What do acoustic consultants do?
They assess, design and manage sound environments — from construction projects and schools to industrial sites. Environoise provides tailored acoustic consulting to ensure compliance, comfort and performance.

Source of noise
Road traffic — the contour follows the carriageway, widening where the ground is open.

Sheet 01 / What we do
Five ways to find the line.
Every service below ends in the same place: a level you can defend, and a drawing that shows where the level came from.
Five services, one method: measure the site, model what it will do, design for it, then prove it on completion.
“We are a pro-active business providing well written concise reports to help with your project.”
- 01 Sound Insulation Testing Airborne and impact sound testing for new and refurbished residential developments with shared walls or floors — the evidence that the separations perform. Approved Document E · residential
- 02 Construction Design Advice Acoustic targets set early, while the drawings can still change — separation, reverberation, plant and façade. Design stage · architects & developers
- 03 Noise Surveys Environmental and industrial noise measured on site — for planning applications, compliance, and the neighbours who ask first. Planning · environmental · industrial
- 04 Noise & Vibration at Work Risk Assessment Exposure measured where people actually work, against the regulations that decide when hearing protection stops being enough. Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005
- 05 Noise Modelling A computer model of the site, so the level at a bedroom window can be predicted before anything is built — and compared against the alternative. Predict · map · compare options
Sheet 02 / Sectors
Ten kinds of site.
One method.
The same survey, the same model, the same line on the drawing — applied to whatever the building is for. These are the ten sectors on their own list.
- 01 Planning Noise impact assessments for applications, appeals and committee.
- 02 Hotel Noise Plant, deliveries and late bars — and the bedrooms above them.
- 03 Residential Separation between homes, and the line a scheme has to stay behind.
- 04 Office Acoustic Solutions Speech privacy, reverberation and the meeting room next door.
- 05 Healthcare Sleep, privacy and speech intelligibility on the ward.
- 06 Education Acoustics (BB93) BB93 is the standard every new teaching space is measured against.
- 07 Leisure & Entertainment Music, kitchens and the neighbours who were there first.
- 08 Industrial & Environmental Plant and process noise, measured at the boundary.
- 09 Infrastructure Road, rail and the schemes that reshape a valley.
- 10 Maritime Ports and vessels — noise that crosses water and fence lines.

Sheet 04 / Questions
Asked before
the first survey.
These are four of the questions Environoise already answers on their site. The wording is condensed; the answers are theirs.
When is an acoustic survey required?
Typically during the planning stages for new developments, to measure environmental or industrial noise impacts, or to support noise mitigation strategies — and to help a project meet building regulations and noise control targets.
Do you provide acoustic designs for schools or commercial buildings?
Yes — for schools, offices, healthcare and leisure facilities. The recommendations are tailored to regulatory standards and user comfort, with a focus on sustainable acoustics for long-term value.
Can sound solution consultants help with existing noise problems?
Yes. They diagnose existing noise issues and provide practical, cost-effective mitigation — whether it is machinery noise, neighbour complaints or poor room acoustics.
