Noise emissions (Chile)
From a document on noise emissions legislation from Chile. Ideally I'd like help with the translation of the entire phrase, as it is a key part of the document:
"Para cada medición realizada, se elegirá el mayor valor entre el NPSeq y el NPSmáx disminuido en 5 dB(A), y se calculará el promedio aritmético de los valores obtenidos".
NOTE: NPSeq = Equivalent Continuous Sound Pressure Level; NPSmáx = Maximum Sound Pressure Level.
"Para cada medición realizada, se elegirá el mayor valor entre el NPSeq y el NPSmáx disminuido en 5 dB(A), y se calculará el promedio aritmético de los valores obtenidos".
NOTE: NPSeq = Equivalent Continuous Sound Pressure Level; NPSmáx = Maximum Sound Pressure Level.

For each measurement, choose the greater of NPSeq and NPSmax less 5 db(A) and calculate the arithmetic mean of the resulting values.

reduced in 5db (decibels)
Según el contexto, "disminuido en 5", está incompleto debería decir, "disminuido en 5db" al tratarse de los términos usados. Por tanto, se trata de un sistema de medición de ruido usando la escala DB (decibel, 1/10 of Bel) para este tipo de datos. Esto significa que hay dos cantidades representan ruido en potencia que se dividen y se calculan los decibelios =10 logaritmo del cociente entre la dos potencias de ruido. NPS max y NPSeq forman ese cociente => 10 logaritmo del cociente= x decibelios. (ver la tabla de cálculo de la última referencia, Cálculo de DBs), que corresponde a **3.16 veces** para 5 dbs (decibelios). El resultado será "power reduced in 5db"

The decibel (dB) is a logarithmic unit used to express the ratio of two values of a physical quantity. One of these values is often a standard reference value, in which case the decibel is used to express the level[a] of the other value relative to this reference
the number of decibels is ten times the logarithm to base 10 of the ratio of two power quantities
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel
El decibelio o decibel,3 4 con símbolo dB, expresa una razón entre cantidades y no una cantidad. El decibel expresa cuantas veces más o cuantas veces menos, pero no la cantidad exacta. Es una expresión que no es lineal, sino logarítmica. Es una unidad de medida relativa. En audiofrecuencias un cambio de 1 decibel (dB) es apenas (si hay suerte) notado.

: The ST in fact says "disminuido en 5db(A)" - which is absolutely complete and correct - so your 1st sentence is irrelevant. All your references to "dB", including in your proposed translation, should read "dB(A)". This is acoustics, not electronics.

select the greater of NPSeq and NPSmax, reduced by 5 dB(A), and calculate the arithmetic mean of the selected values
The point is that the arithmetic average is calculated from a mixture of NPSeq values and NPSmax-5 values. The acoustic "feature" this caters for is the fact that a high value of NPSeq may be more harmful (cause more annoyance) than the NPSmax value measured over the same period. This may be the case if the noise is fairly constant but has occasional short peaks. The 5dB(A) reduction applied to NPSmax reflects the "annoyance differential" between continuous noise and noise spikes.
