How does the Netatmo station measure acoustic comfort?

The Netatmo weather station evaluates the surrounding acoustic comfort by measuring the average noise level (in dB) over a 5-minute interval.

Did you know?

  • The usual human ear cannot distinguish sounds below 30 dB.
  • A prolongated exposure to sound levels over 65 dB noticeably diminishes your ability to concentrate.
  • In many countries, continuous exposure to noise during a workday is limited to an 85 dB level.
  • Sounds over 95 dB can put your hearing at risk.
