Healthcare

At Anderson Acoustics, we help our clients achieve their vision when it comes to building acoustics.  We work collaboratively with architects, planners, designers and contractors to create great sounding spaces.

Concept Stage

We undertake detailed noise and vibration studies at concept stage to establish site suitability, achieve planning consent and direct the design of the building, identifying acoustic issues from the outset.

Develop Design

We work closely with the design team to develop building design, providing input across all relevant aspects from construction materials to mechanical services.

Technical Design

We provide detailed design advice and reviews of design proposals and tender returns to ensure the specifications are robust and in line with the design requirements, including sustainability standards such as BREEAM and WELL Building Standard.

Construction and Handover

We provide on-going support to contractors and the design team throughout the construction phase, dealing quickly with ad-hoc acoustic issues as they arise on site and ensuring industrial noise reduction. When complete we undertake acoustic testing to enable sign-off before the building is handed over to the end user.

Noise & Vibration Mitigation

We provide noise and vibration mitigation advice and design for a range of building services and occupational related activities.

Our team supplies strategic input on building design to minimise future noise and vibration issues and to avoid expensive retrospective mitigation measures that might arise from inaccurate planning.

Room Acoustic Design

Many specialist rooms, such as classrooms, offices, halls or performing arts venues require careful control of the internal sound propagation. We provide acoustic design input that takes into consideration room shape and size through to material selection and placement to create the best possible acoustic conditions.

3D Acoustic Modelling

We use state of the art 3D modelling software to design the sound of a space. Using acoustic wireframe models, we can analyse thousands of possible surface geometries and materials to find the optimal acoustic solution.

SonicRoom Auralisation

Using our SonicRoom and advanced acoustic modelling tools, we can model and listen to the sound of a space at the design stage. Often acoustic concepts seem abstract, but with SonicRoom, hearing makes design decisions real.

Evidence-Based Acoustic Solutions for the Healthcare Sector

Acoustic design in healthcare is about more than just noise reduction; it is about privacy, sleep quality, and clinical accuracy. We provide specialist consultancy to ensure facilities meet the highest standards of care and compliance:

HTM 08-01 Compliance: Expert guidance to meet the Health Technical Memorandum standards for acoustic design in hospitals and clinics.

Mental Health Environments: Specialist design to create calm, safe, and supportive acoustic conditions in psychiatric and therapeutic settings.

Medical Research & Laboratories: Precision vibration and noise control for sensitive imaging equipment and high-performance research labs.

Patient Privacy & Confidentiality: High-performance sound insulation strategies for consulting rooms and patient wards to maintain dignity and confidentiality.
