Noise Monitoring
Noise monitoring involves the long-term tracking of sound levels without constant human intervention. There are two primary categories of noise monitoring: workplace noise monitoring and environmental noise monitoring.
The systematic deployment of monitoring equipment for the purpose of detecting or measuring quantitatively or qualitatively the presence, effect, or level of noise.
The most common instruments used for measuring noise are the sound level meter (SLM), the integrating sound level meter (ISLM), and the noise dosimeter.
Noise and vibration monitoring is crucial for understanding what is happening on your site. This helps improve the efficiency of your operations while minimizing risks, such as noise complaints and damage to infrastructure and equipment from excessive vibrations.
There are many sources of noise pollution, but here are some of the main ones:
- Traffic noise
- Air traffic noise
- Construction sites
- Animals
- Catering and night life
Some ways to improve Noise Monitoring:
- Regular Calibration and Maintenance of Monitoring Equipment.
- Identifying Noise-Sensitive Areas and Establishing Monitoring Locations.
- Setting Appropriate Noise Thresholds and Limits.
- Adding carpet, plush furniture, window trimmings and even plants can turn a hard
