Boundary noise monitoring involves measuring and monitoring noise levels in the vicinity of a boundary, such as between different properties such as industrial and residential or near a construction site. It is done to ensure compliance with noise regulations and to assess the potential impact of noise on nearby residents or sensitive receptors.
Noise monitoring stations are be placed at different locations around the boundary to get a comprehensive understanding of noise levels. Continuous monitoring is often carried out over a specified period, typically 24 hours, to capture variations in noise levels throughout the day and night. The data collected can then be analysed to identify any breaches of noise limits or patterns of excessive noise. Continuous monitoring can be carried out over a long period of time and an alarm could be triggered when noise reaches the permissible limits.
Boundary noise monitoring is commonly used in construction projects, industrial areas, and entertainment venues where noise emissions can potentially affect neighbouring properties. By actively monitoring and managing noise levels, it allows for proactive measures to be taken to mitigate any noise issues and ensure compliance with noise regulations.
