We're making the world a quieter place

Power generation and distribution covers a broad spectrum of processes and activities, across fossil fuels, green energy, cogeneration, standby and continuous sources.  Our global demand for power to support our growth in population, technology, data, infrastructure and connectivity continues to rise exponentially.

IAC Acoustics is positioned as a global leader in the provision of noise control solutions for the power sector – bringing together over 70 years experience combined with an extensive range of product and packaged solutions, we help support the environmental noise impact of power generation to make the world a quieter place.

Mining for raw materials with oversize vehicles and excavators, alongside the associated processing and power generation facilities, is a noise intensive process requiring robust acoustic solutions.  

We work in pre and post production assembly states with the world’s largest blue-chip OEMs, providing effective environmental noise and exhaust solutions in some of the most challenging and demanding conditions.

Industrial acoustics is where it all began for the IAC Acoustics Group in 1949.  Solving noise control issues for better environments and personnel safety on projects across industrial equipment, roof top plant, ventilation systems and factory noise control, was the origin of many key noise control products and solutions.

As the density of population increases, the inevitable overlap between industrial, residential and commercial spaces will continue – noise control regulations to protect people and the environment are supported by our industrial noise control solutions, which will become an even more important part of our everyday lives and well-being.

The global demand for data and technology advancement in all facets of our lives – work, phones, music and vehicles, through to the changing energy landscape – all relies on data centre infrastructure.  Whether internally or externally, data centres require noise control to provide safe working practices and to enable integration into our built environment.

Mechanical electrical equipment for cooling, stand-by power generation, data halls and perimeter screening for external noise sources are all key elements of data centre planning approval.  We provide a range of product and packaged noise control solutions to support the infrastructure growth and technologies we rely on everyday.

Safety and reliability are paramount to the aviation and aerospace sectors, whether for civilian or military aircraft.  Our safety and aero-acoustic solutions are intrinsic to aviation best practice both on and off airfield – our jet blast protection and ground run-up enclosures ensure compliance and safety with CAA regulation.

We go beyond the airfield to support the world’s largest aero-engine manufacturers, creating test facilities enabling the design, development and testing of off-wing engines, or on-wing testing in full size hush houses.

We are one of the largest suppliers of acoustic test chambers and facilities in the world for professional testing organisations, research laboratories and universities. A go-to solution provider, we utilise our acoustic expertise and extensive product portfolio to supply a complete turn-key package – we can help you reduce overall project spend and guarantee that complex acoustic ISO specifications are achieved.

From anechoic chambers, to transmission suites, reverberation and listening rooms, we have a solution to meet the most demanding acoustic test requirements and set the standard for professional testing facilities.

The world’s automotive sector turns to IAC Acoustics to provide high performance NVH test environments, enabling it to refine, develop and deliver products to market.  Across every application in the development of vehicle technology – from combustion and electric vehicles, powertrain, environmental performance and engine test cells – we provide high performance ISO accredited turn-key solutions.

Whether its pass-by chambers for road traffic noise ISO 362 assessment, or vehicle semi-anechoic chambers for noise and vibration analysis, our automotive test facilities support blue-chip global automotive brands in delivering safe, quality assured vehicles to our highways.

We create comfortable, safe adult and paediatric audiology testing environments which meet or exceed ISO 8253 or HTM 2045.  Whether its small hearing screening booths, mobile test facilities, or a suite of custom designed rooms, we have the experience and solutions to meet your audiology testing needs.

Our expertise and performance in audiology leads us to work with some of the world’s leading research organisations for the development of cochlear implant solutions and audio visual immersion labs.

The future development of any society is widely recognised to be dependent on its children and their education.  Increasing focus is placed on the impact of education environments – acoustics within the classroom, music practice, arts and sports spaces, is a vital element in the delivery of education quality.

Beyond direct room acoustics affecting children’s hearing and understanding, wider indirect noise sources such as HVAC, boiler systems and stand-by power all need noise control treatment.  We support many large education facilities and universities in their transition to off-grid, localised, combined heat and power [CHP] solutions for reduced carbon emissions.

In our digital society, the creation of audio and visual content is more evident than at any time previous.  Whether it be music or film production, voice over, mixing, mastering, rehearsal, live performance or the acoustic treatment of arts and cultural spaces such as theatres and museums, we expect high quality spaces, content and performances.

We support all areas of studio, broadcast and performance, creating the high performance acoustic environments, rooms and products which enable artists to excel.
