Case Studies

United States – Municipal Noise Ordinance Compliance

A city in Illinois implemented octave band analysis as part of a larger effort to manage urban noise pollution. Using portable analyzers deployed at multiple points, city officials were able to distinguish frequency ranges attributed to traffic, construction, and public events. This allowed them to create targeted curfews and inform future zoning policies.

United States – Manufacturing Plant HVAC Noise Optimization

An industrial HVAC manufacturer based in Michigan used our analyzers to identify and isolate high-frequency tonal noise in newly installed air handling systems. The root cause was traced to specific fan blade resonance within the 1/3 octave band, allowing precise engineering corrections.

Canada – Building Acoustic Certification

A Canadian real estate developer in Ontario integrated octave and 1/3 octave band testing into its pre-sale inspection process for LEED certification. The results were used to demonstrate acoustic comfort and compliance with Canadian Building Codes, adding value to their green housing portfolio.
