Environmental Noise
Whether it is in the up-front planning and design process or during site operation, KFB can help you understand and reduce the noise that is emitted by your work site or industrial facility.
How do we stand out?
We provide expert testing, modeling, and consulting services for understanding environmental noise. This interdisciplinairy approach helps us to identify and analyze the primary site noise sources, and to develop treatment plans to mitigate our customers’ environmental noise impact.
We support our clients during all project phases, from site selection to the legally compliant operation of plants and equipment.
As an accredited testing laboratory, we carry out vibration measurements according to laboratory test procedures on hand-held and hand-operated devices in our laboratories.
We undertake challenging projects all across the world and we deliver guaranteed results. Successfully.
Our Services:
-
Measurements and Analysis
Analysis of the acoustic environment includes: -
Noise Mapping
Noise mapping allows to assess and forecast the acoustic climate of analyzed object and offers a broad perspective to design a people-friendly space.
Our engineering team performs the following services:
- Measurements and calculations of the permitted noise level in the environment.
- Acoustic documentation required by law regulations of a specific area.
- Comprehensive consultancy in the field of noise mapping.
-
Soundscaping
The soundscape is defined as the human’s perception of the acoustic environment. The soundscape of our environment helps us to better understand the world we live in. The presence of sound, both wanted and unwanted, is something that cannot be avoided, thats why we support our clients in designing an environment with a view to improving sound quality.
Take advantage on our soundscape services:
- Acoustic modeling of environmental phenomena.
- Development of guidelines to design an environment with a perspective to improving sound quality.
- Assessment of the state of the acoustic climate.
-
Noise Monitoring
By combining advanced test and analysis capabilities together with multidisciplinary engineering team we perform following monitoring services:
- Continuous monitoring of the sound emission.
- Minimize community disturbances.
- Possibility to audio recording of selected occurence
-

One-point or multi-point analysis?
When deciding to start continuous noise monitoring, the number of points in which it should be carried out becomes an important issue. This choice depends on what we want to evaluate. If we are only interested in information about the variation in time of the noise level or in identifying individual events, one point may be sufficient.
If we are interested in information about the noise level from a defined area, taking into account the influence of acoustic background or the assessment of the impact of variability of the source operation on the noise level at a point in the environment, at least two points must be used.
If we are interested in the distribution of the noise level in different directions or would like to carry out an initial identification of the direction of the acoustic wave, it is necessary to use the measurement in a larger number of points. The choice of the measurement strategy should always be preceded by a preliminary acoustic diagnosis and a clear definition of the purpose of the analysis.
