Every acoustic problem is unique. So is our methodology.
Diagnosis
Precise analysis of the problem is the most important work we do. We identify sources, frequencies, propagation paths and structural transmission. Without this foundation, any solution is merely a hypothesis.
See acoustic diagnosis →Design
With diagnosis as the foundation, we design the technical solution: system and material selection, computational modelling, predictive verification of the result. The goal is to ensure, before execution, that the solution works.
See acoustic design →Execution
We manufacture, install and coordinate the works with full technical responsibility. The execution phase closes the cycle with a final on-site measurement that verifies the result against the project's objective.

At SNA Acoustic Consultancy we continue advancing in the development of innovative solutions, and we are pleased to announce the upcoming creation of a new high-performance acoustic testing laboratory. This space has been conceived to offer advanced capabilities in acoustic insulation evaluation, as well as characterisation of equipment and systems under controlled conditions, including low-frequency measurements from 31.5 Hz.
The laboratory will comprise several interconnected test rooms designed under rigorous technical criteria, enabling not only standardised insulation tests but also the evaluation of silencers, acoustic louvres, ventilation systems and industrial equipment. Thanks to its design and dimensions, this new infrastructure will allow testing of large industrial equipment under laboratory conditions, significantly expanding the scope of acoustic studies. In this way, SNA reinforces its R&D capacity and positions itself as a benchmark in applied acoustic analysis for the industrial, energy and building sectors, offering clients more precise, efficient and tailored solutions.

An approach based on diagnosis, not the catalogue.
Most acoustic problems receive answers that do not fit the real problem. Not because the solutions are incorrect in themselves, but because they are applied without sufficiently deep prior analysis. An inadequate material, an oversized solution or intervention on the wrong element not only fail to solve the problem — they sometimes make it worse.
At SNA we always start from understanding the physical phenomenon. We analyse the real behaviour of sound in each project's specific environment — its frequencies, its transmission paths, its interaction with the structure — before formulating any proposal. This approach allows us to design efficient solutions: tailored to the real problem, verifiable before execution and measurable in the final result.
Our methodology is organised in three phases that are not independent silos but a continuous process of analysis, decision and verification.
