Manage Noise and Vibration Impacts With Precise Assessment and Mitigation

Noise and vibration are inherent to industrial, commercial, and infrastructure activities - and increasingly subject to regulation by federal, state, and local agencies. We provide advanced assessments, accurate modeling, and effective mitigation strategies to help clients comply with standards, minimize community impacts, and maintain operational efficiency.
Service Specifics

Our Noise & Vibration Services

See how our noise and vibration services combine advanced modeling, field measurements, and mitigation planning to reduce risk and ensure compliance.

We conduct industrial noise impact assessments, ambient sound and vibration measurements, background noise studies, and compliance planning to meet federal, state, and local standards.

Using advanced software such as CadnaA and SoundPLAN, along with proprietary calculation tools, we model noise propagation, generate contour plots, and test mitigation measures for complex industrial, infrastructure, and community environments.

Our team prepares noise reports for NEPA Environmental Assessments (EAs) and Resource Report 9 sections for FERC, while also supporting post-operational compliance monitoring and agency data requests.

We evaluate and recommend cost-effective noise and vibration mitigation measures, including silencers, acoustic insulation, noise berms and barriers, improved equipment specifications, and operational adjustments.

We employ research-grade sound level meters to characterize sound sources and measure ambient noise levels at sensitive receptors and fence lines, as well as vibration magnitudes and frequencies.

We design noise-sensitive spaces by developing criteria and detailed designs for room finishes, building envelopes, façades, and mechanical system noise control.

High Stakes Capital Projects

In this issue of EHS Quarterly, we examine how environmental consulting plays a pivotal role in turning regulatory challenges into project advantages. By embedding proactive environmental management and permitting strategies early in the capital project lifecycle, organizations can reduce risk, improve outcomes, and create measurable value.

Noise & Vibration FAQs

Projects such as industrial facilities, natural gas compressor stations, mining operations, transportation infrastructure, energy developments, and entertainment venues often require noise and vibration studies to demonstrate compliance and minimize community impacts.

Failure to comply with noise and vibration regulations can lead to enforcement actions, lawsuits, and community relations issues. Proactive assessment and mitigation ensure compliance, protect reputations, and support project approvals.

We use advanced vector modeling software like CadnaA and SoundPLAN, along with workbook-based calculation tools, to simulate complex scenarios and test mitigation strategies.

Yes. We prepare noise assessments for NEPA Environmental Assessments, FERC Resource Report 9 submissions, and post-operation monitoring to demonstrate compliance with federal regulations.

Absolutely. We assist clients in selecting and implementing mitigation measures such as silencers, insulation, barriers, and equipment modifications, tailored to the specific noise sources and regulatory context.
