Sound Advice by Sound Acoustics Ltd
You should seek professional advice from an IOA and ANC recognised acoustic consultant before starting any project where acoustics and sound insulation is an issue. We can provide sound advice and save you money. The alternative could lead to expensive remedial sound insulation measures and a prolonging of the project when you are already working to a tight budget and timescale. Taken to the other extreme you could end up with over-designed constructions for sound insulation that include expensive acoustic materials that give no better results than carefully selected standard building materials. To help you avoid such situations, we can offer the following services (not all services are necessary):
- Review your drawings and confirm whether the sound insulation proposals are acceptable or not.
- Visit site to carry out inspection of the existing constructions and to discuss options for sound insulation.
- Provide plain language reports with recommendations for sound insulation and/or noise control capable of achieving the Building Regulations or any other project brief.
As noise consultants and as a dedicated sound testing organisation we want you to meet the project goals first time round. Our recommendations will utilise common or readily available building materials although we can recommend proprietary sound insulation systems where they are really necessary. 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 sound insulation solution and for you to come back to us for acoustic consultancy on your next project.
A little bit more about Sound Acoustics Ltd
Sound Acoustics Ltd is a member of the Institute of Acoustics and the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC). We are also members of the ANC Registration Scheme for Sound Insulation Testing (member 164) with testers in England and Wales. We are here to offer you good value and a friendly service in all areas of acoustics. Our reports are written using plain and concise English and are not padded for extra "value". In other words we aim to give you what you really need to meet your project brief.
Our head office is near Ipswich; with the A12 and A14 nearby this is an ideal location for serving London, the Home Counties, East Anglia and the Midlands. However, our reputation has spread since our foundation in 2005 and we now have clients in the South, Southwest, Wales and the Channel Islands. We have recently appointed a sound tester in Cardiff to help us serve our clients in these areas. Despite our relatively short existence the two top consultants have a combined experience of over 25 years purely in acoustic consultancy and sound testing.
Whether you are an architect, a builder, a developer, a planner, a private individual, or part of a business or government body, we are able to help you. Please call today to discuss your project and to get a quote over the phone.
