Acoustics & Vibration

Our technical specialists provide guidance on acoustics, noise, and vibration for a wide scope of projects, ranging from city-scale environments to detailed building or infrastructure elements.

Acoustics recording equipment set up near fields

Overview

Our goal is to create functional and comfortable indoor and outdoor environments that are compatible with their surroundings. We offer unique expertise and practical solutions, from planning through to construction, which balance potential environmental and interior noise issues with architectural design goals.

Using state-of-the-art tools and equipment, SLR can assist our clients by modeling, predicting, and verifying acoustical, noise, and vibration performance.
