MONICA and French project partners Acoucité were awarded the Silver Decibel in the Decibel d’Or competition organised by the Counseil National du Bruit in France. The purpose of the competition, which has existed since 1991, is to reward outstanding initiatives in the prevention, reduction or control of noise and the improvement of the noise environment.
The prize was won in the research category for the sound monitoring and control solution as a tool to help organisers of outdoor festivals comply with regulatory thresholds at places where amplified sounds are produced.
