Which Meter for Noise at Work?

The type of sound level meter or noise dosemeter that you should use is defined by the noise at work regulations and by the HSE

According to the Physical Agents (Noise) Directive 2003/10/EC and the HSE's Controlling Noise at Work guidelines, the equipment should meet the following specification:

• Class 2 or Type 2 to the sound level meter standards
• Integrating sound level meter
• Measure the LAeq and LCPeak
• Include a Sound Level Calibrator
• Calibrated within the last 24 months

These are the minimum specifications that the equipment should meet for most noise surveys. If you have particularly high noise levels (much greater than 90 dBA) then you will need a more advanced meter that can help assess the performance of hearing protectors.

Note that the Noise Warning Signs are indicators, not sound level meters, and are not intended for noise survey use.
