At Quantum Acoustics, we provide Soundscape Assessments in line with the ISO 12913 international standards, focusing on how sound is perceived and experienced, not simply measured.

A soundscape is the acoustic environment as perceived and understood by people in a place, encompassing both positive and unwanted sounds. This human-centred approach recognises that environments with similar sound levels can be experienced very differently depending on context, sound sources, and people’s relationship with a place.

Our soundscape services complement traditional noise assessments by examining how sound influences perception and behaviour, helping to determine whether spaces feel calm, vibrant, or intrusive. We support planning applications, Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG) assessments, placemaking initiatives, and Local Authority policy development.
