There are many reasons for investing in noise measurement equipment usually due to legal necessity. However Pulsar Instruments Supplier of plc were delighted to assist Sky 1’s Brainiac: Science Abuse team in an effort to determine whether sound could travel from England to France. The experiment involved Vic Reeves in England making a series of loud noises and Jon Tickle attempting to measure these noises in France.

The Brainiac: Science Abuse team used a Pulsar Model 33 to perform a 1:1 Octave Band Analysis measurement to determine whether sound would make the 22.1 mile journey across the English Channel. Having tried their usual trademark explosions on the ground and 6 salute shells in the air with no success, the solution came in creating a wall of tonal noise at 50Hz using a speaker stack, which was then measured 1 minute 44 seconds later in France.

The Model 33 is the perfect instrument for most applications including noise at work assessments, noise control, accurate hearing protection prescription, room acoustics & environmental noise.

As with all Pulsar instrumentation, the combination of ease of use, complete measurement kits and strong software solutions ensure taking measurements and reporting them is a quick and effective process. Optional extras such as environmental outdoor kits and GSM communication increase your already extensive application solutions.
