Acoustic Consultants FAQs
What Is An Acoustic Consultancy Service?
Most countries deal with environmental noise, which has a negative effect on residents and can even compromise their wellbeing. The main sources of environmental noise include:
• Industrial noise and vibration
• Noise from transportation
• Excess noise from entertainment venues, such as concert halls
• Construction noise
NOVA Acoustics has a team of dedicated noise consultants who perform noise impact assessments and highlight areas for improvement.
From a road’s acoustic emissions for residential developments to evaluating the potential impact of a new industrial site or expansion, our acoustic engineering specialists ensure your development or current building aligns with the relevant standards, including BS8233:2014 and BS4142:2014.
Once noise consultants identify the degree of noise you’re dealing with, they’ll suggest and implement measures that comply with local authorities planning policy and building regulations.
Do I Need Acoustic Consultancy Services for Planning Permission?
One of our most popular acoustic consultancy services for planning permission is the noise and vibration assessment. Whether your proposed development is a residential development, new hotel, healthcare practice, school or anything else, your Local Authority will usually ask for a noise assessment to be undertaken.
The survey isolates noise issues and highlights areas where we can reduce acoustics and vibration.
We Treat Noise and Vibration Issues Rapidly
Many developments have acoustic implications and eliminating the noise might be impossible. Local Authorities often request BS4142 noise surveys to highlight the likely impact of industrial and commercial noise sources at noise-sensitive premises.
If you install external equipment, including extraction systems, generators, or air conditioning, the BS4142 noise assessment assesses whether you’re keeping noise levels at a minimum.
The BS8233 and BS4142 surveys comply with the Noise Policy Statement for England and the National Planning and Policy Framework.

“Nova Acoustics have provided an efficient and clear service both at the inquiry stage and then with the actual testing. The certificate was sent to me very quickly so that I can complete the Buildings Final Inspection process. Pricing is competitive and their staff are polite and helpful.”
“We have tried various acoustic consultants over the last couple of years but found Nova to be the most proactive. As a result of this, we have used them on our last two schemes and will be using them again.”
