Construction noise monitoring involves the measurement and assessment of noise generated by construction activities. It is essential for evaluating and managing the potential impact of construction noise on nearby communities, workers, and the environment.

For construction sites, receiving real-time alerts when pre-set noise limits have been exceeded, or are close to being exceeded, can be an effective noise control process. As this information can be provided in real-time (either to staff on-site or to a remote office) it can enable site managers to investigate the source of the noise and to take quick, effective actions to remedy the issue. The MyCirrus Notification App provides real-time notifications and alerts, allowing for effective control of construction site noise levels.

For boundary noise monitoring, measurements when noise sources are not operating (over a weekend for example) can be critical in determining if there is significant impact when the site is in operation.

By using an environmental noise measurement kit, data can be gathered over extended periods when noise sources are and are not operating, allowing more robust assessments to be made.

Logging data over long periods before, during and after the construction of a wind farm can often be the only way to effectively judge the impact of operations and the environmental noise measurement kits can assist in this task.

The advanced triggers in the Optimus sound level meters can provide real-time alerts when overall levels or specific frequencies are exceeded as well as when tonal noise is detected.
