ISE's Noise Monitoring & Noise Control Solutions

ISE specializes in custom noise control and monitoring solutions for every imaginable industry application. Whether it is something as simple as a diffractive noise barrier or active monitoring and control - we've got you covered.

Typical noise control and mitigation solutions include:

  • Standard barrier design and abatement following applicable federal (FHWA), state, and local protocols.
  • Advanced acoustical modeling using various tools including the IS3 field propagation model.
  • Field monitoring, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting (MMRP) compliance, and active warning systems.
  • Biological noise monitoring and compliance in accordance with USFWS and CDFG protocols.
  • Active and passive noise control solutions.
  • Small-scale anechoic laboratory testing.

Featured Video Clip (Shock Wave)

A video taken by ISE showing the supersonic expansion of high pressure natural gas in a pipeline. 

The shock wave is clearly visible at the 1:00 min mark as a white cloud above the end of the pipe and produces an acoustic overpressure of close to 140 dB - which is as loud as a rocket engine.
