Overview

Assessment of interior noise levels in offices, open-plan work environments, call centres, and buildings to determine compliance with acceptable ambient noise levels for speech communication and occupant comfort, per SANS 10103.

Methodology

  • Ambient noise level measurements in occupied and unoccupied conditions
  • Assessment against SANS 10103 noise rating curves for the specific building use
  • Identification of noise sources (HVAC, external traffic, equipment, adjacent spaces)

What You Receive

  • Interior acoustic survey report with measured noise levels per area
  • Compliance status against SANS 10103 recommended noise rating limits
  • Recommendations for acoustic treatment and noise source mitigation
Applicable Legislation:
SANS 10103; Environmental Regulations for Workplaces; OHS Act 85 of 1993.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a noise survey?
A noise survey (SANS 10083) assesses occupational noise exposure risk to workers. An interior acoustic survey (SANS 10103) assesses ambient noise levels in buildings for comfort and communication — typically in offices, hospitals, and schools.
