Integrating sound solutions into nation building

From inland freight routes to futuristic power corridors, Australia’s infrastructure blueprint is bold, ambitious, and humming with potential. But in the middle of all the digging, drilling, and building, there’s one force that tends to go unnoticed – until it causes your ears to start ringing.

Noise.

While it rarely grabs headlines, noise is one of the most persistent challenges in large-scale infrastructure. Whether it’s a tunnel boring machine reverberating through a suburb, or ventilation systems humming outside a hospital, sound has a way of lingering long after the tools are packed up.

That’s where the science of silence comes in.

AcousTech is bringing infrastructure noise control into the future

At AcousTech, we build acoustic solutions for the spaces and futures Australia is designing. We help infrastructure teams create quieter, safer environments that respect communities, protect workers, and uphold compliance. And we do it with rigour, insight, and a little acoustic magic.

Here’s how we’re making noise control part of the nation-building equation.

Noise is more than just an annoyance

When construction kicks off near homes, schools, or care facilities, unmanaged sound quickly becomes more than a background hum. It interferes with sleep, learning, health, and productivity. It also puts pressure on local councils, developers, and regulators to find a balance between progress and peace-of-mind.

Noise matters. And planning for it early keeps projects running smoothly and communities on side.

What can be done about infrastructure noise? Quite a lot, actually

AcousTech solutions are tailored, tested, and ready for real-world conditions. Whether your site needs temporary flexibility or permanent integration, we’ve got you covered.

Sonic Acoustic Curtains

Our Sonic acoustic curtains are designed to adapt to your site’s needs. Ideal for high-noise zones like generator areas or pile-driving locations, they help bring dB levels down to safer, compliant thresholds.

You’ll often find them lining the edges of major civil sites, or being quickly installed when complaints start rolling in! Engineered to reduce noise by up to 27 dB(A), they’re proof that soft materials can make a solid impact.

Sonic Series Acoustic Louvres

Ventilation shouldn’t come at the cost of quiet. Our Sonic Series acoustic louvres combine airflow and sound control with architectural finesse. Perfect for stations, substations, and utility buildings, they’re made for projects that need to breathe without broadcasting the noise of every motor and fan to the world.

Sonic Access Acoustic Doors

Every well-designed facility has a few spaces where silence matters most. That’s where our acoustic doors come into play. Whether you’re shielding a control room or sealing off plant equipment, these doors deliver solid acoustic integrity with a sleek finish. They can reach up to Rw50 performance, and yes, we’ll customise them to suit your structure.

Why noise control matters for infrastructure

Infrastructure isn’t just about roads, rails, and wires. It’s about building systems people can live beside, work within, and move through comfortably. Sound is part of that experience, whether we notice it or not.

That’s why at AcousTech, we work with engineers, architects, project managers, and government agencies to integrate sound solutions from the get-go. It’s not just about ticking compliance boxes (although we know those inside and out). It’s about improving health, safety, and public confidence in what’s being built.

And that matters – for this generation and the next.
