Ambient Noise Levels Testing – METS Laboratories
At METS Laboratories, we are committed to helping industries, institutions, and communities ensure a safer and healthier environment through precise and reliable Ambient Noise Levels Testing. In today’s fast-paced and mechanized world, noise pollution is not just a nuisance — it’s a public health concern. Our state-of-the-art testing capabilities allow clients to understand, evaluate, and manage environmental sound levels with accuracy and integrity. Whether for regulatory compliance, public safety, or workplace comfort, we provide the technical excellence and trusted data you need.
Why Ambient Noise Levels Testing Is Important?
Sound is a part of daily life — but excessive, persistent, or high-frequency noise can be harmful to human health, wildlife, and ecosystems. Prolonged exposure to elevated noise levels is linked to hearing impairment, cardiovascular diseases, stress, sleep disturbance, and decreased productivity. That’s why monitoring and managing ambient noise is more than a regulatory requirement — it’s a humanitarian responsibility.
Ambient noise monitoring helps:
• Protect public health and well-being
• Preserve community tranquillity
• Support urban planning and environmental sustainability
• Ensure workplace safety and employee comfort
• Comply with national and international noise standards
For industries and municipalities alike, knowing your noise profile is the first step toward mitigating risks and improving quality of life.
What We Test?

• Peak Sound Level
• Frequency Weightings (A, C, Z)
• Time Weightings (Fast, Slow, Impulse)
• Octave Band Analysis (31.5 Hz to 8 kHz)
• Environmental Noise (road traffic, construction, industrial zones)
• Occupational/Workplace Noise (factories, manufacturing units)
• Community Noise (schools, hospitals, public spaces)
• Product Noise Emission (appliances, equipment, electronics)
• In situ sound level measurements using calibrated Sound Level Meters (SLMs)
• 24-hour continuous noise monitoring using data loggers
• Sound mapping using GIS-integrated systems
• Compliance testing as per CPCB, MoEF&CC, OSHA, ISO 1996, and IEC standards

Protect Consumers. Satisfy Authorities. Boost Market Confidence.
Reliable ambient noise testing serves a broader purpose than just compliance. It upholds a commitment to human well-being, environmental stewardship, and business credibility.
• Protect Consumers: By identifying and mitigating harmful noise exposures, companies can prioritize public health and comfort.
• Satisfy Authorities: Accurate and standards-compliant noise reports help meet regulatory requirements from bodies like CPCB, OSHA, and ISO.
• Boost Market Confidence: Companies that demonstrate concern for environmental impact and worker safety build trust with stakeholders, clients, and communities.
At METS Laboratories, we help you achieve all three — with the power of accredited testing and meaningful reporting.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should ambient noise testing be conducted?
It depends on the regulatory requirement and environmental risk. Construction sites may require weekly testing; industrial plants may conduct it quarterly or annually. METS can help define a suitable frequency based on your sector.
Are your noise measurements compliant with CPCB and ISO standards?
Yes. All our ambient noise tests follow CPCB guidelines, MoEF&CC rules, and international standards such as ISO 1996 and IEC 61672.
What equipment do you use?
We use Type 1 Sound Level Meters, calibrated field instruments, and data loggers with GPS and environmental sensors for highly accurate measurements.
Can you support noise mitigation planning?
Absolutely. Based on test results, we provide consultation on noise control strategies, including barriers, insulation, timing controls, and acoustic treatments.
Do you offer customized reporting formats?
Yes. We tailor our reports based on your compliance needs — whether for regulatory submission, internal audits, or stakeholder presentations.
Where do you provide services?
METS Laboratories offers Ambient Noise Testing services across India, with field teams deployed from major metropolitan and industrial hubs.
