What is the SoundSign?
The SoundSign is a highly visible noise activated warning sign that has been designed for use in environments where there is a need to clearly warn or indicate when a preset noise level is reached.
When the ambient noise level exceeds the preset level, the SoundSign will illuminate, clearly showing the graphics and text.
In addition to the traditional Noise at Work style sign, the Sound Sign is also available with a range of other graphics and text which allows it to be used in environments where the noise levels may not reach those where hearing protection is required, but where there is still a need to warn or indicate excessive sound levels.
