This paper describes the development of a small and convenient measurement system used for measuring the sound pressure level (SPL) at rock festivals. Over the years more than 500 test persons have worn the measurement system and thus contributed significantly to the data collection. Via a dedicated software tool suite, statistical analysis can be performed on the measurement data. Examples of measurement data are shown and discussed.
