Since 1987 we we have undertaken thousands of noise surveys from background noise levels through to music festivals. Its always good to get the opportunity to measure something a little bit different and recently we undertook some noise measurements of Helicopters to inform the noise assessment and control measures for a Helipad within the grounds of one of our clients homes. When assessing noise on the sensitive receivers it is crucial to understand the operational noise level of the proposed noise source. This typically involves multiple measurements at varying distances, locations and operating conditions of the source in question. Utilising this data we can accurately model the noise impact, and provide appropriate mitigation to ensure our advice is accurate and most importantly the noise impact at the residences are suitably controlled Hopefully next time we will get a ride in the Helicopter! #noisecontrol #acousticdesign #soundadvice #acousticconsultants

In this revealing video, the inner workings of the traditional music industry are laid bare, offering insight into a reality that still resonates in today's digital era of streaming services. Despite technological advancements, the narrative remains unchanged: artists often get paid last, caught in a cycle of debt and hardship. Even today, unless one possesses the star power of figures like Jay Z or Taylor Swift, signing with a traditional record label can lead to these struggles. It's a sobering reminder that behind the glitz and glamour, the journey of many recording artists is fraught with challenges that transcend time and technology. #musicindustry #musicbusiness #recordlabels

🚨 New case alert: Film Symphony Orchestra is about the #internationalisation of a Spanish-based professional symphonic orchestra with more than eighty musicians that exclusively offer cinema music concerts. 🇪🇸 Since its creation FSO had a lot of success in the Spanish territory and its founder is considering internationalizing its activity. The case looks at the different options available and the territories possible in the context of the music industry rules. 💡 Pankaj Ghemawat framework is used and the #globalisation of #culture is discussed in classroom.

📢 The Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) is a powerful speaker system used for crowd control and mass communication: - It can emit sound over long distances (5.5 kilometers or 3.4 miles). Roughly the length of Central Park in NY.👂 - Its decibel levels can reach up to 162 dB. It's like standing next to a jet engine during takeoff and getting severe auditory damage from it. ✈️ 🙇 This is one way to use sound for social control. 🎩In my article, you'll find the whole toolkit for becoming a music dictator.
