Environmental noise is unwanted sound and vibration from a plethora of sources, among them industrial plants, road and rail traffic, construction work, and aircraft.
Add to these sports events, shooting ranges, leisure parks, etc, and you have noise from many different sources, each with different characteristics and posing specific problems for the professionals who have to assess them. The way the problems are dealt with differs immensely from country to country and is very much dependent on culture, economy and politics. We offer solutions to cover all demands from level checks to in-depth analysis, from measurement or prediction, to post-processing and reporting.
The tasks involved in managing environmental noise in, for example, cities are many and varied - from solving noise complaints to noise mapping, from policing noise limits to noise abatement and zoning. Reports must be made and the public kept informed, and all data, results, reports, analyses, etc. must be safely and intuitively archived for easy retrieval. In addition, there are a wide variety of noises from different sources such as industry, transportation and many different forms for recreational activities.
A wide range of tools are available to help in the various tasks involved in managing environmental noise, from simple sound level meters to permanent noise monitoring stations, from post-processing software to calculation software, from advanced analysis tools such as sound intensity or narrow-band analysis to central noise monitoring software.
