In contrast to many other environmental problems, noise pollution is on the increase. Objective measurements of sound levels and design of measures to mitigate excessive or nuisance noise are an indispensable part of any noise protection programme. Standards and regulations specify allowable limits and the frequency at which parameters must be measured.

We offer noise measurement and assessment for noise nuisance investigation, site evaluation and planning, environmental assessment, public inquiries, and enforcement. Our noise specialists have extensive experience within these areas and as such provide not only acoustics consultancy services but also policy development and expert witness services in these fields.

Services Provided

We provide noise prediction capabilities using the Bruel & Kjaer Noise Prediction Software. This allows noise prediction from proposed developments (including highways and industrial developments) and allows changes to be modelled and manipulated, so that the effect of changing the physical environment can be seen before real
measurements or potentially costly contingencies are undertaken.

  • Baseline noise surveys
  • Environmental & industrial noise surveys
  • Acoustic noise modelling
  • Prediction of noise from construction sites and quarries
  • Noise from industrial installation
  • Permanent noise nuisance complaints using BS4142
  • Assessment of concert, exhibition and sports arenas
  • Waste permit, IPPC & waste licence compliance monitoring
  • Expert witness in nuisance cases
  • Noise assessments as part of IPPC & waste licence requirements
  • Occupational noise assessment
  • Noise assessments for inclusion in environmental impact statements
  • Noise assessment and prediction models for road developments.
