Getting and Individual Noise Assessment

Noise impact assessments are typically done prior to new construction. They are extremely important in identifying noise sources which can affect occupied structures near the construction site. The earlier noise testing services are performed, the easier addressing the findings becomes for the construction project.

This type of noise study is performed prior to construction of new structures. This does not mean it is the only time an assessment can be done. In some cases, when a new phase of construction ensues, another assessment is warranted. Noise impact assessments are also known by these names:

Noise control consultants perform the assessment using acoustic modeling. This analyzes the site for possible high noise levels. The type of equipment being used on site is gathered as are architectural designs. Once this information is collected, the assessment provides a list of potential noise producers. This list could include:

Any of these items can affect the noise impact assessment. It is important to know and understand the type of noise emitted, as well as, the sound level from these items. Noise testing services providers often look to manufacturers who include sound levels in the paperwork of each item.

Noise control consultants utilize acoustic modeling when performing their assessment. This allows them to approximate noise levels with any noise source. This might be structural components of the actual construction or the geography of the actual site. Are there reflective structures or perhaps sound absorbing structures like foliage?

Computer technology aids in determining if any noise level might be considered excessive. If it is determined specific sources are excessive, then the situation is further analyzed to determine a plan of action. This plan is made to offer the best ways to control noise and lower it to non-excessive levels. 

While the site and the equipment operating on it, might generate noise, it is not the only source. It be noted the location of the site may have an ambient level of noise created by some of the things on the list below:
