Noise monitoring & assessments
Environmental noise monitoring is essential for evaluating the impact of noise on communities, ecosystems, and public health. It helps regulatory agencies enforce noise ordinances, enables the development of noise abatement measures, and ensures noise levels comply with established standards and guidelines to form a balance between human activities and environmental protection while maintaining the quality of life for communities and preserving natural soundscapes.
Noise Monitoring assesses potential noise pollution by measuring sound levels utilizing:
Sound Level Meters (SLMs)
Noise Dosimeters
Permanent Noise Monitoring Stations
Microphones and Acoustic Sensors
Data Loggers and Recorders
Remote Telemetry Systems
Software and Analysis Tools
Environmental Noise Mapping Systems
Mobile Apps
Environmental noise monitoring encompasses the measurement and assessment of various types of noise that can have an impact on the environment and human well-being. The types of noise monitored for environmental purposes typically include:
Transportation Noise
Industrial Noise
Construction Noise
Recreational Noise
Community Noise
Natural Noise
Noise in Protected Natural Areas
Infrastructure and Development Noise
Occupational Noise
Noise from Special Events
