Noise from the dropping of weights, throwing of medicine balls, and exercise classes transfer through the building structure and cause disturbance to adjacent rooms and building users. In the case of gyms located directly adjacent to residential units, structure-borne noise can cause a significant impact if not sufficiently mitigated. As every building is different we, as standard procedure, carry out site tests prior to any works taking place, and typically prior to a lease being signed, to drop weights in the proposed gym and measure noise levels within adjacent spaces
This allows us to specify noise mitigation within the gym floor build-up in order to reduce noise to acceptable levels. We have experience carrying out sound tests with several key gym flooring suppliers and work with gym operators to find the most cost-effective solution.
Activity noise from exercise classes and sound systems can propagate through walls to adjacent spaces and cause disturbance if the room acoustics and building acoustics aren’t considered in advance.
Our consultants are well versed in the requirements of agymnoise impact assessment and report to address the requirements of the planners. We offer a fast turn around time, provide sensible advice and a cost effective service.
