Prove and solve noise problems in condominiums and homes

Residential noise can be proven with numbers — impact noise from above, building-system noise, or noise from outside. A correct measurement turns a 'feeling' into evidence you can negotiate or act on. The same measurement can support a conversation with a neighbour, a request to the juristic person, or, if it comes to that, a formal complaint or legal claim. We explain what the numbers mean in plain language, not just as a technical report.

When to call us

  • A dispute with a neighbour over noise hasn't been resolved through direct conversation
  • The condo juristic person or management isn't acting on your complaint
  • You're considering formal action and need independent evidence first
  • You're taking handover of a new unit and want to check it meets its acoustic promises

How we help

  • Measure noise levels and/or room-to-room isolation (ISO 16283)
  • Identify where the problem comes from (neighbour, building, or outside)
  • A report to negotiate with the juristic person, developer, or support a complaint
  • Practical, achievable noise-reduction guidance

What you get

  • A field test report prepared following ISO 16283
  • Source identification — airborne, impact, or building-system noise
  • A report suitable for sharing with a juristic person, developer, or in legal proceedings
  • Practical recommendations for reducing the noise at the source or the receiving room

Standards applied

FAQ

Can I measure with an app?
Not for evidence — the law requires a calibrated Class 1 meter and the correct method.
Can it be used in a dispute?
Yes — our report is evidence-grade and signed by an engineer.
Is a measurement really necessary, or can I just describe what I hear?
A description helps start the conversation, but a measurement is what turns 'it's too loud' into a number that a juristic person, developer, or court can actually act on. It also protects you if the other side disputes your account.
Will the neighbour or developer know I commissioned this?
That's your decision — we report to whoever commissions the work, and how you use or share the report afterwards is up to you.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the number of rooms, the type of noise, and whether repeat visits are needed to capture the pattern. Contact us with the details and we'll give you a clear quote before starting.
