What Amplitude Acoustics does

Amplitude Acoustics is a privately held acoustic consulting firm headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, founded in 2015 and operating additional offices in Cork and Belfast. The firm provides specialist acoustic, noise, and vibration consultancy services to enterprise clients across Ireland's building, infrastructure, and energy sectors. Its service portfolio spans building acoustics design, sound insulation testing, TGD-E compliance certification, workplace noise and vibration assessments, planning and environmental noise impact assessments, wind farm noise assessments, vibration monitoring, and real-time noise monitoring. The company is a registered Sound Insulation Testing Register of Ireland (SITRI) tester and the exclusive Irish distributor for Sinus Messtechnik acoustic and vibration measurement equipment, with a collaborative partnership with Munisense for cloud-based real-time monitoring solutions.

The firm's technology stack combines established acoustic modeling software (INSUL, SoundPLAN, Sound Design) with proprietary physical instrumentation and an in-house R&D program in acoustic metamaterials conducted through Construct Innovate with University College Dublin and University of Galway. Revenue is generated through professional services delivered on a quote-based, multi-year contract basis to architects, planners, engineering consultancies, developers, energy operators, and government bodies, supplemented by hardware resale margins from its Sinus Messtechnik distribution arrangement.

Amplitude Acoustics serves clients including ESB, AIB, John Sisk & Son, Marlet Property Group, Dublin Airport, and the EU Liaison Office Dublin, with project credentials spanning LEED Gold-certified office builds, large-scale residential developments, wind farm EIAR chapters, and healthcare facility acoustic design. The firm is founder/management-led under Director Dr Emmet English, with no disclosed external institutional investment, and has expanded organically across three Irish cities while maintaining membership in industry bodies including the British Council for Offices, Construct Innovate, Engineers Ireland, and the Institute of Acoustics.
