LAeq

LAeq refers to the "equivalent" average sound level measured using the A-weighting which is most sensitive to speech intelligibility frequencies of the human ear. LAeq is prescribed in the AC-3 DTV audio standard as the proper means to set the "dialnorm" value which sets the volume of dialog in every consumer DTV receiver.
