Duration measurements are increasingly used to monitor noise levels. The goal is to measure it over a longer period of time. There are different reasons for this. Often, people are not constantly bothered by a certain sound source, but on a regular basis. This makes it more desirable to measure the sound over a certain period of time. This is possible by installing advanced measurement equipment. KGI is specialized in these types of noise researches and it results in the most reliable measurement results. These are desirable in order to be able to take steps, for example in the case of noise nuisance from neighbours.
With long-term measurements, we map in detail:
The noise level per minute, hour, or part of the day
The time of day at which the nuisance occurs
The duration and intensity of incidents
Frequency spectrum and dominant sources
Day, evening, and night values
The measurements are performed in accordance with applicable standards and regulations, using calibrated class 1 measuring equipment, suitable for enforcement and legal proceedings.
Afterward, you will receive a clear report with:
Graphs of noise level and time patterns
Analysis of peak times
Frequency analysis (if relevant)
Conclusions and advice
Possibly: recommendations for solutions or next steps
Long-term measurements are often used for:
Noise pollution between homes
Hospitality and events
Heat pumps, air conditioning, and ventilation
Industrial, traffic, and outdoor hospitality spaces
Legal disputes and enforcement
The purpose of the measurement is always the same:
to gather objective information that leads to a fair assessment and effective solution.
With our approach, you not only get measurement data, but also clear insights that help with decision-making, enforcement, or taking measures.
