Why use a noise dosimeter?
The 1954 noise dosimeter is designed to save you time and money in the measurement of noise for computation of personal noise dose. In industrial environments where noise levels vary constantly, noise-dose measurements are the easiest method of determining both the risk of hearing damage and compliance with the law. Computing noise-dose in virtually every industrial environment would necessitate tedious day-long measurements with a sound-level meter and timing with a stop watch.
