Introducing the New NoiseTools: Faster, Smarter and More Powerful Than Ever

We’re excited to announce the latest and most advanced version of NoiseTools, designed to give safety professionals and noise specialists an easier, faster and more intuitive way to manage, analyse and report noise data.  

Packed with performance upgrades, a refined user experience and new analysis tools, this update makes NoiseTools more responsive, more reliable and even better suited for the modern workplace and environmental noise assessments.  

The new version comes with a fully updated user interface, including brand new Light and Dark themes for a more comfortable viewing experience. We’ve also updated the software to the latest .NET framework, improving speed, compatibility and long-term stability.  

NoiseTools is now faster across the board: 

• Major improvements to database and audio storage performance 

• Audio now stored in high-quality FLAC format 

• Faster periodic calculator for smoother reporting 

• Improved time history graph rendering  

• Optimised import process for doseBadge Reader and dBLink files 

These enhancements ensure software remains responsive, even when working with large datasets or long-term measurements. 

Audio playback is now far more powerful, with new features including: 

• Playback speed control and quick skip ahead 

• Markers added to groups and improved marker handling 

• Create markers directly from audio playback 

• Better handling of time history data, including an option to shift time history on comparison graphs 

Whether you’re reviewing measurements or validating noise events, these upgrades give you far more control and clarity. 

We’ve made it easier than ever to work with your measurement data: 

• Directly loading Quantum measurements from MyCirrus – no need for manual downloads 

• Ability to open MTP files directly, removing the need for full import 

• Improved time zone support – all data stored in UTC, displayed in local time 

• Updated installer designed to give IT departments more flexibility 

This release introduces a brand-new HML and SNR calculator, making it easier to select appropriate hearing protection based on real measurement data.  

We’ve also made several improvements across key modules: 

• Reverberation Time 

• Octave Band Ln 

• ISO 9612 

These refinements ensure greater accuracy, smoother workflows, and better compliance with international standards.
