Cirrus Sound Level Meters are handheld instruments used to measure environmental and occupational noise levels. Depending on the model (e.g., MK427 or MK440), features may include Class 1 accuracy, real-time octave band analysis, data logging, audio recording, and integration with reporting software. They are used for noise surveys, legal compliance, and environmental monitoring.
They allow detailed noise surveys, real-time analysis, and reliable reporting for compliance purposes. The value for the customer is that they enable informed decisions about workplace safety, environmental noise management, and risk mitigation, helping organisations prevent hearing damage, avoid regulatory penalties, and maintain operational efficiency.






Class 1 precision for reliable measurements.
Captures and stores noise data for compliance.
Identifies frequency-specific noise risks.
Records sound events for later review.
Lightweight and rugged for field use.
Automates reporting and risk management.
Measure. Monitor. Mitigate. Environmental and occupational noise is a silent hazard underground. Cirrus sound level meters give mines the accuracy and insight needed to manage noise risks effectively.
Portable and rugged, these meters provide real-time measurements and data logging, allowing teams to identify hotspots, plan interventions, and maintain compliance. Linked with SmartMine, noise surveys and reports can be automated and easily integrated into operational risk management systems.
Bottom line: Safer work environments, informed mitigation strategies, regulatory compliance, and reduced long-term hearing risk.
