TYPES OF NOISE MONITORING DEVICES FOR RENT: SOUND LEVEL METERS & NOISE DOSIMETERS
RAECO Rents offers two types of data logging instruments that assess noise, (1) the area sound level meter (SLM), which measures the intensity of sound at a precise moment and location and (2) the personal noise dosimeter, which stores decibel (dB) sound level measurements calculating a time-weighted average (TWA).
Sound level meters are designed for area measurement, giving you the ability to map sound levels in different areas of a workplace. Our SKC NoiseCHEK and TSI Quest Edge 5 noise dosimeters provide personal exposure data with the following popular meters standardly activated: OSHA PEL, OSHA HC, and ACGIH TLV. Together, these measures establish any need for personal hearing protection equipment and/or the permissible period an employee can safely work in a specific area.
Your sound level meter and personal noise dosimeter rental order includes a calibrator and PC software at no additional charge. Do restrictive internal IT policies prohibit you from downloading PC software to your network? Please ask us about adding a rental PC laptop computer configured with the applicable software to your rental order!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT NOISE MONITORING DEVICES & EQUIPMENT RENTALS
What is workplace noise monitoring?
A workplace area or personal noise survey measures sound levels gathering data to aid in the protection of workers from permanent hearing damage while complying with both state and federal safety regulations.
Which industries use noise monitoring equipment?
Manufacturing, construction, and transportation are notable examples of those who rely on noise monitoring to ensure regulatory compliance protect workers from the negative implications of excessive noise exposure.
When should I use a sound level meter instead of a noise dosimeter?
Due to its design, a sound level meter is best suited for assessing area noise levels in specific locations.
RAECO Rents offers both Type 1 (+/- 1 dB accuracy) and Type 2 (+/- 2 dB accuracy) microphone types with and without 1/1 and 1/3 octave band filters. The popular TSI Quest SoundPro SLM meets ANSI S1.4 (R2006), ANSI S1.43 (R2007), and ANSI S1.11 (R2009) performance requirements. We also offer sturdy SLM kits for your outdoor noise applications as well!
When should I use a noise dosimeter instead of a sound level meter?
Due to its small size, microphone orientation, and software capabilities, a noise dosimeter is ideal for measuring an individual worker’s noise exposure over an entire work shift.
How does noise monitoring equipment work?
Sound level meters and noise dosimeters capture sound intensity in decibels (dB), with noise dosimeters especially recording noise exposure over time to determine TWA exposure levels.
Does RAECO Rents offer intrinsically safe devices?
Yes, the TSI Quest Sound Examiner type 1 microphone SLM we offer is intrinsically safe rated but will not offer TWA calculating capability. Our SKC NoiseCHEK, TSI Quest Edge 5, and Casella dBadge2 IS personal noise dosimeters are also rated intrinsically safe.
What is an example of noise monitoring?
Using a personal noise dosimeter on an assembly line worker to measure average noise exposure throughout their shift is a typical application.
Who regulates workplace noise in the US?
Workplace noise levels are regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA sets the permissible exposure limit (PEL). Our noise dosimeters also have the more stringent American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) meter to measure the Threshold Limit Value (TLV).
How much does it cost to rent noise monitoring equipment?
RAECO Rents noise monitoring equipment rental rates start as low as $70 per day.
