At Herwin Gunawan Work, we provide integrated acoustic vibration and noise control consultancy services for architecture, interior, infrastructure, commercial, hospitality, educational, worship, entertainment, industrial, and urban development projects across Indonesia and international markets.

Our multidisciplinary approach combines building physics, architectural acoustics, environmental noise engineering, vibration mitigation, psychoacoustics, and soundscape strategy to create spaces that are not only compliant — but also comfortable, memorable, productive, and emotionally engaging.

Modern acoustic engineering is no longer only about reducing noise. Today, it plays a critical role in human wellbeing, workplace productivity, learning performance, hospitality branding, urban livability, and immersive user experience.

What Does an Acoustic Vibration & Noise Control Consultant Do?

An acoustic consultant evaluates, predicts, and optimizes how sound and vibration behave within buildings and urban environments. This includes controlling unwanted noise, improving speech intelligibility, enhancing sound quality, mitigating vibration transmission, and designing healthier auditory environments.

Our consultancy services include:

• Building Acoustic Design

• Architectural Acoustic Design

• MEP Noise & Vibration Control

• Environmental Noise Assessment

• Soundscape & Psychoacoustic Design

• Acoustic Simulation & Modeling

• Vibration Isolation Engineering

• Noise Compliance Assessment

• Acoustic Measurement & Commissioning

• Electroacoustic & AV Integration Support

We support project stakeholders from early concept design through construction review, testing, commissioning, and post-occupancy troubleshooting.

Architectural Acoustic Consultant

Designing Better Sound Experience Inside Spaces

Architectural acoustics focuses on how sound behaves inside a room or space. Proper acoustic design improves speech intelligibility, musical clarity, occupant comfort, and overall sensory experience.

We optimize:

• Reverberation control

• Sound diffusion

• Speech intelligibility

• Acoustic absorption strategy

• Room shaping and geometry

• Material acoustic performance

• Interior acoustic treatment integration

Our architectural acoustic consultancy supports:

• Auditoriums

• Concert halls

• Theaters

• Houses of worship

• Meeting rooms

• Podcast & broadcast studios

• Restaurants & hospitality venues

• Educational facilities

• Corporate workplaces

Acoustic performance directly affects communication quality, emotional response, concentration, and user satisfaction.

Reverberation Time Formula

For room acoustic analysis, reverberation time is one of the most important parameters:

𝑅𝑇60=0.161𝑉𝐴RT60=0.161AV​

Where:

• 𝑅𝑇60RT60 = reverberation time

• 𝑉V = room volume

• 𝐴A = total sound absorption

Optimizing reverberation time helps balance speech clarity, musical warmth, and spatial comfort.

MEP Noise Control Consultant

Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing Noise Mitigation

Mechanical systems are among the largest sources of indoor environmental noise problems in buildings.

We provide MEP acoustic engineering services for:

• HVAC noise control

• Chiller and cooling tower noise

• Generator noise mitigation

• Pump vibration isolation

• Duct breakout noise

• Pipe vibration control

• AHU and FCU acoustic treatment

• Equipment enclosure design

• Floating floor systems

• Resilient mounting systems

Our consultancy integrates closely with mechanical and electrical engineers to reduce operational noise without compromising system performance or energy efficiency.

Benefits of Proper MEP Noise Control

• Better occupant comfort

• Improved workplace productivity

• Enhanced sleep quality in hospitality and residential projects

• Reduced vibration complaints

• Compliance with local and international standards

• Lower risk of post-construction retrofit costs

Environmental Noise Consultant

Environmental Noise Assessment & Urban Noise Mitigation

Environmental noise control evaluates how external sound sources affect buildings, communities, and urban environments.

We conduct:

• Environmental noise surveys

• Noise mapping & simulation

• Traffic noise assessment

• Railway & transportation noise analysis

• Industrial noise assessment

• Construction noise management

• Façade acoustic design

• Noise barrier engineering

• Urban environmental acoustic strategy

Environmental noise pollution can negatively impact physical and mental wellbeing, cognitive performance, and long-term health.

We help project owners and developers create environments that balance urban activity with human comfort.

Soundscape Design & Psychoacoustics Consultant

Beyond Noise Control — Designing Human Experience Through Sound

Soundscape design focuses not only on reducing unwanted noise, but also on shaping positive auditory experiences.

This human-centric approach integrates:

• Psychoacoustic analysis

• Auditory comfort strategy

• Sound identity development

• Biophilic sound integration

• Wellness-oriented acoustic environments

• Urban soundscape planning

• Experiential acoustic branding

Soundscape strategy is increasingly important for:

• Public spaces

• Parks and urban developments

• Hospitality projects

• Retail environments

• Wellness facilities

• Cultural and spiritual spaces

• Corporate workplaces

A successful environment is not always silent — it is acoustically balanced, emotionally appropriate, and contextually meaningful.

Acoustic Simulation & Measurement Services

We use engineering analysis, simulation, and measurement tools to predict and validate acoustic performance throughout the project lifecycle.

Our services include:

• Acoustic simulation modeling

• Noise mapping

• Reverberation analysis

• Speech intelligibility prediction

• Daylight-acoustic coordination

• Vibration monitoring

• Environmental noise measurement

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between building acoustics and architectural acoustics?

Building acoustics focuses on sound isolation and vibration transmission between spaces, while architectural acoustics focuses on sound quality and auditory experience within a room.

Why is MEP noise control important?

Mechanical systems can significantly affect occupant comfort and productivity. Proper MEP acoustic design minimizes operational noise and vibration before construction problems occur.

What is soundscape design?

Soundscape design is the strategic shaping of auditory environments to improve emotional comfort, wellness, and experiential quality rather than only reducing noise.

Can acoustic consultants help after construction?

Yes. We provide troubleshooting, measurement, commissioning, retrofit strategy, and forensic acoustic assessment for existing buildings and operational issues.
