Precision sound and vibration instruments for sound level monitoring, environmental noise analysis, and real time noise and frequency level analysis

Noise, sound, and vibration often occur together in the workplace and industry. Each of these environmental elements can cause harmful and costly damage if not controlled. Sensidyne offers Svantek professional instruments for sound & vibration measurements and analysis.

Noise Measurement

Excessive noise is unwanted sound which may damage a person's hearing. Noise in the workplace is a major contributor of noise-induced hearing loss. Noise can also create stress, and can be a safety hazard at work, interfering with communication, acting as a distraction and making warning difficult to hear. Reducing noise levels at the source provides the most effective way of protecting workers' hearing while providing numerous other workplace benefits.

Vibration Measurement

Vibration hazards are commonly found in noisy environments, associated with power-driven equipment and can cause constriction of blood vessels which results in restricted blood flow to parts of the body. Vibration injury is thought to be irreversible.

Vibration is typically divided into two forms; whole body vibration and hand-arm vibration. Whole body vibration effects heavy equipment operators and truck drivers. Hand-arm vibration effects jack hammer operators and users of hand held equipment such as trimmers, saws, and drills.
