Noise Awareness Training Reviews

Was just enough insight

No summary provided

As Music teachers we have understanding and knowledge of music levels to a much higher degree, than is presented here. Thank you anyway, it was a good course

I fell asleep and a colleague had to wake me up

the levels and distances are not as important as control and exposure.

A very informative course although a little repetitive and quite difficult to watch and listen in a work/desk based environment. Would have liked more questions throughout the presentation so I could pick up on anything that I had not fully understood.

Good course

I don't think it is necessary to go into the details of how the ear is made up i.e. hammer, anvil and stirrup etc. It is interesting to understand but not to be tested on. Noise levels, PPE, responsibilities should be included.

I appreciate we need to know the damage excess noise can cause, but felt like I was in a human biology lesson for a while! Sometimes brief and succinct training in relation to such topics can have a greater impact - in this case I'm sure the required knowledge could have been imparted in less time. That is my only criticism

As an audio company, we should be accurate with our information and this course had apparent errors. "+3dB is twice as loud" is incorrect (it is twice as much power, but this is different). Damage occurs first at high frequencies is incorrect, it is middle frequencies which are critical for speech. Finally, one of the questions said that "your maximum exposure should not exceed 87dBA". This seems wrong and I could not find the reference for it. The UK regulation is 90dB over 8 hours. Nice course, nice aim - but as Harman we should execute this accurately.
