Ambient Noise Indicators
Noise in the work-place as well as in the community can be unpleasant and potentially hazardous to the health, welfare and comfort of those affected. A simple and inexpensive solution is to display the ambient noise level using a Sound-Ear. A discreet yet effective tool to indicate the level of noise being experienced. Applications include:
- Schools - ensure class-rooms do not become disruptively loud
- Libraries - protect patrons from the distraction of noisy conversation
- Nursing homes - encourage a peaceful and relaxing environment
- Offices & Work-places - assist in managing occupational noise issues (see also Occupational Noise & Vibration)
The SoundEar range is specially designed to:
- Alert - in situations where the noise level can become uncomfortable, for example more than 60dB in offices
- Educate - adults as well as children, to keep the noise level down e.g. in schools and hospital wards
- Warn - in situations where the the noise level can become detrimental, for example more than 85dB in workplaces
