Design and construction of a semi-anechoic room for acoustics R&D works

ITS will participate in the design and construction of an anechoic room for acoustics R&D works near Paris (Île-de-France region, France). The project will provide technicians and engineers with a space enabling high-precision measurements of sound pressure levels and possibly sound intensity inside and outside automobiles to improve acoustic comfort for drivers and passengers during their journeys. With regard to electric vehicles, the aim is not to address the noise emissions of internal...

Design and construction of noise-reducting structures for industry

The design and construction of noise reducing-structures for industry encompasses a variety of activities:

  • studies and design tasks:
    • in terms of acoustics, as regards noise propagation, in enclosed spaces (taking into account the reverberation phenomenon) or outdoors ; the distance - and, when it is significant between a noise source and a given observation point where the sound level must be assessed: atmospheric absorption -, as well as obstacles in the path of sound waves (with their...

Treatment of factory noise nuisance

Regardless of the sector of activity, the treatment of factory noise pollution often addresses two major concerns for manufacturers, in relation to noise regulations:

  • employees porotection, for what European Directive 2003/10/EC concerning the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents (noise) is a reference document, fixing:
    • limit exposure values for workers to noise: exposure level L EX,8h = 87 dB (A) and peak...
