Abstract :
The logarithmic transformation, 
, of the normally distributed random variable 
is discussed in this paper. Particular attention is focused on the field of acoustical noise measurements. The probability density function, mean value, and standard deviation of 
are derived, and a graphical method for estimating its 95th and 97.72nd percentiles is presented.
