In everyday life, we are exposed to many sources of noise including from passing traffic, builders using tools or even background music in a shop. Many people are also exposed to noise in their workplace from sources such as production machinery, air extraction systems or through headsets in a call centre. Noise is one of the most common occupational health and safety risks.

The “exposure limit value” in the UK is a daily or weekly exposure of 87dB(A) and a peak sound pressure of 140 dB(C).
