Many planning firms have in-house noise support, and that’s great! But if you’re a planner who either doesn’t have noise expertise under your umbrella, or your noise problem is sufficiently complex or controversial to warrant bringing in more expertise, then give us a call. BAC routinely prepares noise and vibration sections of Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declarations (IS/MND), Environmental Impact Reports (EIR), and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS).  

We offer comprehensive environmental acoustical engineering services, including noise impact assessments for EIR, EIS acoustic analysis, and Mitigated Negative Declaration noise analysis. As experienced environmental noise consultants, we provide noise and vibration impact studies, acoustic environmental impact assessments, and environmental noise mitigation strategies. Our expertise in urban planning acoustics ensures thorough, legally defensible noise studies.  

We work with CEQA literally every day and know it inside and out. We appreciate how critical it is to identify appropriate standards of significance, identify all impacts, and explore feasible mitigation measures. Most importantly, we understand that your project is likely to be heavily scrutinized or perhaps even the subject of unwanted legal attention. You want to get it right the first time with a thorough, technically supported, and legally defensible noise study.

So if your in-house noise team would benefit from extra expertise, if you need someone to fill out the CEQA checklist and provide support for those answers, or you need someone to write your entire DEIR noise section, we're here! If you need us to present the complex noise issues of your project at town-hall meetings or public hearings, give us a call.
