Experience
We have worked on a wide range of projects, across many sectors and in many territories. Each sector brings specific challenges in the application of acoustic science, but it is the same science throughout.
Since acoustics is intrinsic to all aspects of life and the built environment it is difficult to categorise our experience and the following options only just begin to scratch the surface. So please do not hesitate to contact us if the specific experience you are seeking is not clearly listed below.
Aviation
Noise from airports and aircraft can be a considerable community concern that requires technical accuracy and sensitivity. Vernon is an industry expert in aviation noise, and is well placed to provide advice and guide Suono’s contribution in this specialist area, and Ben is highly experienced in use of noise contouring software, including AEDT.

Community
Many of the ancillary spaces in community facilities and places of worship can resemble education spaces, but halls may require a particular awareness and understanding of the range of community activities or liturgical styles. Sensitivity and pragmatism is also often required to balance the needs of the community within, while not disturbing dwellings of the surrounding community.
