Evidence-based design to optimize the way your world sounds, so you can
where you live, work, and play.
Architectural Acoustic Design
The perception of sound within a building is influenced by the design, construction, and finishes. We provide solutions that ensure quality performance based on industry standards and direct user feedback.
Building Systems Noise & Vibration Control The most common source of background noise in buildings is mechanical and operation systems. We bring a pragmatic approach to control strategies and systems to meet your performance goals.
Vibration Analysis & Mitigation
Limiting vibration transfer is critical for sensitive building, equipment, and operations. Structure-borne vibration is a common source of noise complaints and we document the sources and path to ensure you meet your project requirements.
Manufacturing & Industrial Noise Control To improve health and safety within manufacturing environments the sources of noise need to be quantified and controlled. We examine the root cause of noise and evaluate the human impacts to develop solutions for hearing protection that go beyond ear plugs.
Acoustical Testing & Commissioning
Validating acoustical performance is paramount to ensuring design and construction success. We focus on delivering successful projects with measurable high-performance results.
Expert Witness & Technical Support
Deciphering the intent and meaning of standards, codes, and criteria ensures a fair application for all parties. Our team supports organizations that are developing standards or researching solutions to improve the built environment.
Acoustical solutions in harmony with
your design.

I needed acoustical testing to get HOA approval to install hard surface flooring in my condo, and I wouldn't have been able to install new floors without the exceptional service provided by Tenor. They went above and beyond the required acoustical testing I hired them for, by taking the time to meet with my HOA in-person and advocate for me as a client.

In developing an innovative building technology, we had the need for an acoustical engineer that was able to look at the science with a unique perspective. What we found in Tenor were engineers that were willing to think outside the box and apply their skills, knowledge, and experience to assist us in reaching our high acoustical standards.

I have had the pleasure of working alongside Erik in ASTM, ASA, ASHRAE and IWBI, where I’ve witnessed his professionalism and expertise; and perhaps more notably, his skill in communicating highly technical concepts clearly and concisely. His active participation in the development of standards is a reflection of his commitment to high-quality consulting and engineering, which he engages with great enthusiasm.

Erik has been a pleasure to work with over the years and has always made us feel like a priority. His knowledge of acoustics and construction are far beyond our expectations and have resulted in substantial saving on both materials and labor.
