FAQ

What is the difference between a sound level meter and a noise dosimeter?

A sound level meter measures sound pressure levels in decibels and provides instant feedback, which is ideal for short-term noise monitoring. A noise dosimeter is a personal device worn to monitor individual noise exposure over time, considering both the intensity and duration of noise.

Which industries in Australia have regulations that require noise monitoring?

In Australia, regulations mandate noise monitoring in industries like construction, mining, and manufacturing. Other industries – such as ports, waste management plants, data and other operational facilities – also have noise monitoring requirements based on their work teams and the impact of noise on local communities. These sectors require stringent monitoring to ensure workers aren’t exposed to harmful noise levels. SiteHive helps you manage noise effectively, ensuring compliance and protecting workers across various industry sectors, adhering to noise monitoring regulations.

What is a noise survey?

A noise survey assesses noise levels in environments like workplaces or communities. Using noise monitoring equipment, professionals measure sound pressure at various locations and times. The data includes average and peak noise levels, as well as areas where the noise exceeds recommended exposure limits.

What are the methods of noise monitoring?

There are several methods that can be used for monitoring noise, depending on the situation and the information required. These include:
• Sound Level Meters (SLMs): These devices measure the sound pressure level in decibels (dB). They are commonly used for spot measurements and can be either hand-held or fixed in place.
• Integrated Sound Level Meters (ISLMs): These are advanced versions of SLMs that can measure and record sound levels over a period, providing an integrated average level.
• Real-time noise monitoring: This involves the continuous measurement and analysis of noise levels using advanced sensors and monitoring systems.
• Octave Band Analysis: This method breaks down the noise into its frequency components, which helps in identifying specific sources of noise and their characteristics.
• Noise Mapping: This involves creating visual representations of noise levels across a geographic area, often used in urban planning and environmental impact assessments.
• Long-Term Noise Monitoring: This method involves setting up monitoring stations to continuously measure noise levels over extended periods, providing data on trends and patterns.
• Impulse Noise Monitoring: This focuses on capturing short-duration, high-intensity noise events, which are common in industrial and construction environments.
• Noise Dosimeters: These are personal devices worn by individuals to measure their exposure to noise over time, often used in occupational settings.
• Remote sensing: Noise sensors are placed at various locations to monitor noise remotely.

What is real-time noise monitoring?

Real-time noise monitoring involves the continuous measurement and analysis of noise levels using advanced sensors and monitoring systems. This method provides immediate data on sound levels, allowing for proactive management and mitigation of noise pollution.

What is environmental noise monitoring?

Environmental noise monitoring involves the long-term measurement and analysis of noise levels in a specific area, often for the purpose of assessing noise pollution. The data collected can then be used to assess the impact of the noise on people (including work teams, local residents and visitors), wildlife, and the environment in general.
