Noise from industrial processes and construction can damage hearing, create worker compensation claims, affect worker's health and can be disruptive to communicaiton and business. Businesses that generate loud music, construction noise or unwanted noise can violate noise ordinances and upset communities.

A well controlled noise source at acceptable levels, creates a pleasant workplace, better communication and more productive employees. A business that can prove their noise does not violate local noise ordinances is better armed at fighting litigation.
