We all know buildings where we can’t hear ourselves speak, where the PA system is unintelligible, or where we can hear noise from the next room.Īuralisation and visualisation have been used for consultation events on environmental impacts. The comfort, function and aesthetics of a space depend as much on the acoustic performance as its visual aspects. Developers can also easily communicate the steps they are taking to reduce noise during construction or the operational phase of a development. Imagine being able to show people what their new stadium, concert hall or airport will sound like, the impact of a new highway or railway, and the benefits that noise mitigation will provide.
ISS helps you to analyse and design different acoustic interventions, then present options to your stakeholders and to the public. This immersion is key – it allows you to engage with a simulated soundscape by enabling you to naturally and passively listen as well as critically locate and judge individual sound sources. Sounds might include industrial plants, building services, announcement loudspeakers, transportation, musicians or the natural world. It can be used to simulate sound from any given environment, from static and moving sound sources, man-made or natural. This can be done via headphones or a group of loudspeakers. Unlike mono or stereo, ISS leads listeners’ hearing to perceive sound sources at the desired sound level and the desired direction and distance. ISS works in a similar way to ‘surround sound’. It’s an approach that significantly improves how plans can be communicated to stakeholders and to the public. Our simulations help to allay people’s fears by enabling them to easily hear and intuitively understand what planned changes to their built environment will mean for their soundscapes. ISS is an industry-leading facility that draws on decades of independent research to accurately simulate soundscape scenarios. AECOM’s Immersive Sound Studio (ISS) enables you to do just that.
Imagine hearing what the construction work will sound like. So it’s no surprise that people tend to fear the worst when developments are planned near where they live or work.īut what if developers could dispel those fears by enabling people to directly experience their future soundscapes? Imagine hearing what a planned road, railway or city development will sound like before it’s even built. Whether indoors or outdoors, soundscapes have a direct impact on our health and wellbeing. AECOM’s Immersive Sound Studio makes understanding acoustics intuitive, by allowing design teams, clients and other stakeholders to listen to options. AECOM Acoustics offers innovative sound demonstrations to support acoustic design, planning and stakeholder engagements for Environmental developments or Building projects.
