The Nova Environmental Sound Level Meter is designed for environmental noise assessments. Compliant with IEC 61672-1:2013, it is available as a Class 1 or Class 2 meter, with Class 1 suited to applications requiring higher accuracy. The Nova Environmental measures Leq, Lpeak, Ln values and other key environmental noise parameters simultaneously, with 1:1 octave band analysis, data logging, and our licence-free AnalyzerPlus software for detailed analysis and reporting.
Sound Level Meter for Environmental, Construction and Traffic Noise
The Nova Environmental is designed for environmental noise monitoring. With a dynamic measurement range of 20 dB(A) to 140 dB(A), it is suitable for environmental noise assessments across a wide range of industries, including construction, manufacturing, entertainment, and local authority compliance. Repeat timers can automatically start and stop measurements, making the Nova Environmental well-suited to prolonged assessments when paired with the Outdoor Noise Measurement Kit.
Straightforward Operation with a Robust Design
With a robust die-cast aluminium casing, the Nova Environmental is designed for use in a variety of environments. Its bright TFT display remains clear in a wide range of lighting conditions, and the soft-touch keypad and intuitive menu system make operation straightforward. All frequency and time weightings are measured simultaneously for ease of use, and the included alkaline batteries typically provide more than 30 hours of battery life, allowing the meter to be used continuously for extended periods.
First Direct Arena –
The ability to comply with Noise at Work Regulations is an essential requirement for a venue such as ours. From the start, we wanted to invest in a trusted brand and a meter that would offer us the right specification and the latest technology to help us achieve compliance. We chose the Nova sound meter from local company Pulsar Instruments plc which meets all our key requirements and we are delighted with its performance.
Independent Environmental Consultancy (IEC) –
Independent Environmental Consultancy (IEC) regularly updates its noise monitoring kit. When it came to purchasing a new real-time octave band analyser which could be used for workplace and environmental noise measurements, we opted for the Pulsar Nova Model 45 noise measurement kit. The kit is constantly in use and is a favoured by our consultancy team due to its ease of use, reliability and impressive functionality – a sound choice.

The Nova is a fantastic piece of equipment. It allows me to take quick readings and produce the relevant reports and make PPE comparisons easily. As well as saving me considerable time, the clear, real-time screen lets me show and explain to the staff the noise readings in their area as it happens. This is the best tool I have had in cultivating a positive attitude in the staff toward managing their own noise exposure and wearing the hearing protection correctly.

In the past, I’ve used other meters that would have required at least 30 minutes for all of the measurements, but because of the Nova 45’s ability to measure simultaneously, the whole process was completed within the 10 minute window, thus saving me and the client time while allowing the show to go on!
