Note: This visualization is available only for the Pro and Enterprise versions of NetSpot. At this time, it is not possible to properly measure noise levels on Windows computers, this data can be gathered on some macOS computers only. If a project with a noise level heatmap was created on a macOS computer, it will be supported in NetSpot for Windows.

High noise levels can interfere with your network signal strength and cause areas of poor connectivity \u2014 or \u201cdead zones\u201d where there is no connectivity. Noise can be caused by any electronic device, including microwave ovens, cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, wireless video cameras, wireless game controllers, and fluorescent lights. Note that other Wi-Fi networks are not included when measuring noise, but they are included in the Signal-to-Interference Ratio<\/a>.
