When a noise problem arises, the first step is to measure it. It is essential to assess the extent of the excess with respect to noise limits and to define mitigation goals through an Acoustic Remediation Plan.
Today, noise sensitivity is on the rise: private individuals and companies frequently contact us to report noise-related inconveniences. Finding effective solutions to these problems requires the intervention of a Tecnico Competente in Acustica (TCA), a specialised and licensed professional registered in the national ENTECA register. It is important to avoid do-it-yourself approaches that might even make the situation worse.
In order to design effective acoustic interventions, it is essential to carry out an Acoustic Impact Assessment, i.e. to conduct a noise measurement campaign. This must be carried out with calibrated instruments and in accordance with international standards.
Once the noise levels have been measured, it is possible to compare them with legal limits to determine whether they are exceeded in decibels, which is essential for designing an effective and appropriate acoustic remediation intervention.
Not all TCAs draw up detailed mitigation plans, some only provide general indications without an acoustically dimensioned executive project.
In this context, SILTE stands out for its expertise in designing and implementing even very complex noise abatement plans. Advanced instrumentation such as multi-channel integrating sound level meters, acoustic cameras and software for 3D simulations enable us to provide in-depth diagnoses and precise estimates of expected results.
This article highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis before implementing noise protection systems. Ignoring this step can lead to significant risks and waste of economic resources in non-resolving interventions.
