Noise & Vibration Monitoring
Noise monitoring instruments include sound level meters and noise dosimeters used for workplace noise control and environmental noise monitoring. Sound level meters range from simple devices for applications such as fire alarm testing to more advanced units for measuring occupational and environmental noise levels.
Instantel products comprise a range of vibration, noise, and air overpressure monitoring equipment used across industries such as mining, construction, and geotechnical engineering. They support safety and compliance during activities such as blasting and demolition.
Sound Level Meter Selection Guide
1
For workplace and environmental noise assessment, the minimum requirement is a sound level meter with Leq (time-averaged measurement) for reliable noise measurement, which is not available in low-cost entry-level instruments.
2
A sound calibrator is required to ensure measurement accuracy before and after each use. It is used to perform pre-calibration and post-calibration of the sound level meter, confirming that the instrument is operating correctly and that all measurements remain reliable and traceable.
3
Class 1 meters provide high-precision measurements for environmental and regulatory use, while Class 2 is suitable for general applications.
4
Frequency analysis options include 1/1 octave for basic profiling and 1/3 octave for detailed analysis. It is therefore important to determine whether frequency analysis is required and, if so, which option is needed.
5
Environmental monitoring typically also requires long-term logging and statistical indicators such as LN% (percentile levels). It is also important to determine whether long-term measurement is required, and whether remote access (modem) and a suitable power source (mains, battery, or solar) are needed.
