Tech/Engineering
German term or phrase: Dauerschalldruckpegel
Talking about the sound emissions from a polishing machine: "Der A-bewertete äquivalente Dauerschalldruckpegel der Maschine liegt unter 70 dB (A)".

English translation:continuous sound pressure level
Explanation:
'Scalldruckpegel' is 'sound pressure level' from Cornelsne, Techniches Wórterbuch Machinenbau/Anlagetehcnik/Umwelttechnik

(PS: 'A-bewertetede' is 'A-weighted' (this refers to a weighting curve that approximates human hearing sensitivity). Using 'A-weighted' and 'dB(A) in the same sentence is by the way somewhat redundant.

Explanation:
I know you chose an answer already, but I think 'sustained acoustic presure level' sounds more on the level of the document.
Just trying to help,

Explanation:
Ditto, but dB (decibells) measure sound intensity, which is an energy per whatever, but is not a pressure, which is a force per unit area. The word Druck means pressure, but in this context you should use intensity. The concept of Dauerschall is the loudness allowed as a background, exclusive uf occasional sound bursts. Nan
