Our experienced team offers assessment, monitoring, and reporting capabilities covering industrial, domestic, and commercial requirements.
Noise exposure can be an annoyance or worse, pose a health risk. While hearing loss is the most obvious outcome of noise exposure, research shows that high blood pressure, heart disease, and stress can also be a potential outcome. The widespread implications of noise exposure have resulted in the need for stricter guidelines to be met, monitored, and maintained.
Waveform Acoustics offers noise and vibration services for a variety of situations such as the operation of commercial or industrial equipment, manufacturing lines, concerts and sporting events. Noise and vibration services are also required for various public applications such as live music venues, gymnasiums, bars and restaurants among others. Measuring and monitoring noise levels are the only methods to ensure that levels conform to guidelines and do not present health risks.
Reliable and Accurate Noise Testing ResultsFor noise monitoring results to be accurate, precision measurement instruments must be used. As recognised specialists in the area of acoustics and noise reporting in Melbourne, the team at Waveform Acoustics uses precision equipment while conducting noise monitoring exercises. We have an extensive range of sound level meters and noise loggers that we use for specific applications and regularly calibrated to ensure accuracy. Our highly qualified acoustic consultants are highly qualified and had years of hands on experience across a broad range of complex issues. | |
Uses of Noise ReportsWaveform Acoustics conduct noise measurements on site, process data and prepare noise reports in Melbourne, regional Victoria and other states in Australia. We also offer noise and vibration services to customers in New Zealand and further afield. Our environmental and workplace noise testing reports contain results of noise measurement tests that may be compared to noise exposure levels specified by statutory codes and standards. The comprehensive noise reports provided by Waveform Acoustics may be presented to statutory authorities or used for making well-informed decisions about noise exposure. | |

Active Noise Monitoring
Active noise monitoring is a dynamic approach to measuring and controlling sound levels in real-time. It requires microphone systems which continuously log ambient noise for analysis, whilst being able to move around sites with a consultant. This specialised equipment constantly samples the surrounding soundscape, allowing instantaneous data analysis regarding sound source and levels.
The “active” aspect refers to the ability for us, as consultants, to react and adapt immediately to changes in the acoustic environment. Thus, when monitoring an event, immediate feedback and changes can be made if levels appear to be exceeding set limits.
This proactive approach is crucial in environments where noise compliance is strictly regulated, such as urban construction sites or events.
Long-Term Noise Monitoring
Long-term noise monitoring is a comprehensive process that involves the continuous measurement and assessment of acoustic levels over extended periods, ranging from several days to weeks or even months. This sustained approach to noise evaluation serves multiple critical purposes in various industries and urban planning contexts.The primary objective of long-term noise and vibration monitoring is to enable businesses and organizations to maintain ongoing compliance with regulatory standards. By implementing continuous monitoring protocols, entities can:
- Accurately track and document noise levels generated on-site
- Identify patterns or anomalies in acoustic emissions
- Proactively address potential issues before they escalate into regulatory violations
While long-term noise monitoring is instrumental in generating comprehensive reports for the development of sensitive facilities such as childcare centers, its applications extend far beyond this scope. In industrial settings, for instance, it plays a crucial role in:
- Assessing the acoustic impact of mechanical plants
- Evaluating the noise output of specific machinery, vehicles, and tools
- Informing decisions on equipment maintenance or replacement
- Supporting the development of noise mitigation strategies
By providing a wealth of data over time, long-term noise monitoring empowers organizations to make informed decisions, optimize their operations, and maintain harmonious relationships with surrounding communities while adhering to regulatory requirements.
