General Info

We aim to deliver independent and innovative acoustic solutions to enhance comfort and mitigate noise across different sectors.

Based in Sydney, Blackett Acoustics is an independent engineering firm specialising in acoustics, vibration and noise control. We provide acoustical consulting services in areas most affected by noise and vibration issues – that is, architectural, environmental and industrial workplaces.

Blackett Acoustics, an independent engineering firm located in Sydney, specialises in acoustics, vibration, and noise control. Our expertise encompasses a comprehensive range of acoustical consulting services aimed at addressing noise and vibration challenges across various sectors, including architecture, environmental settings, and industrial workplaces. As a leading acoustic consultancy, we help enhance the auditory experience in diverse environments. We offer an extensive array of acoustic solutions tailored to help clients foster comfortable and inviting spaces.

At Blackett Acoustics, our services are designed to preserve property value, mitigate risks, and resolve ongoing issues with various sites. In the realm of architectural and building acoustics, we emphasise the critical importance of sound quality alongside aesthetic considerations. While architects often focus on the visual elements of their designs, the acoustic properties are equally essential for creating functional and enjoyable spaces. When it comes to environmental acoustics, we address sound-related issues that are vital for maintaining a balanced environment.

Furthermore, we ensure that construction activities minimise disturbances to nearby homes and communities. General acoustics is also a significant area of our practice. Many noise complaints arise from inadequately designed or maintained equipment, such as air conditioning units, pool pumps, and industrial machinery. We provide expert guidance and effective design solutions to significantly reduce or eliminate such noise issues. Instead of promoting specific products or technologies, we focus solely on delivering tailored noise, vibration, and acoustic solutions. Contact us!

Thanks a lot, Jimi for an acoustic sound test. Your service is the best of best... When I want to install the timber floor for the small apartment, acoustic sound report was kind of stress. However, from the beginning, your consultation was very detail and helpful. Very friendly and nice engineer !!
Thanks again...

Blackett Acoustics,
I rang 8 different companies looking for an acoustic sound report, all except one (Blackett Acoustics) gave me a price between $3000 to $7000, and on average it will take them up to three weeks to complete.
Blackett acoustics not only delivered the acoustic sound report within two working days as promised, they also provided low fees which really saved me a lot of money, what really amazed me was the price difference, they were cheaper then the rest nd delivered the report in an outstanding time frame.
Customer service, always called back when promised and delivered what they promised, I would highly recommended Blackett Acoustics.
On behalf of my husband and I I would like to thank you to Jimi at Blackett Acoustics.

Thank you Jimi for the wonderful acoustic testing you provided for us in Nov 13.
As we live in an apartment, strata requirements were important to be adhered to. Your advice prior to installation with regard to choosing products was invaluable.

Following installation you were prompt in coming to check our acoustic rating and providing a report to strata management that was clear and concise.

We cannot thank you enough and are happy to recommend your services to anyone who needs an acoustic engineer.

Regards
Sherilynn and Patrick Farrell

We are in the process of preparing plans to build a new home and being under the flight path we were required to contact an Acoustics Engineer to quote on an Acoustics Report. On contacting Jimi from Blackett Acoustics, my instincts from communicating with him were very positive and I immediately felt we didn't need to obtain any other quotes. My instincts were right as Jimi proved himself to be very professional, excellent communicator and was able to produce a very thorough report in minimal time. It was one step of this huge process of building that Jimi made surprisingly easy.

If you need an Acoustics Engineer, I would recommend this Company to anyone needing an Acoustics Engineer and can assure you that it will be one step of the process that you don't need to worry about once he has been assigned to do the job.
