Technological consultancy "Acoustic innovation"

There are increasingly few areas in Belgium - and more in particular in Flanders - that are free from any human noise (traffic, machinery...).
Since a few years, much attention is being paid to (standards related to) noise pollution caused by night flights, night-shops, increasing traffic. Sometimes, people tend to be so hypersensitive that they will file complaints against noisy children on playgrounds. One thing is clear: the consumer is making increasingly high demands on his acoustic comfort.

The new standard NBN S01-400-1 (2007) - Acoustic criteria for residential buildings - includes very severe requirements to the acoustic properties of buildings and construction products for the residential construction market, which are expected to become even more severe by 2010.

The technological consultancy service acoustic innovation supports textile companies in developing innovative products meeting these needs and demands.
