North Orbit Acoustic Laboratories is an A2LA-accredited testing lab specializing in sound transmission loss, sound absorption, and sound power measurements. We help manufacturers, designers, and engineers validate acoustic performance for a wide range of systems and materials.
From wall assemblies and glazing systems to acoustic panels, HVAC units, enclosures, and consumer products — we deliver clear, standards-based data using methods such as ASTM E90, ASTM C423, ISO 3744, and others. Whether you’re developing a new product, preparing for certification, or responding to project specifications, our team provides the insight and reliability you need to move forward with confidence.
We're happy to answer questions, quote a test, or help you interpret a spec.
We’ve tested a wide variety of products and assemblies — from layered drywall assemblies and panelized wall systems for STC ratings, to consumer product and components for sound power output. Many of the materials we test for absorption are for used in offices, lobbies, and classrooms. Whether it’s verifying acoustic claims, supporting product development, or helping meet project specs, we provide the data teams need to move forward with confidence.
North Orbit Acoustic Laboratories performs ISO IEC 17025 accredited acoustic laboratory & field testing, acoustic consultation, design, and research. We are entirely independent and owner-operated. We serve industries such as consumer electronics, medical, construction, building material manufacturing, military and governmental entities. We test the acoustic properties of products that make or control sound.
Our results are reliable, and as part of every project, we assist in interpreting the data we uncover. In our laboratory and in the field, we can evaluate sound transmission loss, sound absorption, sound power, sound pressure, speech intelligibility, speech privacy, and many other acoustic properties.
Take advantage of the in-depth consultation and testing only our
owner-operated acoustic lab can offer. Not just numbers, but comprehensive interpretation of complex data from our seasoned experts.
