We recently had the pleasure of presenting a paper at Watercon 2017 about the noise impact of the replacement of the ozonation system at a water treatment plant. Jeff Kwolkoski of Wave Engineering, Inc. co-presented with Matt Sokolowski of Carollo Engineers, Inc. The PowerPoint presentation can be viewed at this link.
Read MoreSound transmission from gun ranges has become a growing concern as shooting sports increase in popularity and firing ranges are built in close proximity to retail areas and residential districts. Wave Engineering works with developers, architects, engineers, and city planners to evaluate potential noise concerns from shooting facilities...
Read MoreMany open office areas employ sound masking systems to create an even distribution of background noise that is just loud enough to help mask distracting noises (particularly from other conversations) without being loud enough to be a nuisance. The system typically consists of special loudspeakers mounted in or above the ceiling and a head-end unit that generates and shapes the noise. Another useful application of sound masking is to improve speech privacy...
Read MoreHigh Impact workouts – such as CrossFit and other high intensity Boot Camp style strength and conditioning programs – are gaining in popularity throughout the country. Neighborhood gyms, which were once quiet retreats where clients worked out independently on treadmills with their headphones on, are now social hubs overflowing with people, activity, and loud music. These modern gyms have become one of the biggest sources of noise complaints we see in retail and multifamily buildings...
