Planning Assessments
CSG Acoustics conducts comprehensive planning assessments for residential, educational, commercial, and industrial developments worldwide. Our expertise in Environmental Impact Assessments helps clients navigate complex noise regulations while optimising project designs. We specialise in negotiating with local authorities to address overly stringent noise criteria through technical evidence.
Noise Modelling
Using advanced CadnaA software, we create detailed noise models for large-scale projects with thousands of sound sources. This technology enables precise prediction of noise levels in 1/3rd octaves, allowing instant design amendments and significantly reducing calculation time compared to traditional spreadsheet methods.
Building Acoustics
We provide acoustic design support for buildings across sectors, specialising in residential, commercial, and healthcare developments. Our services include faade noise prediction, internal acoustic optimisation, and specification of sound-reducing materials to ensure compliance with building regulations and occupant comfort.
Plant Noise Assessments
Our team assesses noise from mechanical plant equipment, offering tailored solutions for ventilation systems, HVAC units, and industrial machinery. With unique expertise in both assessment and control, we deliver cost-effective mitigation strategies that integrate seamlessly with building designs.
Noise Control Installation
In partnership with Acoustic Hardware Ltd, we design and install custom noise control solutions for challenging projects. Our experienced team ensures safe, efficient implementation of acoustic enclosures, barriers, and treatment systems that meet precise performance requirements while maintaining aesthetic integration.

Report
I have worked with CSG on a number of successful projects where they have acoustically treated equipment both inside and outside of properties. I have been especially impressed with the work they have done in Central London given how little space there is available.
