Sound Planning is a team of noise consultants and
acoustic engineers; providing noise monitoring assessments, noise
consultancy services, Soundproof Enclosures, Noise Enclosures, Acoustic Louvres
Doors and acoustic engineering solutions to control
noise problems.
Our noise enclosure consultants have two areas of
expertise:
1. Noise control product design, supply and installation.
2. Noise and vibration consultancy specialising in acoustic
reports for Local Planning Authorities
(LPA’s)
NOISE
CONTROL PRODUCTS
Bespoke noise control product design projects have a specific
acoustic engineer assigned to conduct noise measurements and/or
noise calculations; acoustic engineers develop and design suitable
noise control products e.g. noise enclosures, sound proof enclosures,
acoustic Louvre doors etc. which will mitigate the noise level down
to acceptable levels in accordance with the client or LPA.

Acoustic
Enclosures: |
Sound Planning design,
supply and install acoustic enclosures, noise
enclosures, acoustic
enclosure systems and sound proof enclosures.
Acoustic enclosures are used to reduce air conditioning
external condenser noise; generator noise, air source
heat pump noise; Chiller noise; water pump noise; fan
noise etc.
Acoustic enclosures comprise of acoustic Louvres and/or
attenuators to facilitate airflow requirements and
acoustic panels for greater sound reduction. |
|
Acoustic
Louvres: |
Sound Planning design,
supply and install acoustic Louvres (acoustic louvers)
and acoustic Louvre door systems.
Acoustic Louvres are commonly used in building service
openings and for composite acoustic enclosures
facilitating sufficient airflow whilst reducing unwanted
noise.
Sound Planning’s acoustic Louvres have been performance
tested (sound reduction 63Hz to 8kHz) at Salford
University’s UKAS accredited test laboratories. The
performance figures for each Louvre type are available
on application. |

ACOUSTIC
CONSULTANCY SERVICES
Each planning project has a designated noise consultant who will
liaise with the local planning authority (LPA), be responsible
for on-site noise assessments (noise monitoring) and issue a
comprehensive acoustic report to the LPA.

PPG24 Noise
Assessments: |
Sound Planning conducts
noise assessments in accordance with PPG24: Planning and
noise: Road, Rail, Air Traffic and Industrial Noise.
The Noise Exposure Category (NEC) is determined and
single octave measurements are undertaken for the
rigorous calculation of internal noise levels (British
Standard 8233: 1999).
The façade specification e.g. Glazing, Ventilation etc.
is designed based on the predicted internal noise level
calculations. |
|
Industrial
Noise Assessment |
Sound Planning conducts
industrial noise assessments in accordance with British
Standard 4142: 1997 – Rating industrial noise affecting
mixed residential and industrial areas.
Typical projects:
• Air Conditioning Noise (external condensers)
• Kitchen Extraction Noise
• Chiller Noise
• Fan Noise
• Generator Noise
• Workshop Noise
• Duct Noise
• Construction Noise (BS 5228) |
|
Other
Noise Assessments |
Sound
Planning is also involved in a number of additional
types of noise testing and noise investigation:
• Noise Testing (The Building Regulations ADE 2000)
• Entertainment Noise
• Noise at Work
• Railway Vibration
• Wind Farm Noise (ETSU-R-97)
• Environmental Noise
• Leisure Noise
• Motorsport Noise |
