Sound Planning is a specialist acoustic consultancy and noise-control solutions provider, supporting commercial, industrial and domestic projects throughout the UK.

Established in 2007, the company combines expert acoustic assessment with practical, bespoke solutions for noise and vibration issues. As full members of the Institute of Acoustics, Sound Planning brings the technical knowledge, qualifications and real-world experience needed to help clients understand a problem, meet regulations and move projects forward with confidence.

Its consultancy services cover a broad range of requirements, including commercial and industrial noise assessments, residential noise impact assessments, construction noise surveys, workplace noise assessments, entertainment noise assessments, vibration assessments and sound insulation testing. The team also supports BREEAM projects, helping clients assess internal and external noise impacts in line with relevant criteria.

Sound Planning works with developers, architects, contractors, facilities teams, business owners and private clients. Whether the requirement is connected to planning, building regulations, a workplace issue, machinery, a new development or a complaint from neighbouring properties, the approach remains practical and thorough. Detailed surveys and reports are produced to help clients understand the findings, identify the right course of action and demonstrate compliance where required.

Where noise reduction is needed, Sound Planning can take a project beyond the assessment stage. The company designs, manufactures and installs tailored acoustic control solutions, including acoustic enclosures, compressor and generator enclosures, heat pump enclosures, acoustic louvres, louvre doors, screens and fan attenuators. Each solution is designed around the individual environment, equipment, airflow requirements, visual considerations and expected level of acoustic performance.

From reducing air-conditioning noise at a residential property to managing noise and vibration from major factory machinery, Sound Planning delivers solutions built for lasting performance. Complementary project support can also include ventilation, extraction, air conditioning, electrical works, fire suppression, suspended ceilings, floor finishes, lifting beams and civils works.

Based in Farnham and working nationwide, Sound Planning offers clients a knowledgeable, professional and straightforward route to resolving complex acoustic challenges. The focus is simple: accurate advice, compliant solutions and a result that works in the real world.
