When to Hire a Specialist Acoustic Consultant (and How Our Products Fit In)

Shaun Snaith
Whether you’re planning a high-spec recording studio, a quiet office environment, or a home cinema, achieving the right acoustic performance is crucial. But when do you need the expertise of a specialist acoustic consultant—and how do Advanced Acoustics’ products support their work?

When Should You Hire a Specialist Acoustic Consultant?

A specialist acoustic consultant brings technical expertise and independent testing to complex projects. Here are scenarios where their input is invaluable:

1. Complex Commercial or Public Projects

  • Large offices, schools, restaurants, or public spaces often have strict acoustic requirements and building regulations.
  • Consultants conduct site assessments, noise surveys, and recommend solutions tailored to specific needs.

2. Legal or Regulatory Compliance

  • If your project must comply with building codes (e.g., Part E or BB93), or needs certified fire ratings and independent test data, a consultant ensures all requirements are met.

3. Unusual Acoustic Challenges

  • Dealing with persistent noise issues (e.g., traffic, machinery) or unique architectural features? Consultants use specialist tools and modelling software to design effective solutions.

4. High-Value or High-Profile Projects

  • Studios, broadcast facilities, or corporate boardrooms often demand the highest level of acoustic performance and documentation.

5. When You Need Independent Testing

  • Consultants can provide on-site testing, reverberation time measurements, or sound insulation reports—services that go beyond what manufacturers typically offer.
