If you have a noise problem at work, maybe it’s a noisy piece of equipment or perhaps its noise transfer between offices.
Sound Solution Consultants Ltd can offer sensible practical and effective advice to help identify the problem and then suggest a practical way forward to help address the problem.
Our approach is a no nonsense one, we do not believe in testing for testing sake, in many situations, the solution is logical and simple procedures can reduce the problem to a more manageable level.
Industrial Noise surveys are required in many situations, they are used to determine the level of sound produced by a process or piece of equipment. There are various noise standards used to determine different types of noise sources, these include but are not limited to:
BS4142:1997 – Rating industrial noise affecting mixed residential and industrial areas
The Environmental Protection Act (1990) is the governing public legislation act that is relevant when assessing a statutory noise nuisance between private dwellings in the UK.
Sound insulation works are estimated using calculations in BS8233:1999 Sound insulation and noise reduction for buildings – code of practice.
World Health Organisation – Night Noise Guidelines for Europe (2009)
To name but a few.
The noise survey is designed to assess what is the level of potential risk with the proposed operation and what measures are required to limit the potential impact upon local residents.
Typical types of industrial noise survey include:
• BS4142 Air conditioning noise survey
• BS4142 Air condenser noise survey
• BS4142 Generator noise survey
• BS4142 Fan noise survey
• BS4142 Duct noise survey
• BS4142 Flue noise survey
• BS4142 Kitchen extraction noise survey
• BS4142 Chiller noise survey
• BS4142 Water pump noise survey
• BS4142 Mechanical lift noise survey
A noise survey would also be required when building or proposing a new factory, wind turbine, or other power generating plant, such a complex may in itself have several noise sources that will all need assessing.
