The location is a home for people with learning disabilities and who also exhibit very challenging behaviour which often manifests itself in prolonged screeching/screaming and other vocalisations. I need to be able to establish noise levels in this environment but the personal dosimeters I have seen will not be an acceptable means of obtaining data as they would be perceived as intrusive and would likely end up as weapons. Has anyone come across a similar scenario and could offer some way forward please.

Hi Bill,

I don't know if you have come across the Cirrus Dosebadge. It is very much smaller unit than the box types.

I presume a member of staff would be wearing it?

Take a look at http://www.cirrusresearc...nal_noise_dosemeter.html

Hope it helps.
