How PDA Acoustic Consultants Can Help You

Noise Level: Experiencing unnecessarily high noise levels can be physically and mentally draining. We may expect a certain level of noise from nearby roads or neighbouring properties, but excessive noise can be irritating and distracting, and at worst raise stress levels, cause anxiety, and contribute to health issues such as high blood pressure.

The noise level and sound quality of a building, both residential and commercial, can create a positive or negative atmosphere. This ultimately affects residents’ quality of life or the productivity and well-being of employees occupying the building.

Modern building materials such as glass, concrete substructures and tiled floors have hard, smooth surfaces that act to reflect noise rather than absorb it. This means that sound will reverberate around a room, making it difficult for people to relax, concentrate or communicate effectively.

How acoustic consultants can help

Acoustic consultants such as PDA Ltd are employed to consult with property developers, construction companies, business owners, hotels, educational institutes, hospitals and more. 

Our team work closely with architects, planners and building engineers during the planning stage of new-build projects to ensure a suitable acoustic environment. We advise on materials and strategic acoustic principles to improve sound quality and reduce excessive noise levels. We can look at building designs to assess the quality and effectiveness of sound-attenuating materials and make alternative recommendations if improvements can be made. 

Health and Safety are a high priority to our team as we work alongside architects and contractors on hazardous building sites. Therefore we are accredited through Construction Line (Gold), CHAS and CQMS.

We can also collaborate with you to improve the acoustics of your existing building. If you are a business owner and your employees struggle to hold conversations or find it difficult to concentrate due to the noise levels, we can help remedy this. Our consultants are members of the Institute of Acoustics and are ANC (Association of Noise Consultants) Registered, giving clients confidence in the results we deliver.
