Scope of Acoustic Testing Services
Cornerstone provides on-site acoustic testing services, ensuring convenience and flexibility for our clients.
Noise Impact Assessments
Measure and assess noise levels generated by buildings and their impact on surrounding areas to mitigate potential noise disturbances.
Sound Insulation Testing (STC)
Evaluate the Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings to assess airborne sound transmission between rooms and floors. This helps identify areas needing improvement in sound insulation and privacy.
Reverberation Time (RT) Measurement
Assess the acoustic reverberation characteristics within rooms to optimize sound quality. Recommendations are provided to improve speech intelligibility and overall acoustic comfort.
Room Noise Level Measurement
Measure ambient noise levels in different areas of buildings to ensure compliance with occupational health and safety standards and create quieter, more comfortable environments.
Impact Insulation Class (IIC) Testing
Evaluate the impact sound insulation performance of floor-ceiling assemblies, ensuring reduced noise transmission and a quieter environment for occupants.
Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) Measurement
Determine the average sound absorption capability of surfaces using NRC measurement. This improves speech intelligibility and reduces reverberation within spaces.
