Sound Testing Manchester
Sound Insulation Testing Manchester
Noise Control Solutions is a highly reputable company, offering sound insulation testing and consultancy services to residential as well as commercial clients in Manchester. Our experts work with architects, builders, contractors, and developers on projects of all sizes, helping them understand the effects of their building design on the acoustics for those who will live or work in the surrounding areas.
We thoroughly inspect the premises before offering suggestions. This empowers the concerned party to make the right decision without fear of compromise. Assessing how a proposed design affects a property’s acoustics is crucial. It allows builders to finalise designs without compromising quality.
Our sound testing experts are vastly experienced, delivering accurate sound testing for project planning in the building sector. We collaborate with top businesses throughout Manchester and other parts of the North West, UK. We ensure compliance with current sound standards, and minimise noise disruptions in surrounding areas.
What is Sound Insulation Testing?
Sound testing ensures that the final structure of residential and commercial projects attenuates noise properly. During acoustic testing, our experts take readings of airborne and impact noise. The results help us determine the necessary soundproofing to comply with current building regulations.
Pre-Completion Sound Testing in Manchester
Newly-built or converted dwelling houses, flats, or residential rooms, such as student accommodation and hotels, must undergo impact and airborne sound insulation tests after full construction. Noise levels should adhere to current building regulations. Exceptions include newly-built developments and detached houses registered with the Robust Details scheme.
Our testing is accredited by SITMA, and more details can be found here.

Airborne Sound Insulation Testing in Manchester
When unwanted sound transfers through floors or walls, diagnosing the issue is the first step. Our airborne sound tests pinpoint the source of the problem, guiding us to recommend effective soundproofing solutions.
If noise penetrates a façade due to road traffic or other sources, upgrading sound insulation is important. Similarly, if noise emanates from a façade due to music or other sources, improving insulation levels is vital.
Our company vision is simple
Impact Sound Insulation Testing
When noise results from impact sound from a floor above, establishing the existing sound insulation level is the initial step. After this, we recommend appropriate remedial measures.
Reverberation Time
A building’s reverberation time significantly affects speech intelligibility and music clarity. It also impacts sound levels in open spaces, influencing speech privacy in offices and sound deterioration in workshops. To solve this, measuring the existing reverberation time is essential, guiding us to establish the right absorbent treatment to lower it.
Indoor Ambient Noise Levels
Ambient noise levels inside a space can profoundly affect its occupants, influencing speech intelligibility, causing sleep disturbance, and affecting acoustic privacy. Measuring existing indoor noise levels is the first step towards establishing effective mitigation measures.
Building Services and Sound
Although equipment operation naturally creates some noise, excessive noise levels in building services can impact internal and external spaces, becoming intrusive or a noise nuisance. To resolve this, we first measure the existing building services’ noise levels via a sound test, allowing us to identify appropriate mitigation measures.
