Resident self-management can pose setup and handling challenges without user-friendly systems.
Devices may need to be deployed for extended periods, requiring robust reliability and data storage.
Consumer-grade apps and devices often lack accuracy and clarity, making recordings unreliable for formal investigation or court use.

Advantages

High-precision Class 1 microphones, legally admissible data, crystal-clear recordings, even at low noise levels
Resident-operated with a simple hand switch, allowing easy capture of events without needing constant supervision.
Audio recordings paired with graphical data offer powerful analysis tools, including frequency content and impulsivity

"In 2021, a total of 356,367 noise complaints were recorded by 144 local authorities, that's an average of 149 complaints for every 10,000 people. Deploying simple, easy-to-use reporting equipment is critical to tackling this issue effectively."

Noise Nuisance: A Growing Concern

Noise nuisance isn’t just a neighbourhood issue. With properties built near railways, roads, industrial sites, and utility stations, the potential for noise complaints is increasing. To effectively assess and manage noise impact, suitable noise prediction software can be used during the planning stage of the project to ensure sensitive receptors are identified and mitigation but it place.
