxiliary means can be used in places/zones that are too far away from sirens - so far away that you can't hear clearly enough the sirens.

How do I calculate the effective distance and coverage of an alarm sounder?

Loudness decreases as the listener gets further from the source of the sound, mainly due to “divergence”. The intensity decreases because the energy is spread over a larger area. It decreases inversely with the square of the distance from the source at a rate of 6dB for each doubling of the distance. So the sound output from an alarm rated at 106dBA) will travel twice as far as a sounder rated at 100dB(A). If a sounder is rated at 100dB(A) at 1 metre, at two metres it will be 94dB(A), at 4 metres it will be 88dB(A) and so on.

The "audibility" of a siren has two components:

- How loud is the sound emitted by the siren (decibels at the source of sound)

- How far you can clearly hear the siren (a distance)

In this text when they talk of "изван чујности сирена" the ONLY aspect that is relevant / could make sense is about the distance from the siren.

neutral Natasa Stankovic : Čemu ovo suvišno i nepotrebno dodavanje onoga čega nema ni u izvorniku i to bez direktnih referenci? // Sad baš preteraste! Ne želim da se sa vama svađam, po meni tome ovde svakako nije mesto - stoga, laku noć!

"сувишно и непотребно" узети у обзир целу реченицу? Довољно је превести једну реч као да лебди у ваздуху сама за себе? То није мој метод превођења. Овде је у питању растојање, не децибели, тј. "домет чујности".

audibility


Calderdale Council, UK
- Agency has taken the decision to cancel its flood warning siren audibility test, which it had been planning for Thursday 3 October.

International Atomic Energy Agency
- In subsequent steps of this procedure, siren audibility is estimated for people indoors and outdoors at each site.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Daryo : "audibility" doesn't associate with the the maximum distance at which you can still hear the sirens.// the term asked has to be translated as used in / taking into account the meaning given in the source text, otherwise why not just use MT?

Traži se prevod samo za termin „čujnost“ i to je dato potkrepljeno veoma pouzdanim referencama: „(siren) audibility“. Nigde se ne traži „maximum distance“ ili sl. detaljisanje i objašnjavanje. A i jasno je da je „čujnost“ uslovljena razdaljinom!!!

Чујност

"Earshot" - čujnost ili "Ears zone" - čujnost

"Within the borders of hearing" - isto bi značilo "čujnost"

Hvala vam.
neutral Slobodan Kozarčić : Ова особа, Gilou, поуздано не зна српски већ насумично иде по свим језицима и користи Гугл да би набио највећи број поена, што је и постигао. Али, и ћорава кока...
