The necessary lab tests were conducted for getting the inputs required for the SEA analysis. The SEA methodology was efficient to correlate with test results and it also helped to arrive to the solution which analytically shown significant reduction in Sound Pressure Level (SPL) at operator ear location with improving speech clarity.", }
