Importance of Environmental and Occupational Noise Monitoring
Noise monitoring is an essential tool for assessing exposure to harmful or disturbing noise, both in occupational environments and in public spaces. These tests are designed to protect human health, improve quality of life, and ensure compliance with national and international regulations.
Key aspects include:
- Health and Safety – Prolonged noise exposure can cause irreversible hearing damage and affect overall well-being.
- Productivity – Excessive noise can reduce concentration and efficiency in workplaces.
- Quality of Life – Continuous environmental noise can lead to stress, sleep disturbances, and reduced comfort.
- Regulatory Compliance – Regular monitoring ensures adherence to noise control standards and legal requirements.
Monitoring and Testing Process
