Acoustics and Noise Control
Assessing and mitigating environmental noise impacts in increasingly dense communities or evaluating acoustic comfort, sound insulation, and speech privacy in the built environment requires qualified and experienced noise and vibration experts. We support clients on noise and vibration issues for projects ranging from utility-scale renewable energy facilities to music performance venues.
Measure, Analyze, Recommend
Our environmental noise and architectural acoustics professionals provide accurate, efficient, and defensible acoustical analyses and recommendations that meet regulatory standards, industry guidance, and client goals. We work with commercial entities as well as local, state, and federal government agencies to assess potential noise and vibration impacts within and beyond a project site, both during and after construction. Our experts also advise on proper interior acoustics, mechanical system noise control, and sound insulation throughout the project life cycle, from schematic design through post-construction commissioning support.
Deep Expertise Across Markets
Supported by a team of instrument-trained field personnel and analysts proficient with the latest modeling software, our senior staff include a Board-Certified Member and 2026 Laymon A. Miller Award recipient and have spent decades providing trustworthy guidance and responsive service in a diverse array of market sectors and acoustical applications such as power, transportation, mixed-used development, and municipal utility infrastructure.

INCE Board Certified, Laymon A. Miller Award Recipient
“Clients expect us to be experts in our technical discipline, and our work certainly checks those boxes. But what really earns client trust is our being responsive to their needs and demonstrating that we grasp it’s not just the measured, predicted, or derived dBA, PPV, STC or other quantified values that are important, it’s conveying well how those values will help meet much larger and more important overall project goals.”
Connor Burke
Environmental Acoustician
“Noise analysis has a lot of repeatable steps, and I’ve spent years identifying opportunities for greater efficiency and helping turn them into new tools or enhancements. Most recently, and embracing AI support, the modeling suite I developed for our team handles the routine calculations, which frees us to focus on the harder questions: which mitigation actually works, what may affect the project, and how to explain it clearly to an agency or a community. Better tools give us more time for the problem-solving our clients really need.”
