Acoustic Engineering and Consulting

The social cost of noise is estimated to be several billion euros per year. This cost includes the harmful effects of noise on people's health as well as property depreciation due to poor sound insulation.
Developments in recent years in terms of environmental regulations and certification have also brought the issue of acoustics to the heart of projects.
From acoustic studies of new or existing structures to the management of noise in the external environment, engineering and consulting in the field of acoustics make it possible to carry out global impact studies and to certify the acoustics of buildings.

What is

Acoustic engineering and consultancy?

Our engineers have extensive experience in carrying out all types of studies and acoustic projects, within which the following can be distinguished:

Predictive studies of acoustic insulation of premises.
Interior acoustic conditioning studies.
Acoustic simulations by modeling noise sources.
Acoustic certificates for trials.

Our services

These acoustic studies and simulations are carried out by combining the experience and know-how of our engineers with the power and accuracy of the best existing software on the market for such purposes.

Carrying out simulations using this type of software of recognized prestige such as CadnaA, Lima, etc. that meet all the requirements established by the Administration and by any requesting institution and can predict postoperative situations with a minimum degree of error.

Our projects and acoustic studies are aimed at a wide range of clients and are adapted to the needs of small activities (cafeterias, pubs, etc.) as well as large constructions or industries.

Acoustic Testing Laboratory

Apave's acoustic testing laboratory carries out a wide range of on-site acoustic tests in the field of environmental and building acoustics. The reliability of the same, together with the efficiency in the provision of the service are the main values that make us the best choice to carry out measurements for requirements of the Administration, acoustic certifications of buildings, etc.

Apave evaluates and guarantees the independence and impartiality of the personnel who carry out the acoustic tests.

Acoustic Auditing

The Acoustic Audit is a concept defined in Law 7/2002 on Protection against Noise Pollution of December 3, 2007 of the Generalitat Valenciana and Decree 266/2004 of December 3, of the Consell de la Generalitat, by which The rules for the prevention and correction of noise pollution are established in relation to activities, facilities, buildings, works and services. It consists of carrying out a control of acoustic emissions, levels of insulation and reception in the environment, of any activity likely to generate noise and/or vibrations.

Locating noise sources using a sound camera

Study of the location of sound sources and acoustic bridges through the use of a sound camera. This technology locates the foci visually through photographs or videos with color representation based on the sound contribution of the visualized focus. This allows knowing the importance and situation of industrial or other types of noise sources, as well as the noise level emitted by the localized emission point.
