Environmental Noise Analysis and Testing Services

When it comes to engineering and environmental acoustics, ISE sets the standard. We provide a full spectrum of acoustical consulting services necessary for compliance with environmental regulations including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Our capabilities include the ability to perform intensive site noise monitoring, ambient level determination and verification, site and topographic noise modeling, noise contour generation, and design-phase noise mitigation.

ISE's staff is formally trained in the requisite fields of acoustics, fluid mechanics, and gas dynamics allowing us to analyze a problem at a much more technical level than our competitors. All work is structured to correspond with project siting, design sequencing, and applicable federal, state, and local ordinances and requirements.

Typical environmental noise / acoustical services provided by ISE include:

• Noise analysis for environmental impact studies (CEQA, NEPA, EPA, HUD).
• Roadway, rail, and airport noise studies.
• Air Installation Compatibility Use Zone (AICUZ), Master Plan, and General Plan aircraft studies.
• Industrial and construction noise analyses.
• Architectural acoustics (RT₆₀, FSTC, NIC, FIIC).
• OSHA noise studies and hearing conservation programs.
• Mitigation, short- and long-term noise monitoring.
• Acoustical barrier design.
• Spectral and band analyses / Sound Power analyses.
• Active noise control technology.
• Acoustical laboratory testing (ASTM, ISO, ANSI).
