The Daily Impact of Noise
We are surrounded by noise. But noise is more than just a daily occurrence; it impacts our health, safety, and overall well-being.
Excessive noise can lead to stress, hearing damage, and other issues. As awareness of noise pollution grows, many businesses are now integrating noise control and following standards as a must when developing new innovations. And so, governments and local authorities are strengthening regulations, and HR professionals are taking steps to enhance workplace well-being.
Noise is Everywhere
– But Do You Know How Loud It Really is?
Noise surrounds us in every environment, but its intensity varies widely. The difference sound pressure level between a quiet office, a bustling city street, or an aircraft take-off can have significant consequences.
Explore some real cases across different environments and industries on how to measure and manage noise effectively.
SPL 194dB – Rocket Launch Testing
Scientists and space agencies conduct tests and measurements of the sound power of rocket launches to assess the impact of a rocket launch and landing on the surrounding environment. It is crucial to evaluate the effects on rocket propulsion on nearby cities, ecosystems, and even the spacecraft itself.

SPL 130dB – Advancing Hearing Protection
Excessive noise exposure is a major concern for industries such as aviation, construction, urban infrastructure, and the military. Workers in high-noise environments, such as military personnel, face daily risks of hearing damage. Advanced noise measurement technology helps provide better protection against harmful sound levels, ensuring compliance with strict safety standards. These high standards often set a benchmark for other industries looking to improve hearing protection. Learn more from the case study: “New Standards in Hearing Protection with the U.S. Navy” HERE >

SPL 80-90dB – Transportation Sound Emission
Modern transportation must address noise emissions due to their impact on communities, the environment, and passenger comfort. Aircraft take-offs and landings, as well as high-speed rail perations, generate significant noise. Ensuring compliance with standards such as ISO 3095 and ISO 3381, as well as government regulations, is important to minimizing environmental impact and enhancing passenger comfort. This is exemplified by Banedanmark, which demonstrates how advanced noise monitoring solutions help rail operators assess track conditions, reduce excessive
noise, and improve the overall travel experience. Read the article HERE >
SPL 40dB – Household Appliances for Quieter Homes
In daily life at home, people are constantly exposed to different noises from white goods and electronic devices. Multiple studies have proven the negative impact of constant noise on life quality. As consumers increasingly demand quieter home environments, manufacturers of household appliances must balance performance with noise reduction. Learn more about it here >
