Noise Control
Why must noise be controlled?
"Type this question in your search engine, and all the results will relate to HUMAN HEALTH!"
Excessive noise has proven to cause health problems, and there are several complementary regimes that regulate noise in the UK:
... and the HSE enforces noise at work with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005.
Going further afield, you also have US EPA, European Environment Agency and the World Health Organisation stating that human health is affected by excessive noise.
How our noise control consultants help you with noise problems and regulations
As noise consultants and noise engineers we solve noise problems for you by
providing noise assessments and reports to local planning authorities (LPAs), i.e. councils and the Environmental Agency
For planning applications etc.
and we resolve noise problems by
providing mitigation measures and advice, and
designing and managing the physical solution too.
Noise Engineering Services
"As both mechanical engineers and acoustical engineers, we engineer solutions for noise problems."
From determining the noise power levels of equipment to reducing noise of equipment and machinery by engineering design, we have expertise and experience in solving several unwanted noise and sound sources.
Noise Control
Understanding the mechanism of noise and how it originates makes it easier to control noise.
As stated in the BS4142 noise assessment standard, the most effective way to mitigate noise is at the source; in most cases it is also the most financially efficient approach.
We are experienced mechanical and acoustical engineers with expertise to control, mitigate and resolve noise problems.
Noise mitigation of machinery
As mechanical and acoustical engineers we understand the source of noise in machinery and equipment. The most cost efficient approach to unwanted noise, is to control the noise at the source, and by engineering design, we are able to achieve this objective.
Noise modelling
Noise modelling is a powerful tool to illustrate the noise in the immediate and surrounding areas in the workplace and in the outdoors.
Structure-borne sound
Noise in buildings is a nuisance and an irritation to the staff in many companies, and residents in many buildings.
We investigate such noise nuisance and then mitigate the source using both our vibration and noise expertise.
Case study: Structure-borne sound in a penthouse
Noise at work
Noise in the workplace is unwanted and sometimes excessive to what ear defenders can protect. In reference to such situations, we are able to put mitigation in place.
BS4142
We perform BS4142 noise assessments from plant installations to planning applications.
We've completed over 100 assessments over the last few years for our customers to acquire planning permission.
