Managing industrial noise to ensure health, safety and environmental compliance.
Noise consultants
Noise control has become an increasing concern for owners and operators of production facilities. Excessive noise can cause hearing damage to workers, affect wildlife or annoy neighbours.
Our noise consultants conduct noise surveys and monitoring, provide assessments and engineer noise controls.
We have more than 40 years of experience controlling industrial noise from design to operations.
Environmental and workplace noise risks
Environmental and occupational regulations at city, state and federal levels frequently mandate a noise impact assessment for new facilities.
Potential risks such as hearing damage to workers or exceeding environmental noise limits can necessitate rework, modifications or the implementation of noise control measures on existing facilities.

Environmental noise
New resource projects must assess environmental impacts and show that noise emissions can be controlled. Noise is no longer tolerated as a by-product of development, especially near communities.
Addressing noise issues early is crucial, as resolving them later can be costly and complex.
- Design: Noise and acoustical design studies
- Assess: Noise surveys and assessments
- Manage: Noise management and control
Workplace noise
Production companies must minimise excessive noise impact on their workforce.
Identifying hazards and conducting periodic noise surveys is only the first step. Managing daily noise exposure requires comprehensive policies, procedures and guidelines to reduce noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) to as-low-as-reasonably-practical (ALARP) levels.
- Monitor: Workplace noise monitoring
- Manage: Noise management programmes and procedures
- Comply: Health & safety noise compliance
Noise monitoring
Being a responsible neighbour and maintaining positive relationships with community stakeholders is critical for safeguarding your operational license or planning expansions.
Our AI-supported noise monitoring system can classify sound emissions in real-time and as accurately as human experts to automate noise assessments and improve productivity while protecting your license to operate.
Noise mitigation
Noisy equipment can raise the risk of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and indicate operational issues.
We quantify noise emissions and transmission paths using measurement techniques such as sound-pressure level, sound intensity, FFT analysis and vibration analysis.
Our practical noise control engineering solutions take into account impacts on your processes, maintenance and HSE responsibilities.
