Noise Meters – Why you should choose Pulsar Instruments

By: Callum Wallis


Pulsar Instruments – the Gold Standard in Noise Measurement

The fact that Pulsar Instruments is a manufacturing company with a 50-year history of success speaks for itself; we have been at the forefront of technology for noise meters since our inception as an engineer-led concern in 1969. We were the first company to display both sound exposure times and sound pressure levels on the same scale of a sound level meter – a revolutionary idea at the time, and now a feature that health and safety practitioners depend on. We also played a key role in the development of the IEC International Noise Measurement Standard.

We are golden

For fifty years, Pulsar Instruments has represented the gold standard in noise measurement. We have contributed significantly to the way noise, and in particular noise at work, is currently monitored, helping protect workers’ hearing and improving the quality of their lives and working environments in thousands of companies around the globe.

We are trusted

Our long-established brand has been trusted by health and safety practitioners for 50 years to deliver robust, easy-to-use, affordable, and accurate high-performance noise measurement equipment to solve their noise problems.

We are innovative:

  • We were the first company to display both sound exposure times and sound pressure levels on the same scale of a sound level meter — a revolutionary idea at the time.
  • We pioneered the use of integrated circuitry in place of separate transistors.
  • We designed the first noise meters to be ‘styled’ with coloured scales and fitted them into beautiful moulded cases now seen as commonplace.
  • We developed the world’s first true linear scaled meter.
  • We developed the first instrument specifically designed for the global market, meeting the new international standards of the time.
  • Our Chief Engineer, along with three other British engineers, was responsible for developing much of the IEC’s international noise measurement standard, IEC 61672.

We are here for you today and tomorrow

Today, Pulsar Instruments is a thriving modern business that sells a range of noise metersnoise dosimeters, and noise warning signs in over 50 countries worldwide, both online and through our network of sales partners.

Pulsar has always existed not only as a vendor of noise measurement products but also as a company with a strong commitment to continuous research and development, benefiting the industries we serve. We have introduced numerous new products over the last 50 years, ranging from the very basic to the highly innovative. They have all contributed to a step change in the way noise at work is now being monitored.

From the start, we worked closely with customers and listened to their needs. To this day, we have remained faithful to our original commitment to them, which was to produce easy-to-use, durable, and reliable instrumentation.

We are proud to be a UK company with a very strong global presence.  There are many good reasons to be excited about the future, and we are looking forward to the next 50 years!
