Department Acoustics

Our team brings diverse perspectives to our interdisciplinary collaboration: In building acoustics, we research and assess building components, structures, and entire buildings. Technical sound insulation and vehicle acoustics focus on the development and optimization of technical building equipment, machinery, installations, and the acoustics of transport systems. In urban and architectural acoustics, we design both indoor and outdoor sound environments using AI-supported technologies and simulations, and we develop necessary acoustic measures such as absorbers. Psychoacoustics and cognitive ergonomics focus on how acoustic environmental factors affect humans. Across all research areas, we apply innovative, digital methods with a strong focus on sustainability and human-centered design in acoustic environments.

Our goal is to generate high practical value for industry and society through scientifically sound, application-oriented results. With decades of experience and state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, we offer a wide range of services - from testing and certification in accredited acoustic labs, to R&D of acoustic materials and innovative solutions for components and constructions, to human-centered acoustic analysis and optimization.
