The Noise Chap (Adam)
@thenoisechap.bsky.social
Bothering people about noise at work for over 30 years now, it’s tragic really. Has far too many dogs (11), Honda NT1100 rider, F1 nut, and spends most of his time decomposing slowly towards the grave.
This year marked 20 years of self-employment bimbling around the UK doing workplace noise assessments, and being a bit weird, still enjoying it. www.thenoisechap.com

Not every instance of noise levels at work being over 85 dB(A) means hearing protection is needed, it also depends on for how long and for how often. I have a free daily (or weekly) noise exposure calculator anyone can use for noise risk assessment: www.thenoisechap.com/noise-exposu...

If you need a noise assessment at work, rather than pay corporates for a mediocre assessment with an invoice padded by all their overheads, go straight to the actual noise nerd. My noise assessments meet the HSE's requirements without costing crazy money. www.thenoisechap.com

Do you need to shout to be heard in a factory? If so a workplace noise assessment is needed and I am just the fella for that - a noise nerd for hire. www.thenoisechap.com

Love that she only appears when it is warm!
I also have a helper. If I look at my laptop too long without due attention this happens. It’s like iPhone telling you to stand up except this is ‘oi, that’s enough work for a bit, time to throw things’. And then winds the other 10 up to also bother me.

TechCrunch are not holding back with their headlines are they? Seems a bit harsh on the poor fella.

For a noise risk at work, reaching for the strongest hearing protection seems like the best option but as always it is not quite so simple as too much protection introduces its own issues. This is a free tool which can help you choose suitable hearing protection. www.thenoisechap.com/hearing-prot...

It may not be warm but it is sunny so that’s good enough to ditch the car for the day. Happy days.

Noise safety can be a jargon-filled quagmire as jargon makes us noise-nerds feel as though we know something special. This is a wee explanation of the difference between a noise survey, a noise assessment and a noise risk assessment. www.thenoisechap.com/noise-safety...

A hot new entry in the ‘tech things I didn’t know I needed until I tried one’, a Stream Deck. It has that ‘I just want to play with it’ feeling. Essential? Not at all. But very cool to have? Yes indeed.

Sometimes I’m standing there waving my noise meters around on a noise assessment and it strikes me what a proper job looks like. These chaps are artists at what they do.

Muted lists are marvellous, I’ve muted most of the madness from both wings. All I see now seems to be people on motorbikes and techy nerdy stuff, happy days. 😃
