What do noise consultants really do

Noise pollution is becoming quite a big issue in most built-up environments these days and recently I’ve begun to think that maybe an noise consultant could do something to mitigate sound levels.

As it turns out, incessant noise pollution is not such a problem as sudden peaks and troughs although in the work place, continuous noise that isn’t particularly loud is quite often a problem and give rise to loss of hearing.

Perhaps one of the biggest human aspects of noise is that it has a detrimental impact on sleep quality and steady low level sleep deprivation is extremely bad for psychological and thus physical health.

For an Acoustic engineer this will be familiar territory. They use the latest acoustic technology to quantify sound levels & pin point sources of noise. By designing buildings to absorb noise energy they can significantly enhance the quality of life for people and thus improve their well-being too.

A common problem is due to aeroplane noise levels, especially in proximity to busy airports like Charles de Gaulle where aircraft come in low over inhabited areas. Even though there are usually controls on take off and landing times, major international and national airports tend to operate nearly 24 hours a day. Noise consultants are being used by airport protestors now to record volume levels and then to act as experts in environmental impact reports.
