As industry leaders in managing the issues around wind farm acoustics, our acoustic consultants will help secure your projects and funding, whether for greenfield developments, repowering projects, or extending existing wind farms.

Ensuring Production Capacity

As a wind farm developer or operator, having access to accurate and reliable noise studies is an essential part of building trust-based relationships with local authorities and residents, optimizing wind farm operations, and reassuring investors.

Our wind farm acoustics consultants provide help and support at every stage of your projects. Sixense’s acousticians address the features specific to each project and advise you on the best way to optimize it.

Our clients receive the benefits of all our expertise at every key design stage.

High-reliability measurement campaigns

We have a broad range of equipment, including more than 60 systems that are 100% connected and entirely dedicated to your projects.

This means Sixense can offer: 

  • Responsiveness and flexibility to align with your scheduling constraints
  • Real-time viewing of measured data and active monitoring of the campaign progress: we limit the number of measurements to those that are strictly necessary and minimize generating losses where regulatory controls apply.
  • Risk-free measurement campaigns: we are alerted immediately of any issues, and all the data we generate is stored in real-time on dedicated secure servers as the measurement campaign progresses

Continuously evolving methodologies for wind farm acoustics

  • Our experts have studied more than 500 wind farm projects, and have unrivalled expertise in this market. But because every project is unique, we are constantly challenging our methodologies and adapting our practices to align with your realities; a process that results in solutions like our patented Eolesense system.
  • We work closely with operators and developers on inventing the methods of tomorrow. We are pioneers in conducting repowering project acoustic impact studies and ensuring their acceptance.
  • Our experts are members of the AFNOR S30J working group and proactive contributors to influencing the forward development of our profession through scientific publications and the presentations they make at international conferences, such as Wind Turbine Noise, the FEE Symposium, and ICSV.
