What is Impact of Noise Level Measurement on Product Development?

Noise level measurement involves assessing the acoustical properties of a product to determine its potential impact on human hearing. This laboratory service is essential for companies that manufacture or develop products with sound-emitting components, such as audio equipment, power tools, and even some medical devices. By accurately measuring noise levels, manufacturers can identify areas for improvement, reducing the risk of regulatory non-compliance and ensuring consumer safety.

Why is Noise Level Measurement Essential for Businesses?

In a recent study, it was found that 75 of consumers consider product noise when making purchasing decisions. Moreover, regulatory bodies such as OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and EUs Machinery Directive set strict limits on noise emissions from machinery and equipment.
