SOTA creates acoustical designs that have reliable sound quality and sound isolation. These plans are compatible with an array of different building types; auditoria, boardrooms, courtrooms, and other listening spaces. SOTA solves excessive noise problems for public and private spaces by reducing the sound transmission from one space to another. The investigation for each project is built around scientific testing methods which provide and promote accurate solutions. 

SOTA specialises in mechanical noise and vibration control for all building types, new, aging, big, small, simple or complex. The required tests for HVAC units allow for the evaluation of present noise conditions, then predict the noise level of planned installations through duct path modelling. SOTA also consults on industrial applications for noise and vibration reduction. 

SOTA is adept at controlling environmental noise inside and out. The noise on the interior of a building consists mostly of speech or mechanical units, both of which can be regulated through testing and evaluation with sound masking and specific acoustic products. The exterior noise is regulated by the municipal and provincial laws, which SOTA can follow by testing, analysing, recommending designs and providing thorough reports for regulatory agencies. 

The interior of any building can improve or take away from the acoustic performance. SOTA has decades of experience in different acoustic spaces and can choose materials, geometries and tools to exactly match the needs of the project. This can be implemented at any point of the design process and can be considered before the project has been built or even years after its completed.

SOTA is well equipped to conduct a myriad of different test types according to any and all relevant standards. Some of the possible tests include: STC, NC, SPC, IIC, STI, reverberation, and environmental background noise test. These official standardized tests are not the only measurements we can take, SOTA can also perform investigatory measurements. This involves measuring sound levels to understand and improve your sound situation. 

SOTA is well versed in every aspect of Audio-Visual systems, from product selection, documentation, and budgeting to bid review, designing and commissioning. The product selection process is based solely on the performance of the system, to ensure the design meets all requirement.
