Noise and Vibration


What we offer

A noise survey report may be required for a variety of reasons. We offer expert acoustic surveys for all your needs including:

We use professional-grade Class 1 sound level meters for all our measurements. Our compact, battery-powered equipment allows us to deploy quickly for manual or automated surveys, with minimal site requirements.

Environmental Noise Surveys

Most assessment, planning and design work begins with a survey of the existing noise climate at a site. This establishes a baseline and identifies the main noise sources to be considered.

Measurements are usually taken over several days and nights, using one or more sound level meters in suitable external locations. The data is then analysed and summarised in a noise survey report. We usually add attended measurements, to observe specific sources and check variation across the site.

Vibration Surveys

Vibration surveys are needed where a nearby railway, Underground line or industrial process may cause unacceptable noise or vibration in a new development. New infrastructure projects may also need pre-existing vibration levels recorded, to protect neighbours. Short attended surveys suit predictable sources, while baseline surveys usually need unattended monitoring over several days. We also measure vibration in buildings to confirm that building services equipment is correctly isolated and not causing re-radiated noise.
