Community and Environmental Noise
Environmental noise is generally defined as an unwanted loud sound in an environment that can interfere with normal activities such as sleep conversation. These noise emissions are likely to cause annoyance or have a potential health impact. Environmental noise may include noise from transportation including traffic or aircraft. However the main focus is predominantly on industry, music venues and private or commercial mechanical plant.
A&AS can undertake measurements of unwanted noise emissions and set noise limits as per the appropriate EPA legislation, guidelines or Australian and international Standards.
Our team has the experience and knowledge to measure and monitor noise at your home or for your project.
We can provide you with an acoustic report for submission to your state or local authority. The acoustic report can assist you with your project or planning permit submission.
We can also test and monitor compliance with the relative legislation by use of unmanned noise loggers with audio and spectral analysis capabilities. This will provide real-time data on how loud a noise was, for what duration and at what time of the day or night.
