About Event Acoustics

What Makes Us Special

The passion of the people at Event Acoustics is music and creating the best experience of it with as little disruption as possible. Ultimately, the artist determines everything, but we aim to create the best possible acoustic conditions.

For a good experience of music, the volume and quality of playback are important. We stand for integrated solutions where sound insulation, acoustics, and sound systems can be designed by us. If there is no standard solution, we invent or develop one. We love a party but believe it should take place with as little disruption as possible.

We believe that measurements should be objective without subjective assessment by humans. For this reason, we have developed our unique proprietary MeTrao measurement system, the only noise measurement system that measures simultaneously at the source and receiver, providing truly reliable objective measurements. This way, we prevent and remedy noise pollution and sound problems at festivals, municipalities, companies, and private residences, among others.

Our Rich History

2003

How it began

Event Acoustics traces its roots back to 2003. That’s when we started consulting theaters and concert halls on sound, lighting, and acoustics. What made us special then was our ability to offer an integrated solution. Not only do we understand acoustics and sound insulation of buildings, but also sound systems. This allowed us to advise companies on how to create a better sound experience. Many years later, we are still doing this, but now with even more knowledge and better measuring equipment.

2006

North Sea Jazz

In 2006, we were approached for the North Sea Jazz festival to ensure perfect sound quality by advising on sound insulation between the stages, acoustics and the sound system for each venue. During the event, there were complaints of noise pollution but it was difficult to pinpoint exactly where it was coming from. Event Acoustics used its expertise to develop a measurement system that made it easier to identify which stage was causing a nuisance. In this way, the noise could be better regulated and complaints were resolved. Finally, with this measuring equipment, it became possible to detect the problem within half an hour. We used the same techniques at Lowlands, among other festivals, and still use them regularly at many others in the Netherlands and abroad.

2010

Nesselande, Rotterdam

In 2010, we were asked to carry out noise measurements in the Rotterdam neighbourhood of Nesselande. Residents complained about a hum that no one could identify the source of. When we took our measurements, the results were very confusing. However, that didn’t stop us from taking a different approach. By measuring both at the possible source and the receiver of the noise, we discovered that the noise was coming from trucks on the highway. A few years later, a RIVM report also confirmed these findings.

Recent

On Television

In recent years, we have appeared on television several times in programmes such as De Rijdende Rechter and De Monitor. In these programmes, we share our knowledge and expertise to solve and explain problems. In this way, we also aim to create more awareness of the problems of noise pollution. We are very proud of this milestone!

For Individuals

events, businesses, and municipalities that face these issues, but individuals as well. Therefore, we are working to make our services affordable for everyone. We aim to help people solve noise issues, such as managing the noise of a private event. Once again, we ensure that sound is a pleasant experience for everyone. Recently, we have developed new affordable measurement equipment, making our revolutionary detection method of simultaneous measurement at sources (transmitters) and receivers accessible to individuals.
