Airborne / Impact Sound Insulation
Sound insulation from neighbours and the outside world is both desirable and a legal requirement in residential developments, educational and some public buildings. In commercial environments, the need exists for effective control of sound leakage; privacy in offices is one important example.

Azymuth offers detailed specification of sound insulating floors, walls, ceilings, glazing systems, doors and roofs. We can provide a complete service from design, through site visits to ensure correct construction and final testing to satisfy Building Control.


Reverberant Sound Control
Control of reverberant sound is a critical concern in a wide variety of building designs. Azymuth provides custom specification of surface finishes and acoustic treatments to allow optimum speech intelligibility and minimise the effect of background noise; this is imperative in classrooms, lecture theatres and conference rooms for example.

Azymuth offers a comprehensive service in creating quality acoustic surroundings for listening to and recording sound and music. A professional recording environment requires effective isolation from outside noise as well as internal elements such as air conditioning. Azymuth work to budget, avoiding over-specification to achieve the right degree of sound insulation and separation.

Azymuth employs computer modelling techniques in the prediction of the likely characteristics of a design and regards faithfulness to the interior design scheme as fundamental in the specification of acoustic treatments.

Testing / Assessment
Providing reliable, accurate results based on rigorous standards and experience, Azymuth offers acoustic assessment and testing for a variety of noise sensistive applications.

Azymuth assessment reports provide impartial, easy to understand information which is useful to both the client and local authority.

We are members of Association of Noise Consultants and accredited for testing through ANC registered tester scheme.
