Acoustic Design Reviews
Echo and Reverberation Control
Echoes and can pose big challenges for understanding speech within rooms. Lots of echoes in the same space causes reverb (the effect you hear in a large hall or church). This causes issues for speech, communications, PA systems and hi-fi audio.
Reverberation Control
Acoustic spaces for education, sport and music events tend to suffer most. This is due to their large size & hard walls surfaces. Similarly, this is also true of open plan offices and call centres, which also suffer from poor acoustics, leading to communication issues.
NCSL provide acoustic consultancy services to assess and optimise echo in existing spaces. We also provide specifications to ensure correct designed of proposed spaces.
At NCSL, we have over a 15 years of experience in reverberation testing and control over a wide range of applications and venues.
Recording Studio Design
Our design reviews ensure legal compliance and good acoustic performance. This is useful for clients involved in industrial, commercial, or domestic properties.
The review service focuses on the noise reduction of walls or floors, to help with sound insulation testing. It is also used to optimise the layout of sites to aid noise control.
We conduct reviews and surveys to BS 8233. To help ensure that properties meet acoustic performance targets.
Acoustic performance review at the design stage of a project is much more cost-effective compared to post completion. This is due to the extra cost of fitting of corrective measures and the removal of existing structures. In addition, we also design recording studios and venues for live sound.
NCSL also offer enclosure design services. This allows accurate specification of enclosures for noisy machines.
We specialise in acoustic reviews for:
- Approved Document E (Resistance to the passage of sound).
- Sound Insulation Testing.
- BS 4142 Noise Impact Assessment.
- Robust Details.
- Building Bulleting 93 (BB93 – Acoustic Design of Schools).
- BS 8233 (Sound insulation and noise reduction for buildings).
- Bespoke Projects.
Acoustic design is important in many aspects of our lives, from concert halls to classrooms. Whether you want to reduce noise in your home or require a special speaker cabinet in your high-end home theatre, acoustic design is crucial to getting the sound you want. We provide acoustic design services for any building or environment to lower the impact of noise and vibrations on the surrounding environment.
Any construction project can be a noisy one, with the potential to intrude on the activities and interfere with the rights of neighbours. In one project, for example, the routine blast of a jackhammer can be so disruptive that the neighbours cause a fuss before construction has fully started.
So, what can you do to minimise the noise your building project will cause? Enlisting the services of an acoustic building design company can help. Acoustic building design companies such as Noise Control Solutions Limited specialise in preparing construction plans to ensure the building does not disrupt any neighbours.
Noise Impact Assessment
If you are involved in the design of acoustically inefficient buildings, or you work on the acoustics of existing buildings, you may often wonder about the cause of the acoustical problems. The best way is to conduct a sound survey of the space before and after the construction to assess the impact of the new construction. This helps to determine the effectiveness of the noise mitigation measures, and also helps to design the new construction to be more noise-resistant.
