Noise Mapping Manchester

This involves the construction of a three-dimensional model of the site and surrounding environment using sound mapping software. The software calculates the radiation of sound from the noise source across the site creating a colour contour map displaying the variations in sound levels. The calculation method used by the software takes into account acoustic corrections such as distance propagation, ground absorption, reflections and screening.

Existing Noise Source

Noise mapping of existing transportation or industrial noise sources upon proposed developments is often required in order to establish the ambient environmental noise levels across an entire site.

Examples of where this may be required include:

• Residential developments;
• Commercial developments;
• Educational developments;
• Health care developments.

Proposed Noise Source

Noise mapping of proposed transportation or industrial noise sources upon existing receptors is often required in order to establish the level of noise associated with noise source at multiple receptors.

Examples of where this may be required include:

• Retail & Leisure developments;
• Industrial developments;
• Transportation links;
• Renewable energy installations.
