Recording neighbourhood nuisance noise has always been a costly, time-consuming affair with tape storage, calibration difficulties and analysis problems afterwards.
The Castle NoiseLog solves all of these problems providing a cost effective solution allowing noise complainants to record offending noises for measurement and identification, thus assisting with fast and effective dispute resolution.
Following a simple set-up, the complainant is left with a single button switch to start and stop recordings instantly. The use of SD cards means recording time is only limited by the size of the card.
