Basic Components of the Noise Monitoring System
The following list contains a brief summary of the most important components of our aircraft noise monitoring systems. Additional information can be found using the links on both sides of this page or in our Technical Brochures.
Noise monitoring terminals:
These are stationary measuring installations with weatherproof microphones and calibrated sound level meters. These encased devices allow for data capturing and storage, audio recording and individual parameterisation according to legal requirements.
Online frequency analysis:
This includes an optional online frequency analysis (third octave).
Central server:
Each measuring station can be connected to a central server by means of a telephone/data line or an internet connection. Optionally, meteorological devices can be added which allow weather data to be taken into account.
Noise monitoring server:
The server consists of a central computer where the complete data of all measuring stations is pooled. Noise data can be correlated here with any other information (e.g. shift plans, production data, traffic records, military manoeuvre data etc.), allowing for the allocation of sounds to their origin(ators).
Noise database:
The raw data and evaluated/calculated data are stored in a central database. Noises can also be stored here in sound files (e.g. MP3 or WAVE). All data is constantly kept available here and can be accessed at any time.
Noise monitoring software:
Our easy-to-use operating software offers a number of comprehensive functions for noise analysis. Some of these features are:
- Graphic and acoustic representation of individual noise events
- Creation of configurable statistical “leq” reports based on freely definable time periods (hour, day, month, year)
- Automatic notification whenever a pre-defined noise level is exceeded
- Online-monitoring of current noise levels at any monitoring station
- Live transmission of noise events
