Tech Lab’s extensive acoustic engineering facilities include an anechoic chamber, a hemi-anechoic chamber and two reverberation rooms, all fitted with Brüel & Kjær microphones. We offer a range of testing services to measure acoustic performance and optimise the acoustic behaviour of products and materials.
Our facilities can be used to measure
- Transmission loss and sound reduction index of structures
- Transmission loss (Rw) of walls and doors
- Transmission loss (Rw) of windows
- Sound absorption and insulation
- Sound power
- Audio equipment

Standards
We test to a range of ISO standards, including ISO 354, ISO 10140 / ISO 717-1 / AS 1191, ISO 3741, ISO 3744, ISO 3745 and ISO 389.
We can advise appropriate standards to test against, or undertake developmental testing that doesn’t adhere to a particular standard.
