Environmental 
Measurements

Because of its features, ruggedness and tolerance to environ-
mental extremes the System 824 is uniquely qualified for
environmental noise monitoring. 

Environmental Noise

Environmental noise impacts our quality of life. It can cause
annoyance, hearing loss, stress, and loss of sleep. The num-
ber of noise sources are increasing on a daily basis. For
those involved in measuring, analyzing, and processing of
environmental noise data the challenges are many. 

Types of Environmental Noise

Here are some common types of noise sources:

•

Road traffic 

- DOT planning studies

- Enforcement of vehicle noise limits

- Noise barriers

- Complaints of existing roadways

•

Aircraft noise

- Airport noise studies by consultants
