Noise and Vibration
Atmospheric Quality offers comprehensive noise and vibration measurement and modelling services to help clients assess and manage the impacts and constraints of noise levels in a variety of settings. We use state-of-the-art noise equipment and software to provide accurate and reliable data to support decision-making related to noise mitigation, compliance and planning applications. We offer professional noise reports which accompany our scientific measurements, modelling and analysis for a range of different areas.
Our services include BS 4142 assessments for industrial noise, environmental noise assessments for new developments, BS 8233 assessments for residential developments, and wider environmental impact assessments. We use the most accurate measurement technology and reliable modelling software to provide detailed noise maps and reports that are tailored to our clients' specific needs.

Noise Measurements
We offer a range of noise measurement services using the latest techniques and equipment.
Our team has extensive experience in conducting noise measurements according to BS4142:2014, CRN, and CRTN techniques, using Class 1 sound level meters. This allows us to provide accurate and reliable measurements for a wide range of noise sources, including industrial machinery, transportation, and construction sites.
Sound Modelling

Noise Measurements
Our noise modelling services can help you understand how noise levels vary across your environment and identify areas that may be particularly affected by noise pollution by providing sound maps. By using the latest modelling techniques, we can also predict how noise levels may change in the future, allowing you to develop effective noise reduction strategies and planning.
To ensure the accuracy of our noise maps, we can also validate them using measurements. Our team can conduct noise measurements in your environment to verify the accuracy of our noise models and identify any areas where noise levels may be higher than expected.

Environmental noise causes annoyance and disturbs sleep, and it impairs cognitive performance. It has been associated with an increased incidence of arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction and stroke.

Noise barriers
Noise barriers, such as walls or berms, are commonly used along highways to reduce traffic noise for nearby residents. Other noise mitigation strategies include using quieter machinery, implementing noise-reducing urban design, and enforcing strict noise regulations.

The loudest animal on Earth is the sperm whale, whose clicks can reach up to 230 decibels - louder than a jet engine taking off! The second loudest is the Mantis Shrimp
