We’re a specialist noise and vibration consultancy built on a simple idea: rigorous technical work, explained clearly, and clear, technically robust advice.
Forth Noise & Vibration is an independent consultancy working across Scotland and the wider UK. We undertake a wide range of noise and vibration work — from site-specific planning assessments to complex industrial and infrastructure projects.
As an independent consultancy, we provide objective, proportionate advice. We tell you what you actually need, apply the right standard, and deliver conclusions that hold up under scrutiny.
Those aren’t just words for us — they’re how every project runs. We apply the level of analysis the situation demands — no more and no less, and we back our conclusions with sound reasoning rather than boilerplate.
That judgement is what clients come back for: a proportionate scope, a defensible report, and someone who will still pick up the phone if the findings are challenged.
We start by understanding what's really at stake — the decision, the deadline and the standard that applies.
We capture reliable data and model where it adds value, using recognised methods and calibrated equipment.
We interpret the results proportionately, and form a clear view interpreting the data in context and applying clear professional judgement.
You get conclusions and next steps in plain English — and our support if they're ever challenged.
"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."
