What is noise and vibration management?
Noise and vibration monitoring is a routine activity for our experienced team and is completed for most of our acoustic projects.
At Trinity, our environmental engineers, scientists and technicians have been providing field noise and vibration measurements for more than 30 years. We support our clients to meet requirements and comply with regulations throughout their projects.
How we help
We tailor our noise and vibration monitoring services to suit sectors including transportation, mining, construction and utilities. We are familiar with green field, brown field, city, remote, coastal, road traffic noise corridor, rail corridor, aircraft noise hangar and construction site projects.
Each type of project or industry has unique noise characteristics and our team have discerning data analysis capabilities to ensure we provide high quality, accurate, valid and representative results.
Whether you require short-term, medium-term, or long-term monitoring, Trinity is ready to contribute to the success of your next project.

- 30+ yrs delivering noise and vibration services
- Field experience supported by extensive modelling expertise
- Intimate knowledge of diverse industries and developments
Trinity capabilities
Here are some of the main ways we support clients with noise and vibration monitoring.
Environmental impact assessments
- A major challenge is negotiating or setting reasonable noise thresholds, which will set your development application conditions, licenses or permits.
- Without representative and accurate noise monitoring data, your DA conditions imposed may be unnecessarily stringent
- This may result in prohibitive cost of noise mitigation measures, or restricted operations.
- Our team members have in-depth field experience to acquire data sets that are current, accurate and representative, to establish reasonable and fair threshold levels for the project proponents and the surrounding community.
Construction noise and vibration monitoring
- You must balance cost, accuracy and reliability to manage these noise and vibration sources effectively.
- At Trinity, we leverage advanced machine learning and noise recognition capabilities to enhance our monitoring processes.
- Our systems support remote connections, enabling real-time SMS and email alerts to assist with making crucial decisions in a timely manner.
Architectural acoustics fit-outs
- Base buildings may have underlying acoustics issues including structure-borne noise, flanking noise and elevated internal noise levels originating from adjacent spaces.
- Baseline noise and vibration monitoring undertaken during the early design phase will assist in identifying the site-specific noise issues and guide our acoustics design advice to meet the design standards.
- Having the baseline data has proven invaluable in helping our clients to make informed decisions, particularly when the measured baseline data indicate that more onerous noise and vibration mitigation strategies will be required.
Dispute and complaint resolution
- When faced with contentious disputes or community complaints, it is paramount to gather high quality, accurate and representative noise data sets to provide indisputable and credible evidence.
- We lean on our team’s experience and on our precise and reliable instrumentation to support clients while protecting the community.
