About Our Noise Managment services

Noise Management Services at A Higher Sound

Effective noise management is essential for ensuring events run smoothly while complying with regulations and minimising disruption to local communities. At A Higher Sound, we provide comprehensive noise management solutions tailored to festivals, concerts, dance events, and private functions. With extensive experience in writing noise management plans, conducting environmental noise impact assessments, and using advanced prediction software, we help event organisers navigate complex noise regulations with confidence.

Expert Noise Management Plans for Events

We have years of experience in developing noise management plans for events of all sizes, from small local gatherings to large-scale festivals. Our plans are designed to meet licensing requirements and address all aspects of noise control, including sound propagation, mitigation strategies, monitoring protocols, and communication plans with local authorities and residents. Our detailed plans help ensure compliance with environmental health guidelines and event licensing conditions, reducing the risk of complaints or enforcement action.

Advanced Noise Prediction Software & Impact Assessments

Using industry-standard noise prediction software, we can accurately model and predict how sound will travel from an event site, allowing for preemptive noise control measures. This is particularly valuable for planning outdoor festivals and concerts, where sound levels can impact residential areas. By analyzing factors such as topography, wind direction, and temperature inversion, we create data-driven strategies to optimise speaker placement and minimize off-site noise impact without compromising sound quality for the audience.

Noise Reports for Planning Applications

If you require planning permission, our team is experienced in preparing professional noise impact assessments to support applications. These reports include background noise surveys, predicted event noise levels, and mitigation recommendations to demonstrate how noise will be managed responsibly. Whether it's a new development, a permanent venue, or an expansion of an existing site, we work closely with planners, environmental health officers, and local authorities to ensure a smooth approval process.

On-Site and Off-Site Noise Monitoring for Festivals & Events

To maintain compliance with noise limits and respond proactively to any concerns, we provide real-time noise monitoring both on-site and off-site during events. Our team conducts independent off-site measurements at key receptor locations to ensure that noise levels remain within permitted thresholds. On-site, we set up sound level meters to provide continuous monitoring, allowing sound engineers and event organizers to adjust levels as needed. Our approach ensures that noise is managed dynamically throughout the event, minimising the risk of complaints and regulatory breaches.

Professional Noise Monitoring Equipment

We use high-precision sound level meters and environmental noise monitoring systems to provide accurate, real-time data on noise levels. Our equipment includes:

• Class 2 sound level meters for highly accurate measurements
• Logging sound monitors for continuous data collection
• Real-time noise monitoring that visually notify event staff if sound levels approach regulatory limits
