Noise Assessment Services
Noise pollution can have a significant impact on the quality of life, the environment, and public health. Our professional noise assessment services provide detailed evaluations and actionable solutions tailored to various environments and industries. Below, we highlight the core aspects of our services.

Environmental Noise Assessment
Environmental noise assessment involves the systematic evaluation of noise levels to understand their impact on surrounding areas. These assessments are essential for:
- Identifying harmful outdoor sounds and their sources.
- Establishing the noise climate of specific areas.
- Assessing compliance with current legislation and noise standards.
- Reporting on noise propagation and its potential effects on local ecosystems and communities.
Our assessments leverage advanced tools to provide noise level measurements and evaluate the lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL), no observed effect level (NOEL), and significant observed adverse effect level (SOAEL). Comprehensive reports are prepared to support environmental impact assessments (EIA) and guide decision-making.
Noise Consultancy Services
Our consultancy services are designed to provide specialised support for noise assessment and management. We assist clients in:
- Conducting environmental noise assessments and occupational noise assessments.
- Preparing noise surveys, noise risk assessments, and quantitative noise risk assessments.
- Complying with noise-related legislation, including BS8233 Guidance on Sound Insulation and Noise Reduction for Buildings and the Noise Policy Statement for England.
- Supporting planning applications with expert reports and evidence.
Noise Monitoring and Surveys
Accurate noise monitoring is critical for understanding and managing noise impacts. Our services include:
- Utilising advanced noise monitoring equipment such as handheld noise monitors and dosemeters.
- Conducting environmental noise measurements for various applications.
- Applying acoustic models to predict noise pollution levels.
- Preparing detailed analyses using sound level meters to support quantitative noise risk assessments.
These assessments allow precise evaluation of noise exposure.
Noise and Planning
Noise considerations are vital in planning processes. We help stakeholders incorporate noise management into their projects by:
- Preparing noise impact assessments tailored to project needs and industry requirements.
- Advising on BS4142 Methods for Rating and Assessing Industrial and Commercial Sound.
- Developing noise action plans to address potential issues.
- Ensuring integration of good acoustic design into planning policies.
Our services support sustainable development, ensuring that projects meet noise standards while minimising their impact on the acoustic environment and addressing statutory nuisance concerns.
Mitigating Noise Impacts
Mitigation strategies are essential for minimising the adverse effects of noise from existing and new sources. Our services focus on:
- Implementing sound barriers and insulation solutions.
- Redesigning spaces to reduce unwanted sound propagation.
- Offering guidance on noise standards and good acoustic design.
- Collaborating on planning applications to reduce noise risks.
With expert consultation, we ensure that mitigation measures are practical, cost-effective, and aligned with industry standards.
