Noise measurement in residential premises
Noise in an apartment may come from neighbours, building services equipment, ventilation, a lift, pumps, air conditioners, transport, construction work or industrial installations. For a court dispute, it is important not simply to record sound on a phone, but to correctly document the conditions, timing, source and exposure levels.
For court proceedings, it is important to: formulate the questions correctly, identify the source of exposure, take measurements in relevant rooms, and describe the measurement conditions, instruments used and results obtained.

Sources
Typical sources of noise, vibration and exposure
- Neighbours:
music, conversations, footsteps, renovation, household appliances, impact noise and alterations to building services. - Building services equipment:
ventilation, air conditioners, pumps, lifts, boiler rooms, refrigeration systems and server rooms. - Building structures:
walls, floor slabs, floors, shafts, pipes, equipment mountings and structure-borne noise transmission paths. - Indoor environment:
stuffiness, draughts, overheating, humidity, insufficient air exchange, lighting and electromagnetic fields.
