Open office arrangements are conducive to collaboration among colleagues; unfortunately, they are also conducive to distracting background noise! To increase productivity and promote effective sound management, the unique
Jabra Noise Guide is a portable device that monitors noise levels in open office environments.
See noise levels fall. Feel productivity rise.
Similar to a traffic light, the Noise Guide provides immediate visual feedback on noise levels.
There are three colors:
Green: Go! Conversation is at an acceptable level.
Yellow: Caution! Noise levels are rising.
Red: Stop! Conversation is at an unacceptable level.
Customize sensitivity levels for specific needs. It is pre-set for "Noisy Office" but can be easily changed using the SoundEar 3 software (preloaded on the included USB stick) when the Noise Guide is connected to a PC.
Noise Level Setting Options:
Noisy Office:
•The device is lit green when the noise level is below 60 dB.
•The device is lit yellow when the noise level ranges from 60 dB to 70 dB.
•The device is lit red when the noise level exceeds 70 dB.
Normal Office:
•The device is lit green when the noise level is below 55 dB.
•The device is lit yellow when the noise level ranges from 55 dB to 65 dB.
•The device is lit red when the noise level exceeds 65 dB.
Quiet Office:
•The device is lit green when the noise level is below 50 dB.
•The device is lit yellow when the noise level ranges from 50 dB to 60 dB.
•The device is lit red when the noise level exceeds 60 dB.
You can also choose Customize Settings, to tailor the Noise Guide to your specific environment needs. Jabra suggests an average coverage area of 50 sq. feet.
Measure underlying noise trends.
Measure and record daily noise levels over a period of up to three months, to help identify and track problem areas in your office.
Download noise data to a PC or a USB stick and analyze it using the special SoundEar 3 software.
The Noise Guide provides you with
2 types of measurements, simultaneously. The ear symbol indicates the state of the current noise level
while the LED panel at the bottom of the device indicates the average noise level over the past 15 minutes.
Ensure you're using the latest software version by clicking on the “Software Update." The "Software Update" button links to the web site where you can find the latest software version. Always remember to update your Noise Guide with latest versions of both software (for your PC) and firmware (for
the Noise Guide device).

In addition to the Noise Guide, a
steel cubicle mount or
aluminum table stand, (at a cost of $55.00 each), must be purchased. The portability is a great feature! You can move the Noise Guide between departments, areas, or offices to take advantage of the device. The Table Stand has a table grip that secures the Noise Guide to the desk or table. The cubicle mount rests on top of a divider wall and is clamped into the side.
Now through the end of the year, Jabra is offering a FREE Noise Guide with purchase of 35 of any combination of the Evolve 40, 65, and 80 headsets.
