Garage noise can be peaceful

This month Soundguard Acoustics Ltd has been involved with two garage planning applications. General vehicle maintenance and body work repair is associated with noise and residents may understandably raise concern when these businesses relocate nearby. In both instances a BS4142 assessment was undertaken to establish the likely noise impact. Where a noise impact was possible then noise control techniques were applied and included an extraction exhaust silencer for a paint booth and additional internal wall and roof treatments for the building. A sound solution that satisfied planning, the local residents and the expanding businesses.
