Plan noisy works with a clearer understanding of the risks. Our construction noise and vibration assessments help contractors and project teams manage disruption to neighbours and sensitive buildings.
We support construction, demolition and infrastructure projects with baseline surveys, predictions and site monitoring. We identify activities likely to cause concern and advise on working methods, equipment selection and practical mitigation.
Forth Noise & Vibration provides clear reporting to support construction noise management plans and discussions with clients and local authorities. Monitoring helps you identify when action is needed and provides an objective record of site conditions.
Environmental noise assessments for planning and development — quantifying impact and setting out practical mitigation.
Predictive noise modelling using specialist software to test scenarios and de-risk decisions before you build.
Acoustic input at design stage — discharging planning conditions and getting the detail right the first time.
"They cut through a noise objection that had stalled our application for months. The report was clear, robust, and the planners accepted it without question."
"Pragmatic and genuinely expert. They told us what we actually needed rather than over-engineering it, and our workplace noise records are now fully defensible."
"Responsive, independent and easy to deal with. They identified the vibration source quickly and gave us a clear path to fix it."
"Forth Noise gave us a planning condition discharge that stood up to scrutiny. Clear advice, tight timescales, and no last-minute surprises."
Let’s address noise before it becomes a problem.
As early as possible — ideally at pre-application, so noise informs the layout rather than forcing redesign later.
Yes. We routinely work alongside planning consultants, architects and the wider design team, feeding acoustic evidence into the application so the case is consistent and defensible.
Yes. We undertake the measurements, modelling and reporting required to support the discharge of noise-related planning conditions, providing the local authority with clear evidence that the relevant requirements have been addressed.
It quantifies existing and proposed noise, tests the layout against the relevant standards, and sets out practical mitigation so the scheme can move through planning without a noise objection stalling it.
