Acoustical Engineering

Ambient Sound Survey (Baseline/Background)

Ambient Sound Surveys, also known as Baseline or Background Surveys, are crucial to setting your project up for compliant operations. This provides you with the existing sound levels in the area which all future acoustic engineering studies will build from.

• Conducted with Class 1 sound level meters and weather monitoring equipment
• Includes both daytime and nighttime measurements for full accuracy
• Establishes compliance benchmarks for regulatory agencies
• Forms the foundation for future modeling and mitigation strategies

Equipment Noise Signatures

Urban’s Acoustic Engineers measure noise sources using Class1 microphones following ISO standards then process the data to allow for use in predictive noise modeling software to create noise impact assessments and custom mitigation plans.

• Isolates and identifies contributions of individual equipment sources
• Supports predictive modeling for facility-wide noise footprints
• Provides input for targeted noise control solutions (barriers, silencers, enclosures)
• Ensures accurate evaluations

Site-Specific Noise Impact Assessments and Mitigation Planning

Noise Impact Studies use predictive noise modeling to give you confidence in anticipated noise levels based on your site’s topography, equipment, and environmental factors at all the sensitive receptors nearby. Urban will then work with you to create customized mitigation plans specific to your site to ensure your compliant site meets the community’s needs.
