| We also provide a trouble-shooting service to solve problems such as noise and vibration transmission, inadequate speech intelligibility and other acoustic shortcomings in existing buildings. Such problems can be seriously disruptive in the short term and are often commercially damaging in the long term. We aim to provide a rapid assessment of the problem, and to put forward practical and cost-effective proposals. Some examples include: | |
| • Designing “invisible” acoustic treatment and sound systems for listed historic buildings and scheduled monuments | |
| • Eliminating groundborne vibration from industrial machinery to nearby houses | |
| • Re-aligning and adjusting badly installed sound systems | |
| • Reducing groundborne noise to houses from rigid fencing around a multi-use games area | |
| • Reducing noise levels and unwanted reflections on concert hall stages and in orchestra pits | |
| • Tracing sound transmission through structures | |
| • Creating an orchestra shell to improve the acoustics for concerts on an opera house stage | |
| • Controlling noise from a Cambridge College boathouse to surrounding houses | |
| • Acoustic treatment and telephone headset selection to reduce noise exposure in national call centres | |
| • Reducing noise exposure of instructors and trainees in a police firing range | |
|
Whatever the problem, it will receive thoughtful and informed input from people who are genuinely interested in finding a solution. |
