The paper covers the methods of measurement of noise from building equipment included in the drafts of the new European standards: pr EN ISO 10052 – survey method and pr EN ISO 16032 – engineering method. The results of acoustic surveys performed in several apartments are the basis for discussing the problems of measurement and evaluation of low frequency noise, in the light of the binding and the proposed measuring methods. The proposed assessment method for the noise spectrum is given.
