Building Acoustics

Providing a full-design service related to the building architectural and mechanical acoustics.

We provide acoustical measurement, analysis and design services to determine the required acoustical performances of existing and to-be-built walls, ceilings and slabs constructions. Construction descriptions for wall and slab assemblies, specifications, details for special acoustical isolation joints, room-within-room construction, and on-site inspections are provided to ensure effective sound isolation. The list of the related services we offer is presented below:

- Façade design to control external noise intrusion 
- Sound insulation and measurement 
- Industrial and commercial noise control 
- Speech privacy and intelligibility 
- Material and constructions – specifications and assessment 
- Selection of room finishes 
- Advice on the implementation of noise reduction measures 
- Preparation of noise control strategies and specifications 
- Sound insulation testing and advice on remedial treatment 
- Assessment of internal acoustic performance of buildings


In any acoustical environment, the impact of outside noise and vibration sources (traffic, subways, trains, aircraft) and in-house noise and vibration sources (room-to-room transmission, HVAC systems) have to be carefully studied and then minimized for comfort, productivity and privacy reasons.

Room Acoustics

Providing an environment that enhances the listening experience of any person in a room

Room Acoustics refers to the behavior of sound in sensible spaces and to the design of rooms to enhance the listening experience of any person in these areas. A desired acoustical environment varies according to the type of activity that is to take place in that space. Recording, mastering, stereo or surround mixing, speech and music playback can require different and variable acoustic environments. Room Acoustics is the practice of studying and designing these environments.

The placement of surface treatments and special acoustic materials significantly affect in-room hearing conditions. For example, sonic integrity in a recording studio, reverberation characteristics in an auditorium, and speech intelligibility in a conference room. 
We provide services to determine room acoustics criteria, surface treatment recommendations and detailed measurement.

Over the past decades, the science of room acoustics has made significant advances.

Vibration Control 

Reducing the impact of vibration to acceptable levels

We establish noise criteria for each space, prepare guidelines for the mechanical engineer and offer complete HVAC design services for technical facilities to assure that the noise criteria are met.
We are experts in the field of noise and vibration control and have been collaborating with engineers and architects in several projects: Light rail-Tramway, metro, high speed and heavy rail, which produce high levels of noise and vibration transmitted through the ground and causing significant noise nuisance in major city infrastructure.

We also provide the following services when it comes to vibration control: 

- Selection of noise and vibration criteria 
- Anti-vibration measures 
- Noise control measures 
- Specialist problem solving 
- Building damage 
- Demolition 
- Human comfort 
- Anti-vibration solutions 
- Short-term and long-term monitoring


Any audible noise from mechanical and electrical systems will detract from (and mask) the sound of a performance, a recording or any form of media playback or presentation. Therefore, noise from mechanical systems that travels through ductwork as well as through walls and floors has to be controlled and minimized.

Environmental Noise

Designing practical solutions to avoid unwanted and harmful noise (i.e. Transportation means or noise created by human activities)

Outdoor noise protection is therefore required to protect the near construction and avoid any disturbance. 

Below is the list of the related services we offer: 

- Planning conditions – compliance and negotiation 
- Noise Impact Assessments (including Environmental Impact Assessment) 
- Public Inquiries- expert witness presentations 
- Statutory noise nuisance – mitigation and advice 
- Demolition of noise and vibration – monitoring and control 
- Noise control measures – method statements, strategies and specifications 
- Measurement surveys and reporting 
- Advice on legislation


Outdoor noise sources such as traffic noise or noisy equipment can be frustrating. 

Acoustic Measurements 

Measuring the sound levels using a sound level meter

Loudspeaker-system, analysis of reverberation characteristics and background noise levels in a room, and quantifying the sound isolation of a boundary system are all critical to facilitate and increase the effectiveness of the design or remodeling process. We use sophisticated measurement equipment, the most up-to-date acoustical data-collection.

We are specialized in collecting required measurement data for documentation (technical or legal purposes) and present a useful interpretation of measurement results and their consequences.

The quantification, qualification and analysis of acoustical parameters are critical for all acoustical phenomena in all kinds of environments. 

Acoustic 3D Modeling

Testing virtually the acoustic performance of a critical space 

It is possible to see how the room will perform and bring the project to life using acoustic modeling software. 
Our engineers with the use of the acoustic 3D modeling software, provide an invaluable set of tools for all aspects of professional practice, from detailed, realistic modeling and simulation of venue acoustics and sound system performance to informative and engaging client presentations, as well as professional data assessment and verification.

This will allow our team to choose the best acoustic solution with the right choices of material that suits your interior design before construction, to match with the acoustic specifications of the project.

Today with room acoustic computer models we are capable of designing and creating the perfect acoustic environment.
