Mechanical Services Noise
Air-conditioning, exhaust, cooling towers and rooftop plant, assessed early enough to influence equipment selection.
Typical timeframe
1-3 weeks
Coverage
Australia-wide
Who asks for it
Councils and building certifiers
Overview
Mechanical plant is one of the most common sources of noise complaints, because it often runs continuously, close to neighbours, for the life of the building. We assess plant noise early, ideally before equipment is ordered, so attenuation is designed in rather than retrofitted.
Who this is for
Developers, building services engineers and operators specifying or troubleshooting air-conditioning, kitchen exhaust, cooling towers or rooftop plant.
When it is required
Typically required as part of a development approval condition, or after a neighbour complaint about an existing installation.
Our approach
We work from manufacturer sound power data at design stage wherever possible, then verify with site measurement once plant is installed, catching problems before commissioning, not after.
What you’ll receive
- Plant noise modelling at design stage
- Attenuator and equipment selection advice
- Post-installation verification measurement
- A compliance report for your certifier or council
