Description: In New Jersey, recertification is required of all investigators every 24 months (NJAC 7:29-2.11) This course is essentially a refresher, addressing most of the topics covered in the Certification course in an abbreviated manner, as well as an opportunity to practice your field inspection skills. The reality is that most investigators are not called upon to conduct a noise investigation more than a couple of times a year. Refreshing the necessary skills is valuable for your comfort and confidence as a field investigator, aside from the fact that it’s legally required in New Jersey. Many jurisdictions outside of New Jersey adhere to this practice of biannual recertification as well, even though it may not be required by their code. The course also serves to update New Jersey investigators on any changes to the language, interpretation, or enforcement of 7:29 or Model Code.

Prerequisite: Students must complete an online Noise Certification or Recertification Course before attending this Field Exercise.

Description: It is our goal to make sure that every one of our students is comfortable with the technology, techniques, and strategies of sound level measurement for enforcement purposes. No prior knowledge is assumed and the only prerequisite is interest. This course is required by state law (New Jersey Noise Code – NJAC 7:29) for noise enforcement investigators in the state of New Jersey, and it has been attended by investigators from Florida to Alaska and Barbados to Canada. It is also useful for private consultants, industry, commercial facilities, and concerned citizens.

Topics covered in the course include: impacts of noise; fundamentals of sound; operation of sound level meters; sound measurement calculations; determining the sound level of the source under investigation alone in an acoustically complex environment; sound measurement reporting; regulatory compliance evaluation; development of a prima facie court case; courtroom tactics; and management of agitated complainants. All questions are solicited and thoroughly addressed. A written and practical exam insure the student’s preparedness to take legally valid noise measurements.

When taught in New Jersey, N.J.A.C. 7:29 is reviewed in depth as is the state’s Model Ordinance for municipalities. This discussion is very useful even for investigators from outside of New Jersey because N.J.A.C. 7:29 is to our knowledge the most detailed noise code in the country regarding the protocols for noise measurement. Many other jurisdictions have essentially adopted the methodologies therein as their agency’s SOP. We recommend that everyone (whether from inside or outside New Jersey) bring a copy of their noise code to the course, and we’ll make sure you understand it completely.

Prerequisite: Students must complete an online Noise Certification or Recertification Course before attending this Field Exercise.

Description: Many jurisdictions set permissible sound level limits in octave bands in their code, in addition to the limits set on the A-scale (dBA). New Jersey is one of those jurisdictions. While no certification is required for an officer to conduct octave band analysis, beyond the basic certification course Community Noise Enforcement, it is a more involved measurement method. Several years ago we developed this course at the request of the enforcement community, and it is now offered annually. Completion of the certification course is a prerequisite for this course.
