Building Acoustics Partner – Acoustic Quality of Buildings and Determination of Sleep Disturbance

The HBK 2255 Sound Level Meter with Building Acoustics Partner is designed specifically for building acoustics measurements. Lightweight and robust, HBK 2255 and its accessories are ideally suited for use on real-world building sites, where dust and debris are more commonplace than functioning elevators.

With the Building Acoustics Partner license installed, HBK 2255 can measure everything you need for sound insulation measurements, from 1/1- or 1/3-octave band level measurements to reverberation time measurements with interrupted or impulsive noise signals. Connecting the Building Acoustics Partner mobile app provides wireless remote control and full workflow support, while giving you complete freedom to adapt to conditions on site.

You can simultaneously measure source (L1) and receiving room levels (L2) by connecting two HBK 2255 Sound Level Meters to the app. This feature is designed to save time and enhance efficiency, especially when working in pairs.

Mobile App Usage

The Building Acoustics Partner mobile app brings an entirely new level of efficiency and control to sound insulation measurements. Measurement planning and workflow automation in the mobile app help to ensure that you never miss a measurement position, while easy measurement reuse between partitions helps you to minimize the total number of measurements.

PC App Usage

Sound insulation testing projects don’t end when the last measurement is completed – the measurement data still needs to be analysed and a report needs to be created. The Building Acoustics Partner PC app is designed to make these tasks as efficient as possible, while providing the maximum level of insight and confidence in your data.
