Acoustic Consultants in Dubai

Have a project in Dubai or the wider UAE? Tell us about it.
DUBAI CONTEXT

Dubai’s construction market brings together mixed-use developments, data centers, hospitality, industrial facilities and large-scale infrastructure, often with demanding performance, sustainability and wellbeing objectives. Acoustic requirements increasingly form part of these considerations, alongside frameworks such as LEED, WELL and other regional green-building standards, including Estidama for projects extending in Abu Dhabi.

OUR EXPERTISE

Founded in Toulouse in 1995, Delhom Acoustics brings more than 30 years of acoustic consultancy experience to projects in the UAE and across the Gulf. Our understanding of the regional market, combined with experience across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, allows us to support clients across different project types and technical contexts.

OUR REACH

With a presence in Dubai and experience across the UAE and wider Gulf, our team combines international acoustic expertise with a strong understanding of the regional market, project environment and client expectations.

DUBAI CONTEXT

Dubai and sound: fast growth, high performance standards

Dubai’s continued development brings a particular combination of acoustic challenges: dense urban environments, major infrastructure, high-performance buildings, technical facilities and ambitious sustainability and wellbeing objectives. Each requires an acoustic approach adapted to its use, location and regulatory context.

Green building certification and noise regulations

Dubai’s Projects across the UAE may target frameworks such as Estidama, LEED, WELL and other environmental or wellbeing certifications that include acoustic performance criteria. Our role is to help project teams understand and address the relevant acoustic requirements alongside applicable local regulations.

Data center noise growth

The UAE’s push to become a regional cloud and AI hub has made data center noise control one of the fastest-growing acoustic engineering needs across Dubai and the UAE, covering challenges related to technical equipment, environmental noise and the impact on surrounding sites.

Hotel, hospitality and office acoustics

Room-to-room isolation in hotels, façade performance against traffic noise on major corridors (Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road), and open-plan office acoustics are recurring briefs across Dubai’s mixed-use developments. We help project teams define solutions according to how each space will actually be used.

Airports and aviation noise

We support new airport projects in addressing both environmental noise and acoustic conditions within airport buildings. Developments near Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) flight paths may also require specific consideration of aircraft noise. Our engineers assess these constraints project by project, including façade and environmental acoustic performance, according to the development’s location, use and applicable requirements.

Definition

What is an acoustic study ?

An acoustic study is how a specialized engineer evaluates, models and controls sound and vibration in a building or on a site, whether at design stage or as a diagnostic on an existing structure. It translates technical findings into concrete decisions: construction choices, sized solutions, and a clear path to regulatory compliance. Addressing acoustics early avoids costly rework later, from reworked partitions to delayed sign-offs.

01 — Compliance

What is an acoustic study ?

An acoustic study verifies that a project meets the objectives set by applicable regulations (housing, hotels, educational or healthcare facilities) as well as the certifications being targeted, particularly for commercial buildings (LEED, WELL and locally applicable green-building standards). We produce  the supporting documentation required for building permit applications or project handover.

02 — Confort

Provide occupants with optimal acoustic comfort

Good acoustics is felt rather than noticed. You only notice it once it’s missing. A meeting room where you don’t have to repeat yourself. An apartment where you don’t hear your neighbour’s TV. An open-plan office that doesn’t feel like an echo chamber. An auditorium where the back row hears as clearly as the front. These comfort criteria are increasingly built into the specifications of demanding clients.

03 — Performance

Optimize building performance

Building acoustics is one part of a project’s overall performance, alongside thermal comfort and air quality, not separate from them. Addressed early, acoustic solutions get built into the design from the start, shaping material choices and technical specifications from day one rather than correcting them afterward.

Scope of Services

When should you call in an acoustic consultant in Dubai?

Acoustic requirements vary depending on the nature of the project, its use and its location. Here are the most common situations in which Dubai-based architects, developers and clients turn to an acoustic consultant.

New construction & mixed-use towers

Most new developments in Dubai are designed under  green-building or wellness certification targets (Estidama, LEED, WELL and other relevant certification frameworks) that include acoustic comfort criteria.

Data centers

As digital infrastructure expands across the UAE, data center projects require careful management of equipment noise, environmental impact and acoustic performance. Our acoustic consultants support both new developments and existing facilities.

Hospitality & hotels

Room-to-room isolation, façade performance against road and environmental noise, and back-of-house plant noise are recurring challenges for hotels and serviced residences.

Corporate offices & fit-out

Open-plan offices, meeting rooms and coworking spaces need acoustic treatment sized to real usage.

Industrial sites

Factories and industrial sites can involve complex noise and vibration challenges, from production equipment and technical installations to the potential impact of operations on surrounding environments. We support project teams with noise and vibration studies, acoustic modelling, measurements and mitigation strategies, developing solutions adapted to the operational requirements and constraints of each site.

AV Consulting

By bringing acoustics and AV together, our Dubai Team helps project teams coordinate both disciplines through one partner and one understanding of the project. Our recommendations are shaped around what each project actually needs, considering acoustic performance, audiovisual systems and the overall experience of the people using the space.

Our Method

Our acoustic engineering approach

Every mission follows a structured process, from initial scoping through to construction follow-up, adapted to the nature and stage of the project.

01

Needs analysis

Before any measurement is taken, we scope the project: regulatory and certification requirements, project timeline, and the existing sound environment. This step keeps the rest of the mission focused on what the project actually needs.

02

On-site acoustic measurements

Ambient noise levels, sound insulation between rooms, reverberation time, vibration: our campaigns run on Class 1 instrumentation, to current standards.

03

Modeling and simulation

The data we collect feeds acoustic models, so proposed solutions get tested on paper before anyone touches a wall, and so the technical choices can be justified to the rest of the project team.

04

Technical recommendations

Precise, sized recommendations follow: wall and partition build-ups, required sound reduction indices. tailored to the specific performance targets of each space.

05

Deliverables

A study report, technical notes, noise mapping, tender documentation, and compliance certification : documents ready to hand directly to a permit office or a client.

06

Construction follow-up & assistance

We stay through the construction phase and run the final acoustic checks, so what gets built matches what got designed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Acoustics in Dubai

At what stage of a project should I involve an acoustic consultant in Dubai?

As early as possible, ideally at concept or schematic design stage.

What is the difference between an acoustic study and an acoustic diagnostic?

An acoustic study generally supports the design or development of a project by defining acoustic objectives and informing technical decisions. An acoustic diagnostic assesses an existing building, space or site to identify acoustic issues and recommend appropriate improvements.

Do you support data center projects in the UAE?

Yes. We support data center projects in the UAE with acoustic studies addressing technical equipment noise, environmental impact, modelling and applicable acoustic requirements for both new and existing facilities.

Do you work only on new construction, or on existing buildings too?

Both. We support new-build projects from concept through construction, and we also carry out acoustic diagnostics and retrofit recommendations for existing buildings, renovation, fit-out and compliance upgrade projects included.

How does an initial consultation work?

A first conversation, by phone or video call, lets us understand your project, its regulatory constraints and your objectives, before proposing a tailored scope of work.

Do you offer AV Consulting in Dubai?

Yes, we offer AV Consulting: audiovisual systems design as a discipline complementary to acoustics, covering offices, hospitality, cultural venues, stadiums and airports. It also helps clarify a common point of confusion for clients: acoustics and AV are related but distinct disciplines.
