Noise Monitoring - Procedures

4th November 2016 - 07:00 a.m. [WEEK 1]
Tampin Market, Tampin, Negeri Sembilan.

Today was the day we did our first noise monitoring activity. This was held at Tampin morning market early in the morning as folks usually go to wet market at that time to find groceries, fishes and newly-slaughtered chicken. Hence, it would be best to monitor the noise at that time because market tend to be loud and crowded with various types of people there.

We departed from our university at 7 o'clock in the morning arrived at the market around 20 minutes past 7. After we had taken about 20 minutes to set-up and made a 10 minutes of trial recording, we started our monitoring at 7:50 a.m.. The monitoring took an hour to finish hence we finished at 8:50 a.m.. In the middle of the monitoring activity, there was a drizzle fall at the market area due to the cool air in the morning so we used umbrella to cover the equipment. We cannot move the microphone or if we indeed do that, we have to start the monitoring all over again.

These were some pictures that we had taken from the first monitoring day;

The distance of microphone and wind device must be at least 1 meter away.
