Controlling noise pollution to ensure site performance and compliance.
In industry, noise affects working conditions, regulatory compliance and the durability of installations.
SIM Engineering supports manufacturers and operators through operational acoustic studies, combining measurements, modelling and technical solutions to reduce nuisance, secure projects and optimize the acoustic performance of industrial sites.
Acoustics design office for industry
In industrial environments, noise is a technical factor in its own right. It influences operator safety, equipment reliability, regulatory compliance and, more broadly, the overall performance of production sites. SIM Engineering supports manufacturers in controlling noise through rigorous acoustic studies, integrated with operating constraints and geared towards sustainable improvements in working conditions and productivity.
Industrial noise, a direct challenge to operational performance
Industrial facilities are home to many sources of noise: rotating machinery, production lines, ventilation systems, compressors, piping networks and auxiliary equipment. On many sites, noise levels regularly exceed 80 to 85 dB(A) in certain work areas, generating fatigue, loss of concentration and organizational constraints.
Several studies show that a noisy working environment can lead to a drop in productivity of the order of 5 to 15%, particularly on tasks requiring attention, coordination or precision. These losses are reflected in an increase in errors, slower execution of operations and reduced cognitive availability of teams.
Conversely, proper acoustic control helps to stabilize operating conditions, reduce unplanned interruptions and create an environment more conducive to employee efficiency.
Industrial acoustics expertise tailored to real-life situations
SIM Engineering operates as an acoustic design office specialized in industrial environments, with an approach based on a detailed understanding of the processes, operating cycles and constraints specific to each site. Our interventions are designed to fit in with existing activities, without disrupting production.
Our areas of expertise include :
Regulatory measures
Our customers have several obligations in terms of acoustics: we intervene to qualify their impact at property limits and in the vicinity of their site, as well as to measure the noise or vibration exposure of their personnel.
Acoustic engineering
Our acousticians carry out impact studies and acoustic assessments to evaluate noise emissions and design solutions to ensure compliance with acoustic standards, improve sound quality or reduce noise.

Industrial acoustic studies for efficiency and reliability
SIM Engineering’s acoustic studies are part of a decision-making process. Noise measurements and acoustic simulations enable us to objectively quantify noise levels, anticipate their propagation and evaluate different optimization scenarios.
In industrial environments, noise reduction contributes directly to :
- improve operator concentration,
- limit cognitive fatigue on exposed workstations,
- reduce human error,
- smooth communication between teams.
Acoustically optimized environments can generate productivity gains of between 5 and 15%.particularly in the case of mentally demanding workstations or those requiring frequent exchanges between operators.
Controlling the regulatory framework without curbing industrial activity
Regulatory requirements in terms of noise, whether they come under the Labor Code, the ICPE framework, or simply neighbourhood annoyance, call for rigorous anticipation. Failure to take acoustic risk into account can slow down industrial projects, generate non-compliance or impose costly corrective measures during the operating phase.
SIM Engineering carries out regulatory acoustic studies to secure projects while maintaining production targets. Controlled acoustic compliance helps to reduce forced shutdowns, limit corrective exchanges with the authorities and preserve operational continuity.
