continuous sound pressure level

'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.

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,

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
