Acoustic Engineers

Q: Why is acoustics important in construction?

Acoustics are important for all construction projects as it ensures sounds are transmitted effectively or kept to a minimum. For example, a concert hall requires good acoustics to transmit the music, while museums and libraries need to be quiet. Various construction projects will require different sound design.

Q: What is required on an acoustic engineer's report?

In Australia, there are several factors that are required on an acoustic engineer's report. These include design performance requirements, details of special finishes and treatments, and proposed floor, wall, or partition systems.

Acoustic engineers work together with other building and construction professionals — like architects — to design buildings to control sound diffraction, refraction, and absorption. They help design and control sound in both homes and commercial buildings. ArchiPro features only the most experienced acoustic engineers across Australia to help with your next construction project.

Types of services that an acoustic engineer provides

Building designs

Acoustic engineers can consult with and work alongside architects or construction engineers in the initial building stage, to ensure the design is conducive to sound quality.

Noise reduction or amplification

Acoustic engineers can help minimise outside noise, for example, from car or air traffic, or amplify internal sound quality for buildings like concert halls.

Checking noise compliance

In Australia, it’s important that new buildings comply with the local noise standards. This can be checked by acoustic engineers.

The advantages of hiring skilled acoustic engineers

As with all engineers, hiring skilled acoustic engineers is important for the comfort of occupants and regulatory compliance. Skilled acoustic engineers can help take in-depth noise measurements to ensure compliance with legal requirements in Australia, model the acoustics to predict noise impact on surrounding areas and communities, and go above and beyond by helping architects fine-tune their work with precise acoustic guidelines.

What are the surveys, methods, technology, and tools that will be used?

How does the acoustic system affect a building’s structure?

The shape and structure of a building is related to the acoustic characteristics, and vice versa. The acoustics of a building can be influenced by the geometry and volume of a space. Architectural acoustics involve optimising the design of a building to control the sound waves and amplifying or reducing noise levels when necessary.
