Soundear4 Industrial Noise Monitoring
SoundEar4-410 and SoundEar4 XL combine continuous noise measurement with immediate green, yellow and red visual feedback.
Monitor noise where it occurs, store measurement data automatically and choose the workflow that fits your site – standalone, locally connected or with SoundEar Cloud.
Noise in production areas is difficult to manage when employees and safety teams only see the result after a survey or report.
SoundEar4 makes the current sound level visible in the workplace while continuously recording measurement data in the background.
The clear green, yellow and red indication gives immediate feedback when selected thresholds are reached. Historical data can then be reviewed to identify patterns, assess changes and support ongoing noise-management work.
SoundEar4 is designed for fixed-location area monitoring. It supports workplace noise management but does not replace personal exposure measurements where these are required.
See how a UK industrial company used SoundEar Cloud reports to support an ISO 45001 audit, with an anonymised sample report available to download.
Choose the format that fits the area and the visibility you need. Both models provide continuous monitoring, visual indication, internal logging, integrated Wi-Fi and Modbus TCP.
Compact industrial noise monitor
SoundEar4-410 is designed for production areas, workshops and other industrial workplaces where continuous monitoring and clear visual feedback are required in a compact wall-mounted format.
Its green, yellow and red indicators make changing noise conditions easy to understand at a glance, while measurement data is stored internally for later analysis.
Large-format industrial noise monitor
SoundEar4 XL provides the same core monitoring concept in a much larger, highly visible format for industrial areas where noise information needs to be seen from further away.
The XL is built around a high-strength aluminium core with a protective shock-absorbing rubber bumper, making it suitable for demanding fixed industrial installations.
01 Visualise
The visual display translates measured sound levels into clear green, yellow and red feedback based on the selected thresholds.
Employees do not need to read a sound-level report to understand that conditions have changed.
02 Monitor
SoundEar4 is designed for continuous fixed-location monitoring in production areas, workshops and other industrial zones.
Measurement data is stored automatically, creating a consistent record of changing sound conditions over time.
03 Document
Review recorded data to identify recurring high-noise periods, compare operating conditions and document whether noise-management measures have changed the acoustic environment.
04 Integrate
Integrated Wi-Fi and Modbus TCP support connected industrial workflows. Local and standalone options remain available when Cloud access is not required.
05 Configure
SoundEar4 supports configurable alarm thresholds and display settings, including scheduled day and night settings where different operating conditions require different visual limits or brightness.
Not sure which model fits your area?
The monitoring hardware is not dependent on one data workflow. Choose the setup that fits the customer’s IT requirements and the purpose of the installation.
Operate the device locally with internal logging and direct data access. This is suitable when the customer wants continuous monitoring without relying on Cloud access.
Add remote overview, historical data, alerts, reporting and online device management across one or many measuring points.
Cloud access is optional. The SoundEar4 hardware can still be used in standalone or local workflows.
SoundEar Cloud
SoundEar Cloud gives safety teams and other authorised users remote access to connected measuring points.
Use the platform to review historical measurement data, receive alerts, generate reports and manage devices without being physically present at each location.
New SoundEar4 devices include 3 months of SoundEar Cloud access.
Before the included access expires, the customer receives a reminder. Continued access can be purchased when needed. There is no automatic payment and no automatic renewal.

SoundEar4 measures and stores sound-level data. It does not record audio.
This makes the system suitable for continuous environmental noise monitoring without creating audio recordings of employees or conversations.
Each SoundEar4-410 or SoundEar4 XL is supplied with the essential components required for installation, power and calibration access.

SoundEar4-410 and SoundEar4 XL are designed to meet performance requirements for IEC 61672-1 and ANSI S1.43 (Class 2).
The products are intended for fixed-location area monitoring and noise awareness.
Both models provide continuous fixed-location noise monitoring, visual feedback, internal logging, integrated Wi-Fi and Modbus TCP. SoundEar4-410 is the more compact wall-mounted solution. SoundEar4 XL provides a much larger visual display and a rugged aluminium construction for areas where visibility from a greater distance is important.
No. SoundEar4 stores sound-level measurement data only. It does not record conversations or audio.
No. SoundEar Cloud is optional. SoundEar4 can also be used in standalone or local workflows. Cloud adds remote overview, historical data, alerts, reporting and online device management.
SoundEar4 supports Modbus TCP for connected monitoring and integration workflows. Integrated Wi-Fi is available for Cloud connectivity.
Yes. SoundEar4 supports internal logging and USB data access. SoundEar4-410 supports .ear export and CSV logging through USB-A. SoundEar4 XL supports manual export of internal log files to a USB flash drive.
Yes. The external microphone can be calibrated using a suitable acoustic calibrator. The supplied 4-pole microphone extension cable provides calibration access.
No. SoundEar4 is a fixed-location area monitoring system. It supports noise-risk management and continuous monitoring of an area but does not replace personal exposure measurement when individual dosimetry is required.
