Sound Level Measurement

Noise at the workplace can impair concentration and cause long-term damage.

In addition to a measurement of reverberation time, a sound level measurement is especially important for offices, industrial facilities, and events. It concerns both occupational safety and general protection against hearing damage.

If you are interested in a sound level measurement, please send us an inquiry at akustik@hofa.de

How the measurement is done

As part of a sound level measurement, an experienced acoustician executes the measurement on site according to the VDI guideline 3760. We also offer measurements for events according to DIN 15905-5.

After that we can plan acoustical measures in order to reduce the noise according to the “TRLV Lärm”  and the “Lärm- und Vibrations-Arbeitsschutzverordnung (LärmVibrationsArbSchV)”.

Please note that no vibration measurements are done during these assessments.
