Acoustics Measurements

There is an abundance of rules, guidelines and recommendations from different bodies concerning acoustic requirements from different types of noise sources. We can guide you through the requirements and conduct sound and vibration measurements. All measurements are performed in accordance with Swedish and international standards or current practice at government offices. We have good collaborating partners and good relationships with instrument suppliers who help us to solve your needs when matters go beyond the normal. We do not just deliver a numerical value but also an interpretation and, if needed, a proposal for action. A few examples of the standards we use:

SS-EN ISO 16032:2004
Acoustics - Measurement of sound pressure level from service equipment in buildings - Engineering method (ISO 16032:2004)

SS-EN ISO 17201-1:2005
Acoustics - Noise from shooting ranges - Part 1: Determination of muzzle blast by measurement (ISO 17201-1:2005)

SS-EN ISO 17201-2:2006
Acoustics - Noise from shooting ranges - Part 2: Estimation of muzzle blast and projectile sound by calculation (ISO/FDIS 17201-2:2006) (ISO 17201-2:2006)

SS-EN ISO 17201-4:2006
Acoustics - Noise from shooting ranges - Part 4: Prediction of projectile sound (ISO 17201-4:2006)

SS-ISO 14837-1:2005
Mechanical vibration - Ground-borne noise and vibration arising from rail systems - Part 1: General guidance (ISO 14837-1:2005, IDT)
