Etymon: noise n. Etymology: Shortened < noise n. (see quot. 1959). Physics. the world > matter > physics > science of sound > [noun] > unit of sound > unit of perceived noisiness 1959 K. D. Kryter in 31 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. 1963 H. G. Jerrard & D. B. McNeill 96 The noisiness of a jet aircraft taking off is about 110 noys. 1971 B. J. Smith 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. 1991 C. M. Harris (ed. 3) xlvii. 13 Table 47.1 shows the calculation of the sum of the noy values for each of the 24 bands for the spectrum of the aircraft noise.
