How to Conduct Effective Noise Monitoring and Control
Monitoring and controlling noise are closely linked, with monitoring providing the means and control serving as the goal. Relying solely on monitoring has limited impact on improving acoustic environments. As an example, one of our customers discovered that conventional monitoring equipment alone was inadequate for pinpointing the noise source. The tendency for nearby noise sources to evade detection hampered effective control measures. The customer needed a solution for tracing noise sources, requiring detailed information on noise exceedance events to identify and manage the source and type of noise effectively. To address this, we created a targeted solution by incorporating noise localization devices and pan-tilt cameras. This enhanced monitoring platform combines directional data with video footage, providing a comprehensive view of noise exceedance incidents. The noise localization devices accurately locate the noise in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. Through further processing, they associate the intensity and spatial distribution of the noise over time. This enables the relevant personnel to trace the noise at key historical time periods and its corresponding directional information, significantly improving work efficiency. In addition, the cameras and tracing devices are interconnected. When noise exceeds the limits, the cameras can perform corresponding actions to track the noise source based on the directional information provided by the localization devices, while preserving relevant video recordings.
