Horecasense is a simple and user friendly system for measuring sound in clubs, pubs, bars or other music venues.
Stay within the limits and avoid fines and complaints.
With Horecasense you will have insight in your current sound levels anywhere and anytime.
Our system is extensible with several sensors and/or several displays.
Lately there is more pressure on the hospitality and catering industry from governments as well as society, to take measures to reduce sound nuisance and hearing loss.This is very difficult when you don’t have control over or insight in the sound levels of the venue. And it often means investing a lot of time, money and energy in expensive systems, but not with Horecasense.
Horecasense is used for continuous measuring and registration of sound levels in music venues. Hundreds of clubs and bars, in The Netherlands and Belgium (Leuven and Brussels) have been using the compact Horecasense system for many years.
It is a simple and smooth way for measuring, monitoring and registration of sound emission in your venue. Thus you will keep control of sound emission, but also avert complaints, fines and hearing loss. By installing Horecasense you comply with the Belgium legislation for amplified noise (Versterkt Geluid).
The Horecasense-set consists of one or more sound sensors and a display for direct insight in current sound levels. The measured levels are stored online for further analysis, for instance at a later time. More information about the system please click here.
Our system is affordable and easy to use. It is simple and quick to install, by us, a sound expert or yourself.

It is also possible to set notifications and create daily, weekly or monthly reports.
Hearing damage is a broad and social problem. Not only do entrepreneurs of music venues or of the hospitality and catering industry feel the pressure to reduce hearing loss of their public, but the public also expects local governments to control, maintain, legislate and take measures when necessary.
To create more awareness and tackle the problem a new approach is the collaboration between government and branch organizations to prevent irreversible hearing damage together. Cities such as Leuven and Brussels are good examples of this.
Together with the catering establishments, the city of Leuven made the same system mandatory for all clubs and bars. The city of Leuven chose Horecasense for many reasons. The noise levels are measured and stored online and, if necessary, reports the noise levels online to the city of Leuven. The city of Leuven limits noise nuisance for residents and prevents hearing loss for the public this way.
Thus, since 2014, Horecasense demonstrably improves noise management in Leuven at considerably lower enforcement costs.
The Brussels legislation on Amplified Sound (versterkt geluid – son amplifié) was enforced in 2018. All Brussels event organizers that amplify sound indoors or outdoors had to comply with the new legislation Amplified Sound to protect the public against noise nuisance and hearing damage.
Important aspects of this legislation were raising awareness among all concerned and informing visitors about the health risks of intense or prolonged exposure to amplified sound. The wireless Horecasense system was certified by the City of Brussels. By choosing Horecasense you meet the requirements for displaying and registration of the sound that are defined in the legislation.
