Noise Warning - Entertainment Venues

• Pub, club, disco and nightclub noise monitoring
• Tackle noise complaints from local residents
• Protect staff from dangerous noise levels
• Inform DJ or live band if noise levels are too high

Music from pubs, clubs, discos and even restaurants and hotels can cause problems for local residents and be at dangerous levels for staff. The NoiseSign Noise Warning Sign is a solution to keeping control of the sound levels and monitoring the effectiveness of controls.

Whether your problem is with noise complaints or hearing protection issues (or both), the NoiseSign should be able to help.

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.

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.
