Based in UAE, Aircoustics is an independent engineering firm offering acoustic and vibration consulting since 2006. We provide acoustical consulting services in areas most affected by noise and vibration issues – that is, architectural, environmental, residential, institutional, commercial, and industrial workplaces.
Building acoustics affect our everyday lives, from bedrooms to classrooms to workspaces. At the detailed design stage, we help ensure that buildings achieve acceptable levels of sound insulation, reverberation, indoor ambient noise levels, and speech intelligibility. Don’t let poor architectural acoustic design affect your health and well-being.
At Aircoustics, we strive to balance intuitive skills with science and engineering to provide solutions for many common issues such as:
We take pride in meeting our client’s acoustic needs starting with site measurements, detailed evaluations, and innovative solutions, whether the facility is an apartment, villa, office, meeting room, conference room, classroom, theater, multipurpose auditorium, gymnasium, boardroom, courtroom or factory.
Architectural acoustic design incorporates noise reducing concepts in details for buildings. Aircoustics experienced acoustic consultants can provide solutions geared towards sound propagation, speech intelligibility, and music enhancement and provide options to mitigate noise within the built environment.
Noise can be controlled in a building with proper acoustic design. By giving attention to acoustical considerations in room arrangement planning, placement of windows, building height, balconies, and courtyards and interior finishes, the architect may achieve significant noise impact reduction without costly remedial acoustical construction.
Aircoustics is, therefore, able to undertake responsibility for all aspects of the acoustic design of buildings that includes Room Acoustic, Reflections, Reverberation, Absorption, Noise Control, Sound Transmission, and Background Noise Levels.
Acoustical design involves the use of building materials and techniques to reduce noise transmission through:
This area includes many of the new and traditional “soundproofing” concepts. If required, Acoustics services can include supervision of the installation of noise and vibration control products and testing on completion of the building. In the case of dwellings, such testing would include the measurement and appraisal of sound insulation for the purposes of Building Regulations approval.
Aircoustics plays a significant role in designing and evaluating building services systems by determining what levels of induced noise will be constructive to occupants, according to room function. The team can then ensure that suitable acoustic qualities are achieved by the system design refinement and precise specifications.
We evaluate supply, intake, and radiated noise and generated vibration of HVAC units from the equipment’s location. Predictions based on ducting and air distribution elements provide a starting point for recommendations to achieve the Noise Criteria for specific spaces. Recommendations typically include:
Where noise radiating from building services plant is likely to affect nearby properties (as many roof-mounted installations can do), Aircoustics consultants measure, determine, and negotiate appropriate design criteria on behalf of the client. Noise emission specifications can then be determined for each item of equipment, and, where necessary, we can design and specify noise control measures to minimize noise breakout.
Environmental noise control addresses noise and vibration concerns related to unwanted outdoor noise. Aircoustics Acoustic Consultants perform tests and analyses to determine the impact of a noise source on the environment and recommend options to mitigate the noise.
The mitigation of noise may be addressed at either the source of the noise or at the receiver. Examples of common environmental noise sources that may require an acoustic consultant are:
The Aircoustics services include noise level testing, noise impact studies, site analysis, noise barrier specifications, and construction specifications.
Workplace health and safety is a vital issue. Considering the long-term impact of higher noise levels that can have on the health and safety of the employees, Aircoustics can help reduce unwanted industrial noise.
Ongoing noise disturbance affects human health. Noise from businesses has a significant impact on local communities. It not only disturbs sleep at night but also does harm to the workers at the workplace.
Noise exposure is the common, yet preventable cause of occupational hearing loss. Whilst occupational noise-induced hearing loss is entirely preventable, once acquired, it is irreversible. Excessive noise may cause sleep deprivation, anxiety, and stress. Excessive industrial noise is a big issue for businesses to comply with the Local Authority Regulations.
Therefore, it is more important than ever before to look after people’s health and avoid costly compensation claims.
Acoustic consultant at Aircoustics can determine the level of noise exposure and the impact it could have on hearing conservation through testing methods and calculations. We can advise in the selection and/or installation of new equipment or can offer suggestions as to how to mitigate existing noise or reduce noise exposure. We can provide consultancy services and soundproofing solutions that will assist you in delivering a quieter workplace for industries including:
