Acoustic investigation with acoustic testing facilities

We offer measurements for all types of products and support you in complying with legal standards and regulations. Whether garden equipment, tools or office equipment - we help you to document noise emissions and fulfil specific requirements in terms of immission control.

For building components such as windows, walls and doors, we offer solutions for airborne and impact sound insulation so that you are a decisive decibel ahead of the competition. We also improve room acoustic comfort using suitable materials and absorbers to increase speech intelligibility and minimise sound propagation.

Noise protection is particularly important at workplaces. Uniform specifications apply throughout Europe, which we support with standardised measurements and assessments. For decades, we have been supporting product manufacturers, companies, local authorities, planners, architects and building owners with well-founded solutions to problems and carrying out research projects on behalf of the federal government, federal states and associations. You can rely on our expertise in noise parameters in accordance with German, European and international standards.
