Applications for the Outdoor Environmental Noise Measurement Kit

The Outdoor Environmental Noise Kit provides a robust, reliable solution for medium and long-term measurements in any environment.

The environmental noise measurement kits provide weather protection for the sound level meter and the microphone, allowing for noise measurements over long periods where the equipment is unattended and making it ideal for environmental noise monitoring. This allows effective, accurate noise measurements to be made where it’s not possible to have staff on-site with the equipment at all times.

Robust and secure case protects the Optimus Sound Level Meter
Carry out noise monitoring even when you can't be on site
Calibrated, accurate measurement data lets you make more effective decisions
Download information into NoiseTools directly or remotely, giving you access to your data when you need it

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.

Configure triggers in the Optimus+ Environmental to match site noise limits
Stay informed as noise levels approach those limits by utilising triggers and notifications
Receive real-time alerts through MyCirrus direct to the Notifications App on your phone or tablet

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.

Measure noise levels over long periods to cover both on and off conditions for the noise sources under investigation without having to be with the equipment
Gather accurate, informative noise data regardless of the weather conditions or the environment that the equipment needs to be left in
Configure triggers in the Optimus+ Environmental Sound Level Meter to activate when known noise sources are active, whether you're on site or not
Receive real-time notifications when triggers are activated and store high-resolution audio recordings, allowing you to determine the source and type of noise being measured
Quickly identify and highlight noise sources in the NoiseTools software to determine if penalties should be applied, creating reports and exporting data for analysis in other software packages

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.

Use the power of the Optimus+ Environmental Sound Level Meters to log detailed noise data over long periods of time
Make measurements over long periods by adding external power to the kits from a battery, mains or solar power
Use the advanced triggers in the Optimus+ Environmental to detect tonal or frequency-based noise sources
Send real-time alerts & notifications to the MyCirrus App when triggers are activated
Download measurement data without having to visit the equipment using the modem, MyCirrus and the NoiseTools software

The Outdoor Environmental Noise Kit is a weather-protected measurement system that houses a Cirrus Optimus+ Environmental Sound Level Meter for reliable outdoor noise monitoring in harsh environmental conditions such as rain, wind or dust. It allows unattended noise measurements over extended periods.

The kit typically includes:

  • Weatherproof case and outdoor microphone to protect the instrument

  • Choice of batteries or mains power supply for extended deployment

  • Option to include a modem and GPS for remote connectivity

  • Optimus+ Environmental Sound Level Meter (Class 1 or Class 2, selectable)

You can either add your own Optimus+ Environmental Sound Level Meter or choose one as part of the kit purchase in your required class (Class 1 or Class 2).

With an Optimus+ meter installed, the kit can measure typical environmental noise parameters such as LAeq, Ln, LMax and LMin and also supports audio recording based on custom triggers.

  • Standard Outdoor Kit – protects the meter and captures noise data onsite with long battery life.

  • Outdoor Kit with Remote Access – includes a modem and GPS, enabling remote data download with location stamping and real-time alerting via MyCirrus cloud services.

The kit supports up to around 12 days of battery life (depending on battery choice and settings) and can also be powered by a weatherproof external mains option for longer deployments.

Data can be downloaded either by physically accessing the instrument or, with the Remote Access version, remotely via MyCirrus cloud services and GPS location tagging for easy tracking of measurements.

The Outdoor Environmental Noise Kit is ideal for:

  • Unattended environmental noise monitoring

  • Construction site noise assessments

  • Boundary noise investigations

  • Wind farm and long-term environmental assessments
    allowing data collection without having staff present continuously.

Yes, by using the acoustic trigger features of the Optimus+ meter, the system can automatically record audio when user-defined conditions are met, aiding in source identification.
