sound level/noise level at 20 m from source/origin
we always tended to use "noise level" in our technical railway meetings, after all that's what dB(A) measures - see below
Noise measured on this scale is given in units of db(A). ... 6 dB engine noise reduction; 50% improvement in nacelle liner efficiency; 4 dB airframe noise ...

I know it sounds less scientific than the German but that's how English is....!

PS Ernst gives sound level, for what that's worth

You are right, Schalldruckpegel = sound pressure level (according to Dictionary of Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering and Automation, Siemens)

German term (edited):
*Schalldruckpegel: 90 dB( A) in 20 m zur Mündung*
SPL (sound pressure level): 90 dB (A) 20 m after mouth*
from logic as no SPL is measured inside the mouth
