Noise and Vibration Management
We reduce noise at source by engineering vibration control into the system — measurement, analysis and mitigation design that cut radiated sound and achieve compliance. Explore our vibration analysis and regulatory compliance services.
What We Deliver
Design & Mitigation
Isolation, damping, stiffness re-tuning and support design to break transmission paths and suppress excitation.
Compliance & Assurance
BS 4142, BS 6472, ISO 2631 and VC criteria acceptance testing with auditable reporting and action plans.
Industries We Support
Noise and vibration management for sensitive environments and industrial operations.
Manufacturing
Source-level fixes for fans, pumps, compressors and rotating machinery.
Research & Labs
Protecting instruments and processes with proven mitigation.
Healthcare
Structure-borne noise and vibration control in clinical estates.
Microelectronics
Vibration criteria and acceptance testing for sensitive tools.
Construction
Managing construction vibration and structure-borne sound.
Energy
Noise and vibration on rotating equipment and pipework.
Transport
Mitigation for rail, road and plant interfaces.
Pharma
Process integrity with controlled noise and vibration.
Why Choose Mechanical Engineering Consultants
Independent consultants specialising in vibration and dynamics — we engineer solutions, not product catalogues.
Depth of Expertise
29 years in noise & vibration acquisition, analysis, structural dynamics and design.
Evidence-Led
Measurement, modelling (FEA) and verification with audit-ready reporting.
System-Level Design
Isolation, damping and tuned solutions integrated into buildable frames.
Independent
Technology-agnostic recommendations validated by repeat testing.
You get a complete engineered consultancy solution — survey → design → verification → acceptance.

Integration into plinths, machinery bases or structures.
Commissioning with vibration testing and modal testing.
Tuned & Damped Solutions
Tuned mass dampers for resonance control.
Damping and stiffness re-tuning of frames and supports.
Drive and control optimisation — see vibration engineering & NVH.
Noise Surveys & Reports
Planning/operations reports to BS 4142 and BS 8233.
Vibration correlation where it informs source control — see structure-borne sound prevention.
Actionable mitigation prioritised by risk and cost.
Workplace & Environmental Compliance
Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 strategies that reduce radiated noise via source-level vibration control.
Acceptance to BS 6472, ISO 2631 and VC criteria.
Clear evidence packs for duty-holders and planning.
