Acoustic Consultancy by Sound Acoustics Ltd

Our acoustic consultants are IOA and ANC recognised and are here to provide professional advice on any project involving acoustics. By using our acoustic consultancy service you will receive sound advice which can also save you money. If you fail to seek the advice of a noise or acoustic consultant you may have to carry out remedial sound insulation measures which will prolong the project. This is the last thing you need when you are working to a tight budget and timescale. Similarly, you do not want your constructions to be over-designed for sound insulation or to include expensive acoustic materials that often give no better results than carefully selected standard building materials (sometimes worse). To help you avoid such situations, our acoustic consultants can offer the following services (not all services are necessary):

Review your drawings, assess the requirements to the relevant standards or documents and confirm whether the provisions for sound insulation, isolation or absorption are acceptable or not. Provide recommendations where necessary. This could be for an assessment in the following areas: Building Regulations Part E, BB93, PPG24, BS4142, Control of Noise at Work etc.

Visit site to carry out a noise survey and/or inspect the existing constructions.

Provide plain language reports with recommendations for sound insulation and/or noise control capable of achieving the project brief.

As dedicated sound testers and noise/acoustic consultants we want you to meet the project goals first time round. Our recommendations will utilise common or readily available building materials wherever possible. We do not sell any materials, acoustic or otherwise, so you can be sure that our primary aims are to provide you with a cost-effective solution and for you to come back to us for acoustic consultancy on your next project.

Sound Acoustics Ltd is a member of the ANC Registration Scheme for Sound Insulation Testing (Registration No. 164) in accordance with Approved Document E of the Building Regulations. Our Part E pre completion sound testing work will therefore be accepted by all Building Control bodies, Code for Sustainable Homes and NHBC. Great! But why choose us out of all the sound insulation testing companies and acoustic consultancies? Well, our aims are simple and we think you will like them:

• We aim to give the best prices for acoustic testing and acoustic consultancy
• A speedy and friendly sound testing and acoustic consultancy service
• Plain language reporting with the minimum of technical language required by the standards.
• Cost-effective sound insulation solutions which use standard building materials wherever possible (we are not materials salesmen and in many cases the money we have saved our clients will pay for our services on many more projects).
• A high level of service throughout your project (we do not sub-contract sound test work out to other organisations and we only use our own acoustic consultants).
