I m now working as an acoustical consultant for Marshall Day Acoustics in Auckland. Room acoustics work can range from the fit-out of open plan office spaces to working as part of the design team for performance venues such as concert halls, theatres and studios. We do a lot of sound insulation work, such as specifying the construction of buildings for the control of aircraft or traffic noise, and testing the sound transmission between inter-tenancy partitions. We also calculate sound transmission via air conditioning systems, and specify the vibration isolation requirements of heavy equipment. Environmental work includes social impact studies of noise-making developments such as new roads, quarries and airport runways.
Every job is different, with new challenges.
