Acoustical engineers and consultants at Atlanta are professionals who work to control noise and conversely, achieve best acoustic performance, depending on the setting. Functions performed by them include acoustics, environmental noise assessment, noise control in the work place, performing arts facilities, sound system design, multi-media presentation system design, theatre consulting, acoustical engineering, and in IT and Telecommunications systems design. Thus, if noise control is the aim, these consultants work by measurement, analysis, prediction and engineering of room acoustics including reverberation, diffusion, noise control and sound isolation. If enhancing sound quality and reach is the aim, they offer inputs on planning, performance lighting and control systems, stage rigging systems, stage drapery designs, orchestra pit lift or pit cover designs, seating layouts, audience sightline analysis and general theater consultation. Such consultancies also work for environmental acoustics, which works on assessment of environmental noise impacts from a variety of transportation and non-transportation sources.
