• Noise + Acoustics Overview

  RWDI Acoustics…..Designing environments for clear sound, acoustical comfort and quiet enjoyment to learn, live, work and play.Acoustics and noise issues are present in every building type.  

  RWDI’s acousticians provide building specific solutions to address room acoustics, sound isolation, building services noise control, environmental noise and aeroacoustical issues on projects around the world.  We integrate our design recommendations with those of the design team in a timely, easily understood, responsive manner, being always cognizant of the overall project objectives.
