Different noises are evaluated in the sound studio using headphones.
By recording the noise field, the acoustic camera produces a graphic of the noise distribution.
Practical noise measurement: Microphones placed close to the ears record the real noises in the head area.
The legally prescribed exterior noises are measured on the acoustic measuring track.
