Webinar : A Revolutionary Way To Measure Noise And Take Corrective Measures For Your City And Enterprise

Date: 8 December at 4PM CET/10AM ET

In this webinar, experts on noise and decision makers explain the importance of measuring noise correctly and why choosing the right solution and technology to do so can save time, efforts and costs while ensuring precise measurements that lead to valuable actionable data.

And if noise could pollute?
Noise is increasingly a major source of environmental nuisance and a hazard to human health and welfare. The Directive 2002/49/EC published by the European Commission aims to provide a common basis for tackling noise problems across the EU. Strategic noise maps are required for route traffic, airports and industries.

Measuring noise
Cities and Industry have an obligation toward citizens to maintain healthy and comfortable living conditions, but also aim to comply to local or national regulations. Measuring noise and taking the right corrective measures therefore has become increasingly important.
