Svantek specialises in environmental, traffic, and building noise measurements in compliance with applicable standards. Articles cover measurement techniques, noise assessment criteria, and legal requirements used in our services.
Sound insulation Sound insulation is the resistance of a partition (walls or ceiling) to the transmission of airborne or impact sounds. What is sound insulation? In acoustics, sound insulation is “the resistance of a partition to the transmission of airborne or impact sounds”. Sound insulation is a parameter determined for a given partition (wall), door, […]
Acoustic Measurements Acoustic measurements are a set of measurement methods: measurements of acoustic parameters of rooms, measurements of noise, acoustic power, or emission. What are acoustic measurements? Acoustic measurements are a set of measurement methods that allow you to determine acoustic parameters. We perform acoustic measurements using a meter equipped with a microphone or an […]
Building Acoustics Building acoustics covers issues such as sound transmission through partitions, the acoustic parameters of interiors, or the propagation of sound waves in rooms. Building Acoustics – definition Building acoustics is, according to the definition, a branch of architectural acoustics that includes sound propagation in enclosed spaces and issues of sound insulation in the […]
Aircraft Noise Aircraft noise in relation to airports is a type of noise generated by aircraft during takeoffs, landings, and maneuvers on the airport premises. What is aircraft noise? Aircraft noise in relation to airports is the type of noise generated by aircraft during takeoffs, landings and maneuvers on airport property. It is a particularly […]
Industrial Noise Industrial noise is the sound emitted into the environment by industrial plants or installations. Emission measurements are conducted for such noise. What is industrial noise? Industrial noise is defined as noise emitted into the environment by industrial plants or installations. For such noise, measurements shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements […]
Impulse Noise Impulse noise according to ISO 1996-1:2006 is a sound characterized by sudden, short-lived spikes in sound pressure. What is impulse noise? Impulse noise is characterized by sounds of short duration and rapidly increasing sound pressure. According to ISO 1996-1:2006, it is “a sound characterized by sudden, short-duration spikes in sound pressure (the duration […]
