Building acoustics is primarily concerned with the sound insulation qualities of buildings, from the points of view of both insulating the whole building from outside intrusions (or vice versa) and ensuring that separate spaces within the building are also sufficiently isolated from one another.

The best way to ensure the appropriate level of sound insulation for your building is to design it into the structure. Employing the services of a good acoustic consultant in the early stages of the building's design will help to ensure that the end results are as good as you hoped.

The acoustic atmosphere within a room is dependant on more than just the background noise level that can be obtained by acoustic isolation.

Architectural acoustics covers the topics of reverberation time, acoustic absorption, diffusion, first reflections, room modes, etc.
The aim of architectural acoustics is to create the ideal space for maximising enjoyment of performances in concert halls, or for providing an atmosphere where public speakers can be heard and clearly understood.

Helmside Acoustics Ltd is registered with the Association of Noise Consultants and can make assessments of the airborne and impact sound insulation in buildings according to Approved Document E of the Building Regulations. |

Engineered solutions to improve the sound insulation can be proposed which fit with your requirements.
