Noise isolation test

Your explanation of noise isolation test is confusing. Is the test done by playing a sample noise from a speaker so that SPL at the ears of the dummy head is 100 dB? If so, it is not a realistic test. 100 dB SPL are not encountered that often in daily life. May be 85 or 90 dB inside subway trains and 80 dB while out on a busy street.

A better sample noise would be one where SPL of traffic, train and human speech are equalized so that they match average real life levels at the dummy head ears. For example, human speech at 70 dB, traffic at 80 dB and train sound at 90 dB.

    You don’t have to install any additional software for this to work, you just have to be running the latest NVIDIA drivers. We cover the steps to activate it here, under the How to get the best results section.

    From what I understand, the monitor it self needs to have freesync turned on the monitor settings typically. You are saying that is not the case? If that is the case, why do I still have tearing when I run the pendulem test?

    On most monitors, FreeSync needs to be enabled from the monitor’s menus. On the EW3270U, it is automatically enabled. Have you followed the steps on the linked page, setting the Monitor Technology setting to ‘G-SYNC Compatible’, and then enabling G-SYNC in the Set-up G-SYNC menu?

    And you still have tearing in the pendulum test? In the test, is the [G-SYNC] box selected by default? If not, are you able to select it?
