Noise

Noise measures the sound level in a space and provides

insight into how loud or quiet the environment is over time.

What is noise?

Noise is the measurement of sound levels in a space, typically expressed in A-weighted decibels (dBA), which reflect how the human ear perceives sound. In commercial buildings, common sources include conversations, meetings, equipment, HVAC systems and traffic from outside. Airthings sensors measure sound levels only and never record audio or conversations, so privacy is always protected. Measuring noise helps building, workplace and facility teams identify the loudest spaces and times, and see where acoustics or space use need improvement.

● THE WHY 

Why does noise matter?

Noise isn't just a distraction. It affects concentration, stress levels and wellbeing, and it plays a key role in how well people work and learn.

Co2 1

Improve focus and productivity


Frequent interruptions and constant background noise make it harder to concentrate, especially in open-plan offices. Monitoring noise levels helps you identify distracting areas and create quiet zones where employees can focus and do their best work.

Support learning in schools


Students need to hear clearly to learn, and the WHO recommends background noise in classrooms stays below 35 dBA. Noise from traffic, ventilation and busy hallways can easily exceed this, and monitoring helps schools find and fix noisy learning environments.

Design better spaces


Noise data reveals how spaces are actually used and which areas are too loud for their purpose. This helps you make informed decisions about layouts, acoustic improvements and room bookings, creating environments that balance collaboration with quiet work.

Noise over time

Track sound levels across rooms and buildings without recording any audio. See when and where spaces get loud and follow patterns throughout the day, so your team can create quiet zones, improve acoustics and support focus in offices and classrooms.
