Professional monitoring and reporting
Noise is a health issue
Public-health research links chronic noise exposure to sleep disruption, cardiovascular disease, and impaired learning — and the levels that matter most happen at night, when nobody is standing there with a handheld meter.
Environmental noise ranks second among environmental health threats in Europe — behind only air pollution.
European Environment Agency ↗of sites in the first systematic U.S. citywide noise study exceeded WHO nighttime noise guidance (Portland, 2023–24).
Mowrer et al., J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol 2025 ↗the odds of high sleep disturbance for roughly every 10 dB increase in nighttime road-traffic noise.
Basner & McGuire, WHO-commissioned review 2018 ↗15-minute average limit in the WHO global standard for safe listening at venues and events — monitored live, with calibrated equipment.
WHO Global Standard, 2022 ↗Continuous monitoring captures what a spot check never can — including the 3 a.m. levels that matter most. That is what Beacons is built to do.
Monitor and prove compliance
A full acoustic-monitoring stack — calibrated iPhones and purpose-built Beacons hardware in the field, a real-time dashboard in the cloud.
Real-time SPL monitoring
Live dBA/dBC sound pressure levels, Leq, octave bands and peak metrics, computed on-device and streamed to the dashboard at sub-second speeds.
Schedule-aware compliance
Define event schedules with per-block limits and per-frequency octave-band thresholds. Beacons flags exceedances against the active block automatically.
AI-powered reports
Generate professional, narrative compliance reports with a click. Hybrid AI summarizes per-block and per-band results into client-ready PDFs.
Offline-first resilience
Lose connectivity and nothing is lost. Readings buffer securely on the device and backfill with their original timestamps the moment the network returns.
Multi-device fleet
Deploy a mixed fleet of iPhones and proprietary Beacons hardware across a site. Designate a reference device at the property line and track real-time FOH headroom to the limit.
Instant QR live view
Inspectors and venue staff scan a session QR code to see live, view-only data instantly — no login, scoped securely to that session.
Deploy in minutes
No on-site server, no wiring, no specialist install. iPhones, Beacons hardware, and the web.
Deploy
Register an iPhone or a Beacons hardware node in the dashboard, pair it securely, and place it. Each device becomes a calibrated Beacons node in minutes.
Monitor
Watch live SPL, frequency spectrum, weather, and device health across your fleet. Color-coded compliance updates in real time.
Report
Generate a schedule-aware compliance report at session end. Share a PDF or a live QR link with clients, inspectors, and venues.
Built for the field
Wherever noise needs to be measured, logged, and defended.
