Training & Technical support
Empowering Teams
Through Acoustic Knowledge.
Our training programs are designed to help architects, engineers, facility managers, and owners gain the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about noise and vibration in their environments.
What We Offer
We provide both on-site and virtual training sessions, customized to your organization’s needs, covering everything from basic principles to advanced measurement and mitigation techniques.
Topics include:
- Fundamentals of acoustics and sound propagation
- Noise measurement techniques and equipment use
- Understanding decibels (dB), frequency, and octave bands
- Noise exposure and hearing conservation (OSHA/NIOSH)
- Vibration isolation principles and system design
- Environmental noise assessments and regulatory compliance
- Acoustic treatment design (absorption vs. isolation)
- Reading and interpreting acoustic reports and test data
- Noise control for mechanical and industrial systems
Each session includes real-world case studies, interactive demonstrations, and Q&A opportunities with Memtech’s acoustic engineers.
Our Approach & Capabilities
Our programs are led by certified acousticians and field engineers who bring decades of combined experience across industrial, architectural, and environmental noise control. We combine scientific explanation with hands-on application, ensuring participants understand not only what sound does, but why it behaves the way it does and how to manage it effectively.
Our capabilities include:
Instructor-Led Training Programs
Our in-person and virtual sessions are led by practicing acoustical engineers who bring real project experience to the classroom. Each program combines theory with hands-on demonstration, ensuring participants leave with both understanding and confidence.
Customized Corporate & Industry Workshops
From manufacturing plants to design studios, we adapt our training to the realities of your environment. Programs can focus on regulatory compliance, material selection, field measurement, or mitigation strategies relevant to your facility or projects.
Equipment Operation & Calibration Training
We teach proper use of sound level meters, dosimeters, and vibration sensors, including setup, data logging, calibration, and interpretation.
Online Workshops & Virtual Learning
Our live online sessions allow teams anywhere to learn the fundamentals of acoustics, noise measurement, and control strategies. Each session includes Q&A, digital resources, and interactive demonstrations tailored to virtual delivery.
Technical Documentation & Field Procedures
Participants receive practical documentation, including sample field forms, calibration checklists, and data interpretation sheets — the same templates used by our own engineers during professional testing and assessments.
Custom Training for Safety & Maintenance Teams
We help safety managers, maintenance staff, and supervisors recognize high-risk areas, understand exposure limits, and implement basic noise control measures, bridging the gap between policy and practice.
Specialized Topics on Request
Deep dives for teams seeking advanced expertise.
Beyond our standard modules, we offer specialized programs in the following areas:
Architectural acoustic design fundamentals
Environmental noise assessments
Construction noise mitigation
Vibration analysis and isolation design
Key Acoustic Terminology Explained
Understanding a few fundamental terms can make acoustics far less mysterious. We use these concepts to design, test, and teach so you can confidently interpret acoustic data and communicate effectively.
Decibel (dB)
A logarithmic unit used to measure sound intensity. Every 10 dB increase represents roughly a doubling of perceived loudness.
Frequency (Hz)
The pitch of a sound, measured in hertz. Low frequencies (like machinery hums) travel farther and are harder to isolate than high ones.
STC (Sound Transmission Class)
A rating that measures how well a wall or partition blocks airborne sound. Higher numbers mean better isolation.
NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient)
A measure of how much sound a material absorbs inside a room. Higher NRC = less reverberation.
RT60 (Reverberation Time)
The time it takes for sound to decay by 60 decibels. A key metric for clarity in large open spaces.
Vibration Isolation
The process of reducing structure-borne energy transfer from machines or equipment into building structures.
Acoustics, Made Clear.
When people understand acoustics, they make better design, safety, and operational decisions.

The Memtech Difference
At Memtech, acoustics is what we do. Our engineers oversee every stage, ensuring that each project is properly delivered, on-time and within budget. This integrated approach delivers predictable results and protects your investment.
Certified and Licensed Professionals
Testing conducted by engineers and acoustic specialists, not general contractors or “safety consultants.”
National Standards Alignment
We follow OSHA 1910.95, NIOSH criteria, and ANSI S12.19-1996 methods for noise exposure assessment. Measurements are conducted via ISO procedures or per academically accepted methods.
Engineering Expertise
Your results are reviewed by professionals who understand both the physics and the audible consequences of the noise data.
High Responsiveness, Proven Reliability
We are your trusted local partner providing on-demand support and dependable project execution. Michigan-based with regional reach and national* shipping capabilities.
Confidential & Detailed Reporting
We don’t just submit a report. You get full documentation, delivered in easy-to-understand language with visuals and defensible insights you can act on.
*Shipping available across the continental USA; installations are offered in select regions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do we schedule a session?
Simply contact our team through the form or phone number listed on this page. We’ll discuss your goals, preferred format (on-site or virtual), and develop a custom proposal outlining scope, topics, and pricing.
Who are these training sessions for?
Anyone who interacts with sound, such as facility managers, architects, engineers, safety coordinators, and business owners can benefit from understanding acoustics. No prior technical background is required.
How long are the sessions?
Programs range from one-hour virtual seminars to multi-day workshops, depending on your goals and team size. We can also tailor the content to specific project types or industries.
Can you train our team on our site using our equipment?
Absolutely. We frequently conduct on-site training using client-specific instruments, systems, and noise sources for maximum relevance.
How are your training sessions delivered?
We offer multiple formats to fit your needs:
On-site training at your facility for hands-on instruction with your actual equipment.
Virtual sessions for remote teams who prefer live, online learning.
Hybrid formats combining pre-recorded modules and live Q&A with our engineers.

What’s the difference between a general acoustics course and noise control training?
General acoustics training covers the fundamentals (e.g. how sound behaves, how it’s measured, and how it affects people and spaces).
Noise control training dives deeper into the engineering side (e.g. how to design, specify, and implement materials, barriers, and isolators that reduce unwanted noise and vibration).
Noise control training dives deeper into the engineering side (e.g. how to design, specify, and implement materials, barriers, and isolators that reduce unwanted noise and vibration).
Can training help us comply with OSHA or NIOSH requirements?
Yes. Many of our courses address occupational noise exposure limits, dosimetry, and hearing conservation programs. We teach how to measure exposure correctly, interpret results, and document compliance to satisfy regulatory audits.
How large can the training groups be?
For the best learning experience, we typically recommend 5–10 participants per session, though we can accommodate larger groups upon request. Smaller groups allow for direct Q&A and hands-on training.
What topics are most popular for first-time learners?
The most requested beginner topics are:
Understanding decibels and sound measurement
How noise affects human health and concentration
Difference between soundproofing and absorption
Common noise control mistakes in design and construction
