Noise from new construction projects can sometimes cause nuisance to surrounding residents. To ensure the project does not negatively impact the living environment, noise impact assessment and evaluation are conducted by reputable units such as the DASM Institute, helping to determine noise levels and propose effective mitigation measures.

The DASM Institute is a pioneering unit with extensive experience in conducting all forms of noise assessment, with many successful projects across Vietnam.

What does a noise impact assessment include?
The goal of the noise assessment service is to predict whether a development project will negatively affect people living or working nearby.
Typically, the acoustic experts of the DASM Institute will:
+ Measure the current background noise level in the project area.
+ Simulate the expected noise emitted from the project using specialized software.
+ Compare simulation results with baseline levels to assess impacts.
+ If vibration is a potential issue, we also conduct baseline vibration surveys and calculate vibration transmission.
Consulting with DASM experts from the early design stage will help identify potential noise issues and apply effective noise mitigation measures with appropriate sound insulationand sound absorption materials, saving both cost and time.

What happens if a project causes noise nuisance?
Noise impact assessment determines the amount of noise generated and the potential for negative impacts on nearby residents.
A noise-generating project does not mean that the project is a problem, even if residents can hear it.
In case the project is likely to cause negative impacts, DASM acoustic experts will propose noise and vibration control solutions, ensuring safety and cost-effectiveness.
Structures requiring noise assessment
Some projects that are typically required to conduct noise assessment include:
- Factories, industrial zones, commercial centers.
- Restaurants, eateries.
- Bars, clubs, pubs, karaoke lounges.
- Gyms, fitness centers.
- Schools, community buildings.
- Large-scale projects requiring comprehensive environmental assessment.

Standards and regulations applied in Vietnam
The service process for noise survey and assessment of the DASM Institute complies with:
+ International standards ISO 1996:2, ISO 9614, ISO 717, ISO 3382, ISO 10052, ISO 12354, ISO 16032, ISO 16283, ISO 11201
+ Vietnamese standards: TCVN 5949:1995, TCVN 5937:1995, Circular 26/2010/TT-BTNMT...
+ Other guidelines from the Ministry of Construction, Ministry of Transport and relevant local People's Committees.
Compliance with these standards helps accurately determine noise impacts and appropriate mitigation measures.
