msg362 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I am just back from a saturday morning in 'Robinson' ( Aiport Plaza) and just added a noise meter to my Android phone. I always knew the noise levels were very high there but i was applaed. Sitting having coffe by the iStudio stand was 95dB further down ,where there was a promotion of CDMA things and loudspeakers were operating, it was 110dB at 2 metres from the loundspeaker. The pretty girls in short dresses were exposed to 95 dB I ued to deal with this is the UK The current noise level for work is 85dB, sinc it is a logarithmic scale, every 10 dB means a 10 fold increase. The girls were 10 times over the Uk limit and by the loudspeakers it was over 100 times over the limit. This means that is it is 'OK' to be exposed to 85dB for 8 hours, you can only work for 1/10 of this at 95 i.e 48 minutes and near the loudspeakers, less than 5 minutes! Even sitting having coffee should not be for more than .say. 1 hour. Can anything be done? PS MY 'SCORE' HAS SAT A 47 FOR A LONG TIME NOW WHAT IS HAPPENING?

MESmith Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Try the food court at BigC, Lamphun. Actually, the best advice is to avoid it. Louder than most other places I've been to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clinique Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 agreed, cant stand it especially on weekends,, but Thais seem oblivious to the noise .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millwall_fan Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 As far as possible I avoid Robinsons at the weekend. I agree about the noise and its very difficult to park as well. During the week its like a moastery! well within your decibel counter On that note (no pun intended) I'd be interested to know what your noise measurer makes of tuk tuks, loudspeaker advertising vans or drunken Farangs at 6am!!!!

jackr Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Thais seem oblivious to the noise .. That's because they're all deaf from it, causing the hammer, anvil and stirrup bones (inner ear) to meld into a femur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgriffith Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 This morning there was a sound truck that wins the prize for loudest I've ever heard. Headed west on Huay Kaew, it did a turn around up by the CM Zoo. I swear I could hear it, from 1 k away. When it got back near my building...all I can say is that I'm glad I don't own a .50 BMG. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomchaiCNX Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 We are about 1km away from the airport plaza and it is not possible to sleep with the windows open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
