Design Acoustics = Integrated Acoustics


Welcome to the Design Acoustics web site. Design Acoustics specialises in providing acoustical design services to design professionals and other clients. We aim to provide innovative, timely and cost-effective advice to help ensure the success of your next project.

We enjoy the design process and working with other design professionals. We are active members of the design team, proposing options for acoustical control which achieve aesthetic and other requirements. We recommend that we be involved at an early stage to help integrate acoustical requirements with other aesthetic and functional considerations.

Design Acoustics offers advice in;

  • room acoustics - acoustics of the interior of a room, e.g. theatres, concert halls

  • sound isolation - reducing sound transmission between spaces, e.g. apartments, offices

  • mechanical noise control - reducing noise from machinery, e.g. HVAC, transformers, factory plant

  • environmental noise - outdoor noise affecting neighbours and compliance with noise regulations

For more information on the type of expertise we can offer please follow the links above. Please feel free to contact us to discuss how we can help your next project.
