Why calibrate?
We calibrate measurement instruments to verify the accuracy of the measurements devices and evaluate the validity of the measurement results.
How we calibrate
When you send instruments to Norsonic for calibration, you can be confident that we will take good care of your equipment, handling it carefully and with respect.
Environmental noise
Environmental noise
Norsonic, a reliable and experienced partner in environmental noise monitoring.
With the NorCloud web portal and associated hardware, Norsonic sets new standards for monitoring tasks. It couldn’t get any easier: after switching on, the measuring station automatically logs into NorCloud with its ID via the internal 4G modem. All settings are made conveniently via the web portal – from any PC/tablet/smartphone. Thanks to flexible report templates, monitoring and documentation is completely automated supporting several output formats.
The NorCloud system can be configured to support simple dBA noise monitoring tasks to high demanding project measuring with Noise compass and live view with minimum latency. Measurement data can be downloaded to your local PC, streamed to a webpage, copied to a file server, or kept in NorCloud. NorCloud also handles alarms and triggers with forwarding to the user by SMS or email. Both continuous and triggered audio recording with picture taken by an external IP camera is possible.
The calibratable measurement chain is based on Nor1545 noise monitoring terminal. This is a scalable system that can be tailored to your need. Permanent running on mains or solar power driven or temporary on battery.
With the optional NoiseCompass for direction detection, sound sources are also automatically located, categorized, and evaluated. It enables you to calculate the sound emission from one sector only, less time spent on listening to audio recordings and reporting.
For system integrators and volume customers with special custom needs, the Nor1545 / Nor145 also support communication via an application programming interface (API).
Data is safely hosed on Microsoft AzureTM servers located on datacenters in North Europe.

Room Acoustics
Room Acoustics
The field of building acoustics consists of two parts; Room Acoustics which deals with sound propagation in a room and Building Acoustics, which deals with sound propagation between rooms.
Typically, room acoustics is related to the quality of sound, e.g., concert hall acoustics, while building acoustics is more related to unwanted sound, i.e. when you want to hear as little as possible of what is going on in adjacent rooms.
Norsonic has a wide range of systems for the field of Building acoustics and room acoustics.

Sound Intensity
Sound Intensity
Sound Intensity is the preferred method to accurately measure sound power when you have a difficult acoustic test environment such as a high background noise or if equipment is in a poor acoustic test room.
The method is therefore also perfect for in situ measurement, on the whole or just a part of the equipment. Even when the equipment consists of many noise radiating sources, this method can be used on each singular component as a steady background noise makes no contribution to the sound power determined when measuring intensity. As sound intensity gives a measure of direction as well as magnitude it is also very useful when locating sources of sound, as for examples finding sound leakages or as a tool in your R&D department.

Sound Power
Sound Power
Sound power describes how much acoustic energy a source emits per unit of time and is measured in watts (W). To make it easier to compare sources, the sound power level is often used – a logarithmic value that highlights the differences between products.
What is special about sound power is that it is independent of the surroundings. EU Directive 2000/14/EC requires that many noise-generating products (e.g. washing machines, power tools, and construction machinery) sold within the EU must carry a specific noise label. This labeling makes it easy for users and customers to compare noise levels between machines and equipment.
Sound power also plays an important role in the planning and design of industrial buildings and production environments. It can be determined either by measuring the sound pressure around the object (ISO 374X or 546) or by using sound intensity measurements (ISO 9614).
Sound power provides a neutral and reliable measure of how much sound a source actually emits.

Noise at Work
Noise at Work
Noise at work can harm people’s hearing and create health and safety risks. Employers have a legal duty to protect their employees’ hearing. You may have a noise problem in your workplace if people need to shout or struggle to be heard clearly from about 2 meters away.
Noise doesn’t just cause hearing loss and tinnitus—it can also create stress and interfere with communication, which increases safety risks. The EU Directive 2003/10/EC has lowered the previously accepted noise limits at work, meaning employers must take steps to reduce the harmful effects of noise exposure. The first step is to carry out regular noise assessments.
Norsonic provides a wide range of measurement solutions and reporting software for this purpose. One key area is occupational noise measurement, which focuses on assessing overall noise levels and workers’ exposure to noise. These measurements are done at the employee’s actual workplace—whether in the near field or elsewhere—to ensure reliable results.
When planning noise reduction, it’s also important to consider other machines and reflective surfaces. In some cases, one ear may be exposed to more noise than the other. If so, measurements should be taken at the ear with the highest level—or at both—but never averaged, since the goal is to assess potential hearing damage as accurately as possible.
Norsonic offers a broad selection of products designed to measure workplace noise effectively.
