      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!

      We chose Blackett Acoustics after calling several places, several reviews and speaking to Jimi. I needed Jimi for Accoustics sound report as we were putting in floorboards in an apartment.

      I found Jimi to be professional, fair priced and delivered in a timely manner.

      I would be very happy to recommend Jimi for his services.

      We chose Blackett Acoustics primarily based the reviews below - and I can confirm we are very happy and thoroughly satisfied with the work and reports Jimi has provided and are very happy to recommend them.

      We retained him based on a request by Sydney City Council because we were changing the use of an area above a pub to residential. Jimi was totally professional, explained the process and delivered his report on time. I should also mention that his pricing was very competitive.

      We used Jimi from Blackett Acoustics to prepare our acoustics report for council to satisfy the requirements of our DA. Jimi gave an excellent service, with a very competitive quote, a thorough and clear report, and has been only too happy to discuss the acoustic findings and our options for the renovation. Thanks Jimi

      Thanks Jimi.

      I am very grateful for your excellent service. You were very easy to deal with offering numerous times that my neighbor and I could discuss to find a convenient time to conduct the noise test. Your service was highly professional and you conducted the test with great efficiency and your manner was impeccable, with nothing being too difficult to deal with, given the high security in our building and limited parking on the street. The report you provided was detailed and timely and your communication clear and concise. I would have no hesitation in recommending your highly professional services.

      Thank you and congratulations.

      Jimi from Blackett acoustics did exactly what we needed for our DA and CC. We needed both an acoustic report (as our house is under the flight path in the inner west) and noise and vibration management plan. He was easy to deal with, got the reports to us within two weeks and most of all, it satisfied the requirements from a very tough council. I would have no hesitation in recommending Blackett Acoustics and if I needed another report done, I will be using Jimi.

      Hi Jimi,

      I am truly appreciative of the acoustic testing you did for us. It was conducted in a professional manner and yet you still showed a lot of care in addressing all the questions one would have when doing an acoustic test for an apartment. You also made sure that the strata requirements were important to be adhered to.

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

      Blackett Acoustics delivered excellent service from start to finish - from the reasonable and quick turnaround on the quote, the deployment of equipment on-site, the preparation of the acoustic report - they are a pleasure to work with. The principal acoustic consultant, Jimi, was very happy to answer questions and provide guidance on what to expect. I highly recommend them - good value for service.

      Blackett Acoustics produced a professional acoustic engineering report. They used high equality equipment to get the most accurate results for the sound-testing. The acoustic engineer explained the post-flooring installation examination process clearly to ensure we met building & strata report requirements. Blackett Acoustics delivered excellent acoustic engineering services.
