The noise levels in cities have been increasing year over year, and these increases could, within a few decades, lead to an environment so noisy as to have a harmful effect on the health of residents and to a reduction in their quality of life. For this reason, the level of acoustic pollution caused by equipment is an important factor to be considered. The ‘noise’ level of equipment can also provide a competitive advantage to one producer over another.
Measuring acoustic pollution
On a European Union level, a directive on noise can be expected, which will set limits to the amount of noise generated by various products and equipment. Eurovent, aware of this situation, decided very early on to introduce sound power as a certified characteristic, which is published in its Directory of Certified Products.
