Noise level monitoring

There are so many different sources of noise that can constitute a problem.

Noise level monitoring is relevant to domestic and industrial clients.  For those who may believe that noise is excessive, noise surveys can prove or disprove the case. Noise issues vary from industrial factory noise emissions to railway stations, pubs, clubs and restaurants.

Correct Identification for Noise Monitoring

It is necessary that tests are carried out to identify which noise survey is required and which standards apply to the levels of the noise emitted.

Tests should be carried out by qualified personnel, with expert witness reports provided to prove the sound levels are genuine.

For instance, noise from industrial units falls under the remit of BS4142 (rating of industrial noise) and can be caused by daily operation of the business or external machinery or traffic.

For housebuilders, PPG24 (site development suitability) is necessary to check the levels of noise that could affect a proposal to build new houses on a site.
