There are many different versions of Windows in use and we still see customers using Windows 2000 or even 98SE. Our current software programs, NoiseTools, Deaf Defier3, dBLink, Noise-Hub and the SoundSign software will work with most recent Windows operating systems as long as you have the correct drivers and have installed the latest version.

Throughout 2012 and 2013, our chosen charity is Hearing Dogs for Deaf People which has a direct association with the industry that we are involved in.
Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is a national charity and centre of excellence in training hearing dogs to alert deaf people to everyday household sounds and danger signals in the home, work place and in public buildings.
Hearing Dogs was launched at the world famous Crufts dog show in 1982. Since then we have created over 1,600 life-changing partnerships between deaf people and hearing dogs in the UK. There are currently over 750 working partnerships in the country.
Join in and support
You can help us support Hearing Dogs for Deaf People in a number of ways. You can donate directly through their website or you can enter our Noise in Action Photography Competition.
The winners of the competition will be featured in our 2013 calendar with all proceeds being donated to the charity. This calendar will be on sale in late 2012 so there’s plenty of time to enter and win.
We will also be holding a competition at the 2013 Safety & Health Expo in aid of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.

Starting the bells
Last Friday, as part of the build up to the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics we were at the “All the Bells” event in Beverley’s Wednesday Market.
The event was led by the East Riding’s Town Crier Michael Wood, Three Times World Champion Town Crier and Britain’s Loudest Town Crier.
At 8.12am, hundreds of residents, many with hand bells, created a mass of noise for 3 minutes.
At the end of the 3 minutes, Michael Wood led three cheers to the Olympics and TeamGB.
As part of the event, we measured the noise from the 3 minutes of bells as well as from Michael himself!
Over the 3 minutes of the event, we measured an LAeq of 92.7dB!
To show how loud a hand bell can be, we also measured Michael ringing a bell at close range which gave us an LAFmax of 120dB(A)!
Ringing the bells
Cirrus has been involved with measuring noise from Town Criers over the past few years, and in 2010, Cirrus measured the noise levels at the British Town Crier Championships in Bridlington where we measured Michael’s Cry at almost 105dB!
There’s some further press coverage about the event on the following links:
