ACOUSTICS & VIBRATION CONSULTING SERVICES IN LUXEMBOURG AND BELGIUM


WE HAVE HELPED EUROPEAN COMPANIES IN ALL SECTORS SOLVE NOISE AND VIBRATION
PROBLEMS FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS

With unrivalled expertise in the field of vibro-acoustics, backed by more than
25 years’ practical experience, Soft dB is proud to offer acoustical engineering
services and innovative noise & vibration control solutions in Luxembourg,
Belgium, and all over Europe. We employ more than 100 experts, including dozens
of engineers, scientists, and PhDs specialized in vibro-acoustics. We pool our
collective knowledge to solve any problem related to:

 * Architectural acoustics (buildings, open- and closed office layouts,
   auditoriums, etc.);
 * Environmental acoustics (compliance studies, data mapping and studies
   monitoring the impact on acoustic environments, projections detailing the
   post-implementation effect of sound attenuation measures, etc.);
 * Acoustics & vibration levels in industry and construction (monitoring and
   assessment of the integrity of structures and equipment, human perspectives,
   researching effective mitigation measures, etc.);


WORKPLACE ACOUSTICS & SPEECH PRIVACY

The creation of larger and more affordable workspaces can mean acoustic
considerations are often considerably downplayed during the design phase.
Nevertheless, this can have a major influence on the well-being and productivity
of employees. Some rooms are also designated as spaces for sharing confidential
information, but it is not always easy to assess their effectiveness and thus
guarantee that conversations cannot be easily overheard outside these rooms.

Thanks to Class 1 high-precision noise measuring instruments developed in-house,
our architectural acousticians can evaluate your workspace's acoustic privacy
and occupant comfort in accordance with the designated standards applicable in
your country. We'll help you significantly improve workspace acoustics while
keeping your office construction and retrofitting costs down. That's right,
we're also experts in avoiding needless soundproof materials and expenses.


ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE SURVEYS & REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Whether it is caused by transport (road, rail and aviation), industrial or
construction sites, outdoor noise is always subject to regulation. This is
invariably a public health issue because environmental noise can have
significant effects on the health and well-being of humans.

We have the necessary skills to conduct comprehensive environmental studies,
including:

 * A full-scale acoustic characterisation of sound sources
 * Modelling of the sound propagation environment
 * The plotting of sound maps
 * Ranking of noise sources based on their contribution to the soundscape
 * Mitigating measures designed to ensure compliance with european noise
   regulations

In addition, Soft dB has developed its own unattended measurement stations which
allow for real-time monitoring of noise levels, vibrations, traffic trends,
weather and dust concentrations. A technology created to understand the real
long-term impact on the soundscape, including advanced reporting and
notifications to continuously inform decision makers about reducing or shutting
down specific equipment that generate excessive noise or vibrations.


NOISE & VIBRATION CONTROL ACROSS INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES

On a typical industrial site there are acoustic sources which can affect the
comfort and health of the workforce, as well as vibratory sources which can
influence the integrity of critical infrastructures, while
also radiating excessive noise. We perform on-site measurements to better
understand the propagation paths as well as the vibratory and acoustic
behaviours of heavy equipment. However, where this is part of a design process,
or when complex measurements are involved, numerical calculations based on
analytical models or finite element method can be used to better predict machine
vibrations and refine mitigation measures.


ACOUSTICS RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Soft dB is heavily involved in R&D projects arising from vibratory and acoustic
problems which cannot be solved by conventional methods. And because we have
significant numbers of staff who have led or participated in innovative research
projects, we're not only in a position to broaden the scope of our operations to
include vibro-acoustics, aeroacoustics, imaging, etc., but also well-equipped to
recommend field-tested solutions for even the most complex noise or vibration
problems.

CONTROL ACROSS THEIR FACILITIES

COMPLIANCE WITH EUROPEAN NOISE REGULATIONS

In Luxembourg like in Belgium, machines and systems radiating noise beyond the
confines of a site cannot exceed a certain noise level, measured in decibels, in
the immediate vicinity of that site. Acceptable noise limits specified in laws,
regulations, decrees or other legislative documents are collated under the
respective national or regional environmental codes applicable.


LUXEMBOURG NOISE REGULATIONS

In Luxembourg, the two primary regulations governing environmental noise
emissions are:

 * Grand-ducal regulation of 13 February 1979 on noise levels in the immediate
   vicinity of business establishments and construction sites;
 * Grand-ducal regulation of 16 November 1978 on sound levels for music within
   establishments and their vicinity.

Soft dB can help you with administrative procedures such as an environmental
permit application, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), or a request
seeking authorisation for a classified facility (commodo/ incommodo procedure).


BELGIUM NOISE REGULATIONS

In Belgium, federal regulations addressing noise pollution are as follows:

 * Racing sport: Royal decree of 10 June 1976;
 * Music: Royal decree of 24 February 1977;
 * Measurement of construction equipment: Royal decree of 16 June 1982;
 * Household devices : Royal decree of 29 April 2001;
 * Equipment for use outdoors: Royal decree of 6 March 2002;
 * Placing on the market of machinery: Royal decree of 12 August 2008.

The Flemish, Walloon and Brussels-Capital regions have reviewed some of these
regulations and implemented other regulations in the form of orders, decrees or
even VLAREM II in Flanders. Here again, Soft dB can help with administrative
procedures such as an environmental permit application.


EXPOSURE TO NOISE & VIBRATIONS IN THE WORKPLACE

As an employer, it is your responsibility to ensure the health and safety of
your employees. And each and every instance of excessive exposure to noise
and/or vibration can have a significant effect on the health of individuals. In
industrial contexts, the limits of exposure which must never be exceeded, as
well as the values beyond which an employer must take remedial action are
clearly regulated throughout Europe. Nevertheless, the assessment of noise and
vibration exposure levels can be a complex issue, which is why Soft dB offers
you a range of professional services from the evaluation of exposure levels to
the recommendation of appropriate attenuation measures to safeguard the health
of your workforce.


OUTDOOR NOISE & GROUND VIBRATION MONITORING

You can only control what you can measure. Our real-time monitoring solution
helps decision makers take the guesswork out of noise and vibration mitigation,
regardless of industry or project type. With reliable vibro-acoustic data
collected 24/7 and made accessible through a simple web-based dashboard, you’ll
always know when and where to take corrective action to remain compliant with
applicable noise regulations.

REDUCING NOISY OFFICE DISTRACTIONS WHILE IMPROVING SONIC PRIVACY

If one of your goals is to provide a distraction-free workspace atmosphere that
optimizes focus and promotes productivity while ensuring employee privacy and
comfort, sound masking is one of the most cost-effective solutions. Some of the
most successful companies in Europe and the United Kingdom are currently
leveraging sound masking technology across their offices to improve employee
productivity and well-being.


EVER HEARD OF SOUND MASKING TECHNOLOGY?

Chances are you’ve visited an office space running a sound masking system before
without even realizing it. The right sound masking technology allows office
workers to concentrate better and enjoy higher levels of sonic privacy, by
producing a soothing sound that muffles conversations and common distractions
while seamlessly blending into the office background virtually unnoticed.


INCREASED EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY

Sound masking greatly reduces the radius of distraction in open-plan offices.
Employees get a lot less distracted by conversations within 5 to 12 meters from
where a sound masking speaker is located. It becomes easier to concentrate on
tasks and productivity increases measurably.


LOWER OFFICE CONSTRUCTION COSTS

Sound masking reduces the need for plenum barriers, soundproof doors, and thick
drywall layers. It improves the acoustic performance of movable partitions
without sacrificing their flexibility. Office construction costs can be reduced
by up to 32 euros per square meter.


BETTER ACOUSTIC PRIVACY & COMFORT

Lack of privacy is the biggest frustration in today’s workplace. Sound masking
improves acoustic privacy between adjacent workstations and private meeting
rooms by increasing the ambient background sound levels just enough to make
private conversations less intelligible.
