Noise Complaints
Complaints about noise from local residents can often be dealt
with by ensuring that music is kept below a given level. This
can be difficult to judge as the evening wears on and the levels
tend to increase (it's the DJ steadily going deaf).
The NoiseSign should be positioned so that the DJ or live
band can see instantly when the levels are too high and react
accordingly.
Using the NoiseSign takes away an individual's perception
of the noise levels and the associated difficulties in controlling
the sound output.

of High Noise Outside. |

Worker Hearing Protection
Since April 2008, workers in the music and entertainment sectors
are covered by the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005.
This involves assessing the noise levels and reducing the noise
at source where possible - sometimes rather difficult in this
particular industry.
The NoiseSign can help by informing staff when the noise levels
are getting high, giving the opportunity work in a quieter
location (staff rotation) or to wear hearing protection.
The NoiseSign can be mounted within the bar area, or in other
potentially noisy locations, where it will give an immediate
and clear warning of excessive noise levels. |
Remote Display Signs
 Although
it is most important that the person controlling the music
knows when the levels are too high, it can also be useful to
have remote displays in areas such as the bar or the office,
so that the management can take action too.
The remote display NSR-WARN can be used for
this purpose. |

Monitoring Compliance
 The NS-LOGG data
logging unit can be added to the NoiseSign (either at the time
of purchase or at a later date). It regularly samples the noise
levels and the results can be downloaded to a computer for
analysis and reporting.
This is ideal to show compliance to the noise limits that
have been set. |
