Tenor - Elevating Acoustical Design

Solutions

This is where we would have a simple introduction about the services you provide and the problems you solve.

Building Systems Noise & Vibration Control

Regardless of the project size or location, unwanted
outdoor noise can be a significant issue. During
construction, this can manifest as noise impacting
neighbors or building occupants. Either way, it’s
critical to analyze environmental noise impact for
your project.

Our Approach

To optimize the acoustical design, the acoustic plan is rated based on a risk scale that weighs the impacts to the future building occupants with respect to the perceived quality and functions of the space, the first costs and performance, and the complexity of post-occupancy remediation. Our intention is to empower our clients to understand their design and construction decisions and how these impact the project’s performance success within the schedule and budget.

Proven industry experience.

HOSPITALITY

We work with national chains and boutique proprietors on new facilities and the remediation of existing buildings/issues. Our team will review your performance specifications and your facility goals to develop a holistic acoustic design or remediation plan for your facility. This often includes a review of environmental noise from traffic and airports, noise and vibration impacts from fitness facilities, sound isolation between rooms, and optimizing the function of amenity spaces.

WORSHIP

These spaces can be some of the most challenging for acoustical design because they require a careful balance for both speech and music. Developing a plan that respects the acoustical needs of the community, the history of the faith community and their aesthetic vision requires collaboration to develop a unified solution that balances these elements.

Evidence-based design.
