Impact Acoustic Testing
Assessing Sound Transmission & Structural Noise Control
At METS Lab, we specialize in Impact Acoustic Testing, evaluating how structures and materials respond to impact-generated noise. Our testing ensures compliance with international standards such as ASTM, ISO, and EN, helping architects, engineers, and developers optimize acoustic performance in residential, commercial, and industrial spaces.
Why Impact Acoustic Testing Matters?
Impact noise—such as footsteps, dropped objects, or mechanical vibrations—can significantly affect occupant comfort and privacy. Proper testing helps identify weak points in sound insulation and provides data for improving building designs and material selection.
