Noise Modelling
Noise Modelling
At dBC, we utilise advanced CadnaA noise modelling software to support site assessments for planning applications. Noise modelling is an invaluable tool for simplifying complex sites or situations, providing a clear understanding of how noise will behave in and around a development. This is especially important for projects that may generate noise from multiple sources or be affected by nearby noise sources, ensuring they meet regulatory requirements and environmental standards.
Our noise models are constructed using a range of data inputs, including site survey information, manufacturer specifications, architectural drawings, and topographical data. By integrating these sources, we create detailed and accurate models that simulate real-world conditions. This allows us to identify dominant noise sources, predict noise levels at sensitive receptor locations, and assess the overall acoustic impact of the development.
In addition, noise modelling enables us to evaluate the effectiveness of potential mitigation measures such as barriers, screens, and enclosures. By testing different strategies within the model, we can recommend the most effective solutions to minimise noise impact and ensure compliance with local noise regulations. This proactive approach helps developers avoid costly delays or redesigns during the planning process.
Whether your project is a residential development, commercial property, or industrial site, noise modelling can provide critical insights to facilitate a smooth planning approval. If you require assistance with noise modelling for your planning application, our expert consultants are ready to help.
