Acentech’s design solutions improve comfort, usability, and acoustic performance, whether by enhancing speech clarity in classrooms, ensuring quiet in healthcare spaces, or delivering the best sound in theaters.

Acentech provides building acoustics and noise control consulting to architects, owners, and design teams across the U.S. and internationally. We design room acoustics, sound isolation, and quiet mechanical systems to meet project-specific criteria (speech clarity, privacy, NC/RC targets). From concept through construction, our team applies modeling (including 3DListening®), testing, and practical detailing to create spaces that sound as good as they look.

BUILDING ACOUSTICS & NOISE CONTROL SERVICES

We identify and solve acoustical challenges with creative, practical, and cost-effective strategies that support project goals. We work with architects and designers to inform room geometry, finishes and furnishings relative to their acoustic impact on the occupants. We design interior and exterior constructions that provide suitable levels of sound isolation, and work with mechanical engineers to design quiet building systems that meet noise criteria and occupant expectations.
