Noise complaints can come from a variety of sources and forms, including:
- plant noise
- noise through party walls,
- external traffic and environmental noise,
- noise through glazing and external facades,
- impact noise via mechanical connections such as door slamming, movement and footsteps,
- low and high-frequency noise issues.
- Trace can investigate these types of complaints and also situations where the noise source and type are unknown.
Acoustic camera diagnosis
Trace has the capability to investigate noise issues using an acoustic camera, which is a device made up of an array of microphones used to accurately locate noise in a given area and display it visually as colours and pictures.
The process of an acoustic camera investigation typically involves an acoustic survey to assess the dominant noise frequencies, followed by using the acoustic camera to filter that frequency range and locate the areas where the noise is emanating from. The specific location of the noise can be detected via the acoustic camera and synced with other measurements being taken to fully understand the correlation.
Our expertise
Trace has a team of experts with various disciplines who can diagnose the problem and provide an immediate solution using the acoustic camera as a useful tool to identify the origin of the problem noise.
