Investigation of time-consuming, intermittent, neighbour noise problems Standard briefcase is used to transport and install the monitoring system Same briefcase [now empty] is taken from the house to avoid arousing suspicions from interested observers. Complainant starts and stops high quality audio recording with simple hand-switch Locked instrumentation enclosure to prevents interference Description
The standard briefcase contains a second lockable matron case, which is the real noise monitoring system. This means that you arrive and leave with the same case, avoiding the neighbours suspecting anything.
The inner case contains the noise monitoring system - a logging Class 1 sound level meter complete with audio recording to memory card.
A extension cable is provided for remote positioning of the tripod-mounted microphone and a simple hand-switch allows the complainant to start and stop the audio recording process. A clear indicator on the hand-switch lights to confirm that recording is in progress.
The system is calibrated and, if required, the operator can choose to set the pre-trigger audio recording time, timed audio recordings and post-trigger audio recordings. The case is then locked to prevent any interference with the calibrated instrumentation.
The logging sound level meter can be set to automatically store A-weighted noise analysis parameters and (optionally) frequency analyses at regular time intervals.
The sound level meter records synchronised time and date information along with the noise results and the audio recordings so that comparisons of results may be made before, during and after the complainant-activated recordings.
