Product Noise Testing, Isolation, and Quieter Product Design

Manufacturers and product developers must consider noise emissions and vibration performance for product optimization, and in cases, to meet regulatory requirements. Our firm provides precision design, testing and assessments to evaluate the acoustic/vibration performance of innovative consumer products, industrial machinery, and building components.

Combining our years of experience with precision sound level meters and vibration analysis tools, we assess products against industry standards and regulatory limits. We also assist in quieter product design by recommending noise control materials, damping solutions, and structural modifications to improve performance and marketability. Whether for prototype development, compliance testing, or product refinement, our expertise helps clients create efficient, low-noise solutions that stand out in the marketplace.

Evaluation of Noise Control Materials and Building Components

Selecting the right noise control materials and building components is essential for achieving effective sound isolation and compliance with acoustic performance standards. Our firm provides laboratory and field testing to assess the effectiveness of wall/floor-ceiling assemblies, insulation, glazing, doors, and other building elements in reducing airborne and impact noise transmission.

Using ASTM and ISO-compliant testing methods, we evaluate Sound Transmission Class (STC), Impact Insulation Class (IIC), and absorption coefficients to verify product performance. Our expertise helps architects, engineers, and manufacturers select the most effective noise control solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, ensuring projects meet regulatory and occupant comfort requirements.

Development of Noise and Vibration Policies and Technical Standards

Regulatory bodies, municipalities, and private organizations require clear, enforceable noise and vibration policies and by-Laws to manage any and all noise concerns effectively. Our firm assists in developing customized noise and vibration policies, technical standards, and best practice guidelines tailored to the needs of municipalities, industrial sectors, and property management groups.

We provide policy drafting, by-Law assistance and consulting, regulatory analysis, and technical advisory services to align new standards with applicable guidelines, and industry best practices. Whether creating municipal noise enforcement frameworks, updating zoning requirements, or establishing corporate noise control policies, we ensure that guidelines are practical, enforceable, and based on sound acoustical science.

Research on Noise

Impact and Mitigation Strategies

Advancing noise control solutions require in-depth research and analysis to understand environmental noise impacts and develop effective mitigation strategies. Our firm conducts independent research, policy evaluations, and case studies to assess the effects of transportation, industrial, mechanical, and urban noise sources on communities and built environments.

Using prediction modeling, field data collection, and experimental testing, we analyze noise propagation, human exposure levels, and the effectiveness of various mitigation techniques. Our research supports municipalities, government agencies, and private sector clients in making data-driven decisions for policy development, urban planning, and noise reduction initiatives.
