Acoustic Sentry pairs an ISO 9613-2 Site Acoustics model of your facility with a live listening array — so you can show, at any moment and at every sensitive receptor, that your cooling plant, generators, and switchgear stay within community noise limits. The same array hears failing equipment before it fails.

Data centers face two acoustic pressures at once: staying under community noise limits, and keeping thousands of pieces of rotating equipment healthy. Acoustic Sentry handles both from the same array.
Before a station is ever placed, your site is modeled with Site Acoustics so the sound levels required at property lines and predetermined sensitive spots are known — and defensible.
Compliance baselineRemote monitoring stations distributed across the site measure real levels around the clock and feed them — over Wi-Fi or wired connection — straight to the Mother Unit.
Distributed stationsThe Mother Unit runs live measurements through the Site Acoustics map to predict, with high accuracy, the sound level at each predetermined sensitive location — even where you can't place a sensor. The resulting compliance map can be live-streamed to any interested party, from operations to the community.
Predictive · Live-streamedOnboard machine learning builds a living baseline of the plant's normal acoustic behavior. When something drifts from normal, it flags the anomaly to the site administrator — and can predict what's likely happening.
Adaptive ML baselineA library of equipment fault signatures — fan-bearing failure, and more — lets the system name the problem, not just detect it. Phase-DOA triangulation pinpoints the exact piece of equipment making the faulty noise, so you're alerted to the right rack before it fails.
Signature library · Phase DOATwo of the hardest acoustic problems in a data center — proving you're under the limit and keeping thousands of rotating machines healthy — solved by the same distributed sensors.
ISO 9613-2 prediction at every receptor — octave-band and low-frequency ready — so your compliance case stands up to the AHJ, the ordinance, and public comment.
The same stations that prove compliance hear fan-bearing wear, chiller imbalance, and CRAH faults early — and Phase-DOA points to the exact rack.
A live compliance map you can put in front of operations, management, regulators, or the community — no waiting on a quarterly measurement report.
Every Acoustic Sentry deployment is built on a Site Acoustics model of your facility. That model is what lets the Mother Unit translate a handful of live measurements into an accurate, defensible prediction of the sound level at any sensitive point on the map — the foundation of true compliance monitoring.
