Noise Surveys and Sound Testing

Project Portfolio

Welcome to the Parker Acoustics Ltd project page, where we've gathered a showcase of our previous projects and jobs. We are thrilled to share our achievements and take pride in our craftsmanship. We invite you to take a moment to explore our portfolio.

Slice Sixty Eight, South Molton

  • The scheme consisted of the conversion of a former hairdresser unit to a new pizza takeaway (with associated kitchen extraction plant) at ground floor in South Molton town centre.

  • Concerns were raised by the local authority regarding the amenity of the first-floor residents immediately above – they requested a noise impact assessment for the proposed kitchen extract plant and stipulated a separating floor sound reduction of 51 dB DnT,w + Ctr between the takeaway and first floor dwelling.

  • Parker Acoustics were happy to assist with the two aspects of acoustic input required to the project.

  • Firstly, we performed a noise impact assessment for the extract system and assisted with the specification of in-line attenuation to avoid adverse impacts to residents above the takeaway. Planning approval was then granted in Summer 2024.

  • Secondly, we assisted with the acoustic design for the separating floor between the takeaway and first floor apartment to satisfy Part E of the Building Regulations and the local authority criterion of 51 dB DnT,w + Ctr.

  • Once complete in Spring 2025, Parker Acoustics performed sound insulation testing to demonstrate compliance for the above criteria and all tests passed.

Highwood House, Liskeard

  • The scheme comprised the conversion of a retail unit to a new restaurant (with associated kitchen extraction plant) at ground floor and dwellings at first and second floor level in Liskeard town centre.

  • Parker Acoustics were employed to perform a noise survey and noise impact assessment to address a noise related planning condition for the proposed kitchen extract system and were also employed to assist with the acoustic design for separating walls and floors between apartments to satisfy Part E of the Building Regulations.

  • Once complete, Parker Acoustics were called in to perform sound insulation testing to demonstrate compliance for building control sign off– all tests passed with flying colours!

Coombe Mill Farm, Taunton

  • The scheme comprised the proposed change of use of an outbuilding to a proposed joinery workshop at Coombe Mill, Coombe, West Monkton, Taunton.

  • Parker Acoustics were employed by Benjamin Henry Ltd to perform a baseline noise survey at the proposed site, acquire sample noise measurements of typical joinery operations at their other site in Cheriton Fitzpaine. Working closely with the local environmental health department, we assessed the noise impact of the proposal and provided recommendations for mitigation to protect neighbouring residents from adverse noise impacts associated with the proposed relocation

  • The proposal was recently granted planning permission in Spring 2025
