BABICHacoustics works with architects and building owners during the design process to determine effective space planning and sound isolation solutions.

Mixed-use buildings include a variety of challenges. A building may include a noisy commercial tenant with planned adjacency to a quiet office space or residential unit.

Structural vibration and vibration-induced noise are common challenges in modern building design and construction. While often unnoticed, they can manifest as subtle hums, stronger resonances, or even minor movements that impact how a building feels and functions.

What causes mechanical noise in buildings?

Mechanical noise is often generated by building systems such as HVAC equipment, pumps, fans, and elevators. These systems can create both airborne noise and structure-borne vibration that travels through walls, floors, and ceilings.

Acoustical consultants evaluate equipment sound levels, vibration transmission paths, and system design to help reduce noise and ensure that building systems operate without disrupting occupants.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

The spaces we design shape how we experience the world around us. Thoughtful acoustical design can help create buildings that are more comfortable, efficient, and supportive of the people who use them every day.

Today is a great reminder that good design includes caring for both our environment and our communities.

Environmental noise control solutions are essential to meet community noise codes. Noise surveys and assessments should be completed before a project begins to capture the costs of noise control solutions. On any project, design teams are encouraged to include an acoustical consultant to reduce community noise concerns.

Transforming existing spaces to give them a new purpose is rewarding work. At BABICHacoustics, we take pride in helping architects and other engineers breathe new life into educational spaces.

Take a look at our blog post Adaptive Reuse in Higher Education to learn how we transformed three spaces for Kent State University, Johns Hopkins University, and Princeton University!

BABICHacoustics provides acoustic and noise-control solutions for classrooms, sports complexes, and learning spaces.

Speech intelligibility is the primary concern in classrooms and instructional spaces. Reverberation in the room is controlled through cost-effective acoustical treatments while maintaining aesthetics. Using proper constructions and mechanical design techniques reduces noise from adjacent spaces.

What is Noise Criteria (NC) and why is it important?

Noise Criteria, or NC, is a rating system used to evaluate background noise levels within a space, typically from mechanical systems like HVAC. Each type of space has a recommended NC level based on its use. For example, a conference room or classroom requires lower background noise than a lobby or hallway.

By designing to the appropriate NC level, acoustical consultants help ensure spaces are comfortable, functional, and support clear communication.

Sound isolation, acoustics, and mechanical noise control are especially important for quieter spaces like museums.

BABICHacoustics worked on multiple projects at the Frick Arts and Historical Center to create a warm, quiet environment for visitors inside and surrounding neighbors.

Achieving acoustical goals is not optional; it is necessary for modern infrastructure development. As data centers and other industrial facilities scale to meet the demands of a digital economy, the main goal of environmental noise control is to bridge the gap between high-output industrial productivity and community noise control requirements.

Speech intelligibility is the primary concern in classrooms and instructional spaces. Reverberation within the room is controlled with cost-effective acoustical treatments while paying attention to aesthetics.

Using proper constructions and mechanical design techniques reduces noise from adjacent spaces. We are proud to have worked with a variety of universities in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and Northeast!

When should an acoustical consultant be involved in a project?

The earlier, the better. Acoustic decisions impact architectural layout, mechanical system selection, structural design, and interior finishes. Bringing an acoustical consultant into the planning and programming phase helps avoid costly revisions later and ensures the design supports both performance and occupant comfort.
