Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Acoustic consultant needed

[mark nichols (info]

Here are the sorts of questions I would ask that could lead to some
inventive solutions:  

Are the noise issues related to specific times of the day?
Is the noise a "boredom from repetition" issue (i.e. someone playing the
same thing over and over" or is it a sharp loud infrequent sound thing?
Like hammering in a woodshop. 
Is it a machine sound?  
To what level do you need to eliminate the sound. For example are you
trying to build a studio which keeps sound out or are you trying to keep
sound in?
Is there a chance of incorporating some basic sound stuff into your
design before building (i.e. can you do a floating floor, which means
that you try and minimize sound vibration transfer through connected
wood stuff) Most studios have a floating floor room as a control room. 
What have you tried so far?
What sort of issues could be fixed by scheduling differently?

Mark, Seattle

We are looking for an acoustic consultant to analyze some sound transfer

issues and recommend remediation. Anyone else have experience with this
or 
recommendations of a professional we might use.
