Acoustical Design and Noise Control
Big Sky Acoustics is an acoustical consulting practice based in Helena, Montana that specializes in architectural acoustical design and environmental noise assessment. It routinely conducts noise studies and provides custom noise control design recommendations.
Sean ConnollyFounder & Acoustical Consultant
Kristin ConnollyProject Manager
Focuses on optimizing the auditory experience and sound isolation within buildings. It delivers custom recommendations for room reverberation, sound transmission class testing, and mechanical system vibration isolation.
Comprehensive design services to optimize sound paths, reflection, and absorption within interior spaces.
Acoustical design and evaluation to ensure speech privacy and meet healthcare information security standards.
Acoustical consulting aligned with green building rating systems to earn indoor environmental quality credits.
Engineering solutions to mitigate noise generated by heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
Analysis and treatment of internal room reflections to achieve optimal speech intelligibility and musical clarity.
Design of wall, floor, and ceiling assemblies to prevent sound transmission between adjacent spaces.
Field measurements of Sound Transmission Class and Impact Insulation Class to evaluate acoustic performance.
Structural design and isolation solutions to prevent mechanical vibrations from transmitting through building elements.
Analyzes and models outdoor sound levels to assess environmental impact and ensure regulatory compliance. Services include traffic noise studies, HUD noise evaluations, and predictive sound contour modeling.
Acoustical assessments performed in compliance with Department of Housing and Urban Development guidelines.
Computerized sound propagation modeling to generate predictive maps and noise level contours for proposed projects.
Ambient noise monitoring and 3D terrain-based sound modeling to character existing and future noise environments.
Assessment of roadway and transit noise impacts, including barrier design and exterior-to-interior noise reduction.
Develops specialized mitigation strategies for industrial and mechanical equipment. It designs custom sound abatement systems to reduce noise propagation and satisfy community guidelines.
Targeted engineering solutions to silence noisy machinery, generators, and industrial equipment.
Design and implementation of barriers, enclosures, and silencers to resolve community noise issues.
