Noise & acoustics
Outdoor acoustics. Environmental sensors. Clear evidence.
Noise is the most common environmental nuisance complaint in Ireland. We help you measure it, understand it, and place it in a defensible timeline.
The most common complaint, the least measured problem
Noise represented almost one-third of complaints concerning EPA-licensed sites during 2017–2019. Yet most noise complaints are resolved — or not resolved — without a single calibrated measurement. We help change that: not by taking sides, but by helping the right measurements happen.
From a single snapshot to long-term campaigns
Attended Monitoring
Attended measurement undertaken with suitably qualified acoustic partners, logging at specific times and locations.
Unattended Long-Term Logging
Weatherproof outdoor units deployed for days, weeks or months. Continuous data, remote access.
Baseline Noise Surveys
Pre-development or pre-operational surveys to establish existing ambient levels.
BS 4142 Assessments
Industrial and commercial noise impact assessments for planning and licensing.
Construction Noise Monitoring
Real-time logging with automated alerts when thresholds are exceeded.
Low Frequency & Tonal Noise
Specialist analysis for heat pumps, HVAC, industrial plant, and music venues.
All monitoring conducted in accordance with ISO 1996, BS 4142 and EPA NG4 guidance.
Why measurement matters
A diary entry records annoyance. A calibrated measurement records fact. The Irish planning and regulatory system increasingly expects objective noise data. If nobody owns the chronology, everybody owns the argument.
“A complaint is not evidence. But it is where evidence should begin.”
