Acoustic consulting – online or on-site

Acoustic issues such as echoes, noise, vibrations, or sound transmission between rooms can occur in many different types of environments. Often, the cause is more complex than it first appears, and without a proper analysis, it is easy for corrective measures to be ineffective or for the problems to persist.

Through professional acoustic consulting from SilentDirect, it is possible to identify what is actually causing the problems and which measures yield the best results in that specific environment. We offer free digital acoustic consulting where we analyze the sound problem based on photos and information about the room, but in more complex situations, on-site consulting can also be an effective option.

The goal of the consultation is always to create a better sound environment through solutions that are technically sound, practically feasible, and tailored to the specific environment.

What is acoustic consulting?

Acoustics is about how sound behaves in a room or building. Factors such as room size, ceiling height, wall and ceiling materials, furnishings, and the building’s construction affect how sound is reflected, absorbed, or scattered.

Depending on the situation, various types of measures may be appropriate:

- Sound absorption to reduce echoes and reverberation in the room
- Sound insulation to limit sound transmission between rooms or floors
- Vibration damping to reduce structure-borne noise from machinery and installations

Through an acoustic analysis, it is possible to identify which factors affect the sound environment and which measures are most effective.

When is acoustic consulting needed?

Acoustic consulting can be valuable in many situations where the acoustic environment needs to be improved.

For example, when:

- A room has a lot of echo or a long reverberation time
- Sound travels between rooms or floors
- Machinery or equipment creates vibrations and structure-borne noise
- Work environments are perceived as noisy or difficult to work in
- Restaurants, schools, or offices have poor speech intelligibility

In many cases, relatively simple measures can significantly improve the acoustic environment, but for the solution to be effective, the cause of the problem must first be identified.

What we can help with

We help both individuals and businesses analyze and solve various types of sound-related issues.

For example:

- Echo and reverberation in rooms
- Poor acoustics in offices and work environments
- Noise from ventilation, machinery, or technical installations
- Sound transmitted between rooms or floors
- Vibrations and structure-borne noise from machinery or equipment

Acoustic problems arise in many different environments, including homes, apartments, offices, restaurants, schools, studios, conference rooms, and industrial facilities.

Digital acoustic consulting – free of charge

In many cases, sound issues can be analyzed without an on-site visit. By sending photos and information about the room, we can often identify the cause of the problem and provide recommendations for appropriate solutions.

To ensure the analysis is as clear as possible, please send:

1. Photos of the room or the environment
2. Room dimensions, such as ceiling height, width, and length
3. Information about what is causing the noise
4. A brief description of how the problem is experienced

After reviewing the information, we will get back to you with concrete recommendations regarding, for example, the placement of sound absorbers, sound insulation solutions, or vibration damping methods.

The digital acoustic consultation is free of charge and is often an effective first step toward understanding the cause of the noise problem.

On-site acoustic consulting

For more extensive or complex acoustic issues, an on-site visit may be the best option. During the visit, we analyze how sound behaves in the room or building and what factors influence the acoustic environment, such as construction, materials, installations, and the room’s layout.

A site visit typically involves:

- Review of the sound problem together with the customer
- Analysis of the room or building where the problem occurs
- Assessment of acoustics and construction
- Identification of factors affecting sound propagation, reverberation, or vibrations
- Recommendations regarding appropriate measures, materials, and solutions

The on-site consultation itself typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on the environment and the scope of the problem.

Following the visit, an in-depth review is conducted to compile the recommended measures and solutions. This enables us to provide more detailed recommendations regarding, for example, the placement of sound absorbers, sound insulation measures, or vibration damping methods.

Price for on-site acoustic consulting

On-site acoustic consulting involves a SilentDirect acoustics specialist visiting the location where the noise problem occurs to analyze how sound propagates within the room or building. By studying both the acoustics and the building’s construction, it is possible to identify which factors affect the sound environment and which measures will be most effective.

An on-site visit is often particularly valuable in larger spaces or in situations where sound is affected by the building’s construction, technical installations, or machinery.

What’s included in the price

- On-site acoustic consulting includes:
- Travel to and from the site
- Review of the sound issue together with the client
- Analysis of the room’s acoustics and the building’s structure
- Consultation regarding sound absorption, sound insulation, and vibration damping
- Specific recommendations regarding measures and the placement of materials and products
- Follow-up analysis and compilation of recommended solutions

Following the visit, a more detailed review of the situation is conducted, during which recommended measures and solutions are compiled. This work is typically performed after the consultation and usually takes between 2 and 10 hours, depending on the scope and complexity of the project. You will then receive a clear summary outlining recommended measures, the placement of materials and products, and suggestions for suitable solutions to improve the acoustic environment.

The actual on-site consultation typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on the environment and the scope of the problem.

For longer trips, overnight accommodation may be included in the price.
