Version 0.1 (2026-11-12)
Duration-weighted acoustic interval tables and energy means for LaTeX. Commands: AcousticIntervalReport{LAeq}{60/60,60/70} and AcousticIntervalMean{60/60,60/70}.
Requires LaTeX 2022-06-01 or newer and booktabs. No special fonts, shell escape, network access or platform-specific programs. Put acousticintervals.sty beside your document. Compile acousticintervals-doc.tex with pdfLaTeX for documentation and synthetic regression examples.
Input is a comma-separated list of duration/level decimal pairs. Intervals must be consecutive and non-overlapping with consistent weighting, microphone position and meter setup. Invalid inputs suppress the whole result. Results are not exposure, safety or legal assessments. Example values are invented, not product measurements.

Acousticintervals – Duration-weighted acoustic interval tables and energy means
This package produces compact tables and duration-weighted energy means for consecutive equivalent-continuous sound-level intervals. Its two commands take decimal duration/level pairs and report the combined level, avoiding the error of averaging decibel values arithmetically. Invalid pairs, non-positive durations, out-of-range values and unsupported report basis labels suppress the result.
The package uses the floating-point support of the LaTeX kernel and booktabs; no external programs or shell escape are needed. It is a reporting aid, not an exposure, hearing-safety or legal-compliance assessment.
