Environmental Noise - Commercial

Noise and Sound Services carry out assessments that are required by Councils if noise produced by the proposed development has the potential to cause annoyance. For example, environmental noise assessments are often required for new churches, childcare premises, dog kennels and service stations. As Acoustical Consultants we measure the existing background noise and then measure or predict the potential noise from the development. Mitigation measures if required are recommended to reduce noise impact. Compliance with the Noise Policy for Industry 2017 (NSW) is generally required.

The following are examples of environmental noise assesments for commercial premises:

Childcare Centre Noise from children at play in childcare centres. Carefully designed noise barriers are often required to shield neighbouring premises.
New Greenfield Estates The background noise level is logged, potential noise sources are calculated and assessed using the Noise Policy for Industry.	Car Wash If car wash activities are near neighbouring premises, noise mitigation is required to meet the Noise Policy for Industry requirements.
