Below is a list of the most applicable standards the Nor145 is designed for. Please contact your local distributor if you have any questions related to the standard or a standard not listed.
Selecting the different application is easy using the Application menu appearing after power on.
You may also create own favorite setups indicated as smaller icons in the startup picture.
Nor145 is designed to be the preferred tool for all types of environmental noise measurements.
Measurements with markers, audio recordings and event triggered pictures are easily made and synced to your project via the NorRemote app for your phone or tablet (android). The large 4.3” display gives you all the necessary information. Up to 60 measurement parameters may be logged simultaneously.
The advanced trigger system enables different trigger levels for Day, Evening or Night with event triggers to collect markers, audio recordings and pictures. The data can be displayed remotely in a web browser on any device, or by the NorRemote app. From the same remote device, you may change settings or simply check the status of your Nor145.
Nor145 is also optimised for use with Norsonic NorCloud, Norsonics’ cloud service for noise measurement, control and reporting, all easy connected over the internal 4G modem.

General analyser (environmental) mode has a selection of different display views; Portrait and Landscape. All Portrait views can either be a single or dual type frame.
Available views in Environmental / General mode are:
Level vs frequency (L/f) display single view – portrait
Level vs frequency (L/f) display single view – portrait
Level vs frequency (L/f) display single view – landscape
Level vs time (L/t) display single view – portrait
Level vs time (L/t) display single view – landscape
Dual view with L/t and L/f – split view
Cumulative and Probability Distribution Function /PDF) – landscape view
Cumulative and Probability Distribution Function /PDF) – portrait view
A numerical table is associated with all the graphical views – just press the TAB button to toggle between graphical and numerical view. Works both with single and split screen.
Split view with FFT and 1/3 octave. The link cursor feature connects the cursor in FFT and 1/3 octave displays, making it easy to manoeuvre in the frequency domain

Norsonic is known for its long-time tradition of creating the state-of-the art building acoustic analysers. The Nor145 sound level meter is no exception!
It can be used as a stand-alone single channel building acoustic analyser, or as a remotely controlled building acoustic frontend (wireless) for the advanced Nor850 multichannel software thru its hotspot feature.
The Nor145 offers a built-in signal generator for excitation of the source room level measurements or for excitation of the reverberation time measurements. The results are measured in accordance with the ISO 16283 Standard requirements. With additional background level measurement results, the Nor145 offers a on-board calculation of the final airborne sound insulation indices DnT and Rw in accordance with ISO 717. Of course, the similar possibility is available for impact sound insulation index Ln,w using a tapping machine such as the Nor277.
The reverberation time excitation may alternatively be based on an impulsive source. In any case, the Nor145 calculates the results for T15, T20 and T30 in parallel.
The Nor145 analyser is seamless integrated with the Nor850 software; either as a remote frontend to the Nor850 Measurement System, or for easy post processing in the Nor850 Reporting System.
Features:
Building acoustics mode offers application tailored displays to secure a good work flow and control in your project.
