Environmental Noise Measurement and Assessment

Sound Planning Limited is an acoustic consultancy based in Surrey specialising in noise monitoring, noise measurement, noise testing and noise assessment, working with clients with planning noise problems throughout the South East and the UK.

Each noise test will be conducted by trained acoustic engineers to the relevant British Standard or guidance from the Local Authority i.e. PPG24, BS4142, BS8233, SPG10 etc.

Sound Planning issues a comprehensive acoustic report, analysing any environmental noise problems and formulating a viable noise mitigation strategy when required.

Environmental Noise Surveys:

Including the more prevalent PPG24 (Planning Policy Guidance) and BS4142 (Mixed Commercial and Residential) form an essential part of the planning process for commercial (and sometimes private) projects [see Noise Surveys for further noise assessments that Sound Planning can assist with]. 

Sound Planning uses Casella CEL490 Type/Class 1 UKAS calibrated sound level meters (one third octave analysis capability) for noise assessments. Sound Planning engineers calibrate SLM's in the 'field' before and after noise tests.


Attenuator Design and Supply:

The control of excessive noise levels requires an appropriate noise mitigation strategy, strategies include noise control products such as Rectangular and Circular Duct Attenuators, Bend Attenuators, Cross Talk Attenuators, Acoustic Louvres, Acoustic Enclosures and Barriers. 

Sound Planning designs the product according to dB(A), NR or NC requirements. Design services assess HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems in terms of existing attenuation and attenuation requirements to meet specified noise levels. Sound Planning can provide the insertion losses or standard reduction indexes as well as pressure drops created as a result of installation (air flow data will be required).

Coverage:

Sound Planning predominantly covers London and the South East of England, however noise consultancy (noise assessment) rates are competitive throughout England, Wales and Scotland.

Background:

The company was founded 25 October 2007
