  • Page 28: Valuable Information On Noisegard

    Valuable information on NoiseGard™ The NoiseGard™ principle One of the greatest stress factors today is noise. Research has shown that noise affects the nervous system, and can cause tiredness, poor concentration, irritability and tension. Of even greater concern is the permanent damage to hearing that can result from noise at high levels.
  • Page 29 In response to these problems, Sennheiser has developed an active noise compensation system – NoiseGard™ – which, combined with a high-quality passive hearing protector, provides consistent noise attenuation over the entire audio range. The overall noise level is reduced so that the radio volume can be turned down but enough noise still remains for the pilot to safely monitor the aircraft engines.
  • Page 30 The above diagram shows noise compensation with NoiseGard™: Passive hearing protectors effectively attenuate noise from the middle and upper frequency range, the effect decreasing sharply in the lower range. However, active noise compensation with NoiseGard™ combined with passive hearing protectors results in a reduction of noise of approx.
