Services Offered by the Acoustic Testing Department for Buildings and Environmental Settings

First: Building Acoustic Insulation Testing

01. Sound Insulation Testing Between Rooms (Airborne Sound):

• Measures sound insulation between interior spaces (e.g., bedrooms and living areas).
• Verifies insulation performance of walls, ceilings, and floors.
• Complies with ISO 16283-1 / ASTM E336 / ISO 140-4 standards.

02. Impact Sound Transmission Testing:

• Measures noise caused by footsteps or impacts on floors.
• Conducted using a tapping machine.
• Complies with ISO 16283-2 / ISO 140-7 standards.

03. Acoustic Insulation Testing for Doors, Windows, and Facades:

• Measures acoustic performance of doors and glass windows.
• Tests sound insulation of external facades.
• Complies with ASTM E90 / ISO 10140 standards.

Second: Environmental Acoustic Testing

04. Environmental Noise Monitoring:

• Measuring noise levels in residential, commercial, or industrial areas.
• Evaluating compliance with Saudi and international environmental noise standards.
• Conducting long-term daytime and nighttime measurements.

05. Preparation of Acoustic Impact Assessment Reports:

• Conducting acoustic environmental impact studies for new projects.
• Creating acoustic models using specialized software (e.g., CadnaA or SoundPLAN).

Third: Verification of Acoustic Insulation Solutions

06. Post-construction Acoustic Verification:

• Ensuring the effectiveness of installed acoustic insulation materials (walls, ceilings, floors, doors).
• Inspecting execution quality and detecting sound leakage points.

07. Acoustic Design Consulting:

• Providing technical recommendations for acoustic insulation during the design phases of projects.
• Reviewing technical specifications of insulation materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is sound insulation testing in buildings?

Sound insulation testing measures how well materials or structural systems reduce noise transmission between spaces in a building to ensure acoustic comfort for occupants.

It enhances quality of life and prevents unwanted noise transfer between rooms, units, or floors — crucial in residences, hotels, schools, hospitals, and offices.

Airborne Sound Insulation (between rooms or partitions) Structure-borne/Impact Sound Insulation (e.g., footsteps, knocks) Environmental Noise Measurements (surrounding noise levels)

We use certified equipment like sound level meters, calibrated loudspeakers, tapping machines, and frequency analyzers.
