Typical project acoustic assessmentsDevelopment projects can require a variety of acoustic assessments depending on where they are located. Acoustic Compliance Australia is tasked with assisting industry in understanding its requirements and providing reports that detail the compliance status of the project as well as recommendations to reach noise goals. We work with you from the design stage all the way through to commissioning measurements.
The assessments required for a development project will typically include following:
|
|
|
Traffic Noise IntrusionFor developments located near major roads, a traffic noise intrusion assessment will typically be required to provide understanding on how loud the traffic noise will be inside the occupied spaces. It is typical for assessments to determine that different facades will require different thicknesses and types of glazing.
The aim of the traffic noise intrusion assessment is to reduce noise levels within the development to preserve the internal amenity and protect human health. |
Rail Noise Intrusion |
|
Rail noise intrusion assessments have specific requirements due to the unique acoustic issue they present. Trains can cause significant vibration levels in nearby structures which can result in vibration regenerated noise within the development. This causes the wall materials and glazing to vibrate and radiate noise as a low rumble.
Further, rail noise from the train traversing over tracks can be intrusive and is intermittent. Additionally train horn noise can cause awakening reactions during the night time period and impact on health. |
|
Aircraft noise intrusion |
|
Aircraft noise is highly regulated and any development located within approximately 10km of a major airport will typically need to consider aircraft noise intruding into it.
Assessments need to consider airport masterplans and the ultimate capacity of airports which may include more runways and flight paths than the existing airport. |
Acoustic Compliance Australia can assist with navigating the multitude of required acoustic assessments.

The assessments required for a development project will typically include following:
- Environmental noise intruding into the development from a variety of sources such as traffic, rail, aircraft, music venues or industrial & commercial sites.
- Noise from the development impacting on off-site noise sensitive receivers.
- Noise from external plant located on the development intruding into its own apartments or sensitive spaces.
- Intertenancy noise between sole occupancies.
- Building services noise from mechanical and hydraulic services as well as plantrooms and elevator shafts.
- Internal acoustic quality such as reverberation time control and speech intelligibility.
