Noise Level Monitoring
  • Review project specifications, nearby receptors, and regulatory limits

  • Select monitoring locations for noise-sensitive areas

  • Install calibrated sound level meters at recommended heights

  • Establish baseline ambient noise levels before construction

  • Configure measurement parameters (LAeq, Lmax, Lmin, time intervals)

  • Conduct continuous or periodic noise monitoring during operations

  • Record noise levels and compare against regulatory limits

  • Analyze temporal trends, identify noise spikes, and potential sources

  • Recommend mitigation strategies for excessive noise

  • Prepare detailed monitoring report with graphs, tables, and interpretations

Noise Level Monitoring is conducted to ensure construction or operational activities comply with environmental regulations. Excessive noise can disturb local communities, wildlife, or sensitive industrial processes, and may lead to legal or social issues.

Calibrated sound meters measure noise over time at critical locations. Both ambient background and operational noise levels are recorded. By analyzing time-of-day variations and peak events, engineers can identify operations responsible for exceeding limits.

A comprehensive report provides data, graphs, and recommendations to reduce noise levels, such as scheduling noisy operations at appropriate times or installing sound barriers. Noise monitoring ensures regulatory compliance, protects the environment, and enhances community relations.
