University of Salford: Acoustic Testing Laboratories

ACOUSTIC TESTING LABORATORIES BUILDING SOUND FUTURES

Salford has been a centre of excellence in acoustics for over 65 years. Our acoustic laboratories are home to a team of highly specialised engineers and technicians who have experience providing a wide range of UKAS accredited acoustic testing, calibration, and research. We are supported by the Acoustics Research Centre, one of the largest established groups of acousticians in the world.

OUR WORK AND EXPERTISE

OUR ACCREDITED SERVICES:

We operate as a commercial test house, proudly delivering accredited standard testing and calibration services and, where needed, specialist bespoke testing in acoustics, audio, human perception, acoustic materials, and vibro-acoustics.

Our expert team work to recognised test standards where possible, but where existing standards are not appropriate or need to be developed, we will design and implement bespoke test methods based on a thorough understanding of the underlying scientific principles. Over the years, we have delivered services for thousands of clients and partners, ranging from global engineering companies and household names to a range of SMEs, industry, government departments and military.

Whatever your industry, at Salford we can make your projects sound better.
