Purpose of ASHRAE TC 2.6:

To develop, promote and disseminate information and tools that enable HVAC System Engineers, Contractors, Manufacturers, and Owners to design and implement quiet air conditioning systems.

A procedure has been proposed for measuring sound in rooms. It is now being prepared as an ASHRAE Standard. It is still being developed and tested for uniformity of results.
The following links present the proposed procedure and a public forum for comments.. Please review the procedure and post your comments on the public forum:
