Is Your Workplace as Loud as a 200-Member Marching Band?

Larson Davis’ Noise Dosimeters are typically used in industrial environments and other workplaces, but where else can noise be dangerous? We’ve all seen a marching band, whether in a parade or at a high school football game. Our team was curious: are the members of the band at risk of hearing loss due to noise exposure? A local high school band director was game to help us find out! In the process, we learned a lot about the practical deployment of our Spartan Noise Dosimeter.

Tip of the Quarter

Do you know how easy it is to field calibrate the Spartan Noise Dosimeter Model 730? When a calibrator is placed over the microphone and turned on, the meter recognizes the steady 1 kHz, 114 dB signal and begins calibration automatically. One click accepts the results and you’re ready to begin your measurement.

Need to do a post-survey calibration? Repeat the procedure at the end of your test and see both the as-found and as-left data on your report.
