NOISE CONSULTANTS LIMITED

What NOISE CONSULTANTS LIMITED does

Noise Consultants Limited is a UK-based environmental consultancy specialising in noise and vibration assessment, modelling, mapping, measurement, and monitoring for infrastructure, planning, aviation, industrial, wind/renewables, and public sector clients. The firm operates as one of three trading brands within the Logika Group (alongside Air Quality Consultants and Logika Consultants) under a shared leadership team of over 100 environmental experts, with registered offices in Bristol and additional locations in London, Warrington, Brighton, Leeds, and Brussels. Its proprietary technology stack includes the cloud-hosted National Noise Modelling System (NMS) developed for Defra to generate statutory noise maps for England and Wales, the publicly available Site Suitability Indicator (SSI) for residential development screening, the Track Analysis & Compilation Tool (TACT) for airspace change programmes, a web-enabled GIS platform, and an AI-aided computer vision traffic counting pipeline.

The business model is professional services delivery through direct sales to enterprise and government clients, with no publicly disclosed pricing; revenue is generated across project lifecycles via consultancy engagements, framework appointments, expert witness representation, and bespoke research and innovation work. Customer segments span aviation operators (Heathrow, NATS, London Luton, Dublin Airport), major infrastructure programmes (HS2 supply chain via MDJV and EKFB), local and national government (Defra, Welsh Government, DAERA, Fingal/Dublin City Council), planning consultancies and developers (DPP, Technia, Reuben & Morgan), and entertainment operators (AEG). The go-to-market relies on direct client engagement, published case studies, conference presence, and academic partnerships with the University of Salford, supported by ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and recognition as a Top 25 UK environmental and sustainability consulting firm.
