Acoustic Guidance, Noise Control & Industry Insight

Welcome to our Resources hub — a growing collection of practical guidance, technical insight and industry knowledge covering acoustics, soundproofing and noise control.

This section is designed to support industrial facility managers, architects, consultants, contractors and local authority planners who need clear, reliable information on managing noise effectively — from early design and planning through to installation and long-term operation.

Our resources combine technical expertise with real-world application, helping you make informed decisions about acoustic performance, compliance and environmental impact.

Evidence-led guidance on noise and acoustics

Noise is increasingly recognised as more than a comfort issue. Authoritative research — including guidance from the World Health Organization — highlights the impact of long-term noise exposure on sleep, wellbeing and health.

Our resources explore:

• How noise affects people and communities
• The difference between sound absorption and soundproofing
• The role of acoustics in planning, design and regulation
• Practical approaches to reducing environmental and industrial noise

Whether you are responding to planning conditions, managing an operational site, or specifying materials for a new build, these guides are intended to support better outcomes.

What you’ll find in our Resources hub

🔹 Acoustic guides and explainers

Clear, accessible articles explaining core acoustic principles, materials and performance considerations — ideal for both technical and non-technical audiences.

🔹 Noise control and soundproofing advice

Practical guidance on reducing airborne and structure-borne noise in industrial, commercial and mixed-use environments.

🔹 Planning, standards and compliance insight

Articles covering UK acoustic regulations, standards and best practice to support planning submissions and project delivery.

🔹 Product-led knowledge

Educational content that explains how and why different acoustic products are used — helping specifiers and contractors choose the right solutions.

Using our resources in your projects

The content in this hub is designed to be:

• Evergreen — relevant beyond short-term trends
• Practical — focused on real-world application
• Supportive — useful alongside professional acoustic advice

Many articles link directly to relevant acoustic products, systems and applications, making it easier to move from understanding a problem to identifying a potential solution.

If you’re working on a project that involves industrial noise, environmental noise control or soundproofing, these resources provide a strong starting point.

Need project-specific advice?

Every site and application is different. While our resources provide general guidance, effective noise control often requires a tailored approach.

If you need support with:

• Selecting appropriate acoustic products
• Understanding noise control options for a specific site
• Addressing planning or environmental noise concerns
