When evaluating a site for compliance with the HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) guidelines, there are generally two steps. Predict the noise levels outside the proposed building If necessary, predict the interior noise level and insure the components (windows, walls, roof, doors) provide interior noise levels below the required DNL 45…
We have received several inquiries about constructing an acoustics testing lab. There have been varying degrees of development of the plans we have received. I thought this could be helpful, so I put together a list of factors to consider when designing an acoustics lab:
Sound walls, noise barriers, acoustical walls are an important tool for environmental noise reduction. Here are 9 tips to maximize the effectiveness of these walls.
In this blog, I will discuss environmental noise projects. I will use cell towers as an example because we have had a lot of these projects in the last couple of year but these principles apply to any environmental noise project. The primary noise sources at a cell tower are AC units and generators.…
