Aircraft Noise Measurement
Aircraft noise is one of the most critical environmental concerns around airports. It affects surrounding communities, impacts building design, and directly influences project approvals.
Precision Monitoring for Airports, Developers, and Communities
Aircraft noise is one of the most critical environmental concerns around airports. It affects surrounding communities, impacts building design, and directly influences project approvals.
At Syed Engineering & Acoustic Consultancy (SEAC), we provide specialized aircraft noise measurement, modeling, and building acoustics integration in line with UAE GCAA and Saudi GACA requirements, as well as international standards including ICAO Annex 16, ISO 20906, and FAA Part 150.
Our aircraft noise measurements not only ensure GCAA/GACA compliance but also feed directly into façade and glazing design criteria required under LEED Acoustic Performance credits and Estidama Pearl Building Rating acoustic benchmarks
Why Aircraft Noise Measurement Matters
Community comfort
Protects residents, schools, hospitals, and hotels in flight corridors
Compliance
Required by GCAA (UAE) and GACA (KSA) for environmental approvals.
Building design impact
Noise exposure levels directly determine façade specifications, glazing thickness, and ventilation strategies.
Future-proofing
Supports urban master planning near airports and prevents long-term disputes.

Our Services
Aircraft Noise Monitoring
Mobile and permanent Class 1 monitoring systems (IEC 61672 compliant). Measurement of LAeq, Lmax, Lden, SEL, CNEL for take-offs, landings, and overflights. Reporting against ICAO Annex 16 Volume I and ISO 1996-2.
Noise Modeling & Contour Mapping
Simulation with Cadna-A and SoundPLAN, calibrated with measured data. Contour maps (Lden, Lnight, SEL) for airport boundaries, residential projects, and masterplans. Used for land-use planning, zoning, and building permit applications.
Glazing & Window Design
Selection of laminated/insulated glazing units with appropriate acoustic ratings. Optimized frame and sealant details to avoid leakage paths.
Integration with Building & Architectural Acoustics
Aircraft noise measurements are not just numbers — they are the foundation for designing buildings that protect occupants.
