With SoundComply Get Immediate Insight Into Facility Noise Related Risks.

Completion of a Noise Impact Assessment (NIA) in early development stages supports better equipment procurement decisions, provides direction on facility location, and typically results in less regulatory and financial risk once a project is operational.

Get Started

Determine higher risk projects earlier on without incurring costs for a full NIA

SoundComply is a 3-stage process that starts with an overall risk assessment based on a few key pieces of information about your subject facility.

Assess your risk

Starting by collecting some details, SoundComply confirms the study area by assessing adjacent facilities and nearby residences.

Detail Your Equipment

Gathers detailed equipment specifications and expands upon the information previously entered in Stage 1 to determine eligibility for a Screening NIA for AER Directive 038.

Apply for Screening NIA

Once you’ve entered your equipment, you can proceed through the entire Screening NIA process free of charge.
1

Assess your risk

Producers are switching to upgrading natural gas to mine cryptocurrency.

Understanding and managing noise to meet location-specific noise regulations as well as to engineer mitigation strategies becomes more and more valuable.

2

Detail Your Equipment

Much of the noise associated with crypto mining comes from container ventilation fans.

These fans are often sized for high-velocity applications, causing higher than expected sound emission levels. In addition, crypto mine generator sets, or gensets, exhibit all the noise sources that are typically associated with more common energy industry applications.
As producers are switching to upgrading natural gas to mine cryptocurrency, understanding and managing noise to meet location-specific noise regulations as well as to engineer mitigation strategies becomes more and more valuable.

Apply for Screening NIA

How can your facility get ahead of noise-related risk?

SoundComply determines whether a facility falls within the recommended Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) Directive 038 Permissible Sound Levels (PSL) and whether a Screening NIA, or more detailed NIA is appropriate for a particular facility based on its location, type of equipment and proximity of neighbouring facilities and residences.
