At 78 dB, reportedly the lowest operating noise level in the industry, the VP6200 falls well below the maximum sound allowable without hearing protection in an eight-hour period, according to the OSHA Hearing Conservation Program. As a comparison, the previously installed Canon IR110 (of which there were two, side-by-side) were rated at 85 dB each—right at the legal limit for required hearing protection.
