Sonores Acoustics specialises in acoustic engineering and design at the intersection of architecture, audio and arts. As an acoustic engineering practice based in Antwerp, we work across Europe on critical listening environments, music studios, broadcasting and performance spaces, spatial audio and artistic installations, as well as public and residential buildings — including museums, restaurants and listening bars — where acoustics are an essential part of the experience. Across every project, whether audio, sound system design or architectural acoustics, we bring an in-depth, analytical approach grounded in advanced computational methods.
Our services include:
Room acoustics – Room analysis and tailored designs for optimisation of sonic environments, based on relevant standards. Acoustic design integrated into music studios, event spaces, public and residential buildings, including museums, restaurants, hospitality and listening bars, where sound shapes the overall experience.
Noise and vibration control – Consulting services to minimise sound transmission and vibration interference between spaces, including sound transmission predictions using ISO 12354-based modelling and assessment according to national standards such as NBN S01-400-1, NBN S01-400-2, and DIN 4109. We also advise on noise and vibration requirements linked to building permits and environmental regulations.
Acoustic modeling, simulations, and auralisation – Advanced software modeling for accurate sound behavior prediction and immersive auralisation. Finite Element (FEM) and Boundary Element (BEM) methods, amongst other wave-based computational techniques for precise acoustics and vibration assessment. Enhancement of sound fields by geometrical optimisation of room layouts.
Acoustic measurements – In-situ measurement of acoustic parameters, including reverberation time, sound insulation, noise levels, and sound system performance, to evaluate and optimise acoustic conditions.
Sound system design and Electro-acoustics – Design and optimisation of classic, custom, or immersive sound systems for studios, performance spaces, and dedicated listening rooms. Acoustic and spatial audio design for artistic and interactive installations, exhibitions, and sound art.
Development of analysis and design tools – Custom tools developed to solve practical challenges and speed up our design workflow. Mainly rooted in parametric and algorithmic design and optimisation, for innovative acoustic solutions.
Research – Exploration of new techniques and technologies in the field of acoustics.
Workshops and guest lectures – Educational opportunities for professionals and students to deepen their understanding of acoustics.
