Posted on: June 30, 2010

We have invested in the latest in-ear microphone technology to simplify noise assessments on personnel who wear helmets or other protective equipment that makes conventional noise assessment difficult. It can also be used to assess noise levels inside PPE to evaluate operator exposure against the Exposure Limit Value (ELV) of 87dB(A).

Data center noise control - lack of diagnosis costs $millions

Posted on: Dec. 7, 2023

A new data center near Williston generates a host of noise complaints. No-one diagnoses the cause of the noise complaints (hum). Instead, there is a guess as to the solution. A guess that wastes $millions on a truly massive and ineffective noise wall that has zero effect on complaints. Our analysis of the news broadcast soundtrack proved that the wall could not work. 2 minutes of diagnosis would have saved $millions... It's very easy to avoid this common problem.
