Noise & vibration in the environment
Modern living does not get any quieter…..excessive exposure to environmental noise can cause serious harm to human health as well as interfere with people’s daily activities at school, work, home and during leisure time.
At 24 Acoustics we understand environmental noise, how it is created, how to assess it and how to manage it.
Tackling our clients’ environmental noise and vibration emissions is a key area of our work. From environmental impact assessments in support of planning applications (for developments that generate noise or may themselves be sensitive to existing ambient noise) to mitigating or defending existing noise or vibration emissions, we offer a wide range of highly specialised services, including:
For baseline studies, planning and enforcement, management of environmental noise for a wide range of applications and industries.
