Environmental
Noise Prediction Study
Traffic noise calculations account for traffic flow patterns, speed limits, terrain, distance from the road, and the car/truck ratio. Equipment noise is either measured or estimated, based on known sources for a specific type of equipment. A Acoustics predicts sound levels from environmental sources, such as outdoor equipment and traffic. We then evaluate the predicted sound levels for compatibility with the proposed use and for compliance with all existing land use restrictions and federal, state and local regulations. Where required, we also make recommendations for noise attenuation.
Ambient Noise Study
To establish the ambient noise levels for a proposed project, A Acoustics measures and assesses the existing noise levels, comparing them with applicable land use restrictions and federal, state, and local noise regulations. Based on these analyses, A Acoustics predicts how ambient conditions will affect the proposed project. We also recommend methods for reducing noise levels to comply with all pertinent regulations.
Acoustical Regulations
Excessive noise can seriously diminish the quality of life in neighborhoods and communities. A Acoustics measures, analyzes, and compares the impact of emitted sound against applicable state and local regulations. Where violations occur, we recommend strategies for limiting noise emissions. A Acoustics also performs follow-up studies to ensure the desired results are attained.
