Independent Acoustics Consultancy · Saudi Arabia

We Create Sound Environments

That Perform

Expert acoustic consultancy for architects, developers and engineers across KSA — precise, independent, and aligned with Vision 2035 from concept through to completion.

Saudi Building Code Vision 2035 Fully Independent KSA-Wide Coverage
Who We Are

Saudi Arabia's Built Environment Demands the Right Acoustics

Sound is invisible, yet it shapes every human experience inside a building. It determines whether a hotel guest sleeps peacefully, whether a student can follow a lesson, whether a business meeting can be held in confidence, or whether a mosque inspires calm and focus.

At SautieAcoustics, we are independent acoustics consultants embedded in the Saudi market — advising architects, developers and project managers on how to achieve the right acoustic performance, reliably and to the required standard, across every building type in the Kingdom.

Our independence is our strength. With no ties to contractors or material suppliers, our advice is guided entirely by evidence and by what is best for your project.

Our Consultancy Disciplines

Integrated acoustic expertise across the full lifecycle of your project — from early design advice through to occupation and beyond.

Architectural Acoustics

We advise at the design stage — shaping room geometry, specifying partition assemblies, guiding ceiling and floor system selection, and designing for speech intelligibility and noise control from the very start — before acoustic problems become expensive ones to resolve.

Environmental Noise Assessment

We assess and mitigate the impact of environmental noise — from traffic, rail, aviation, and industrial sources — using site measurement and predictive modelling. We prepare the acoustic input for EIAs, planning submissions, and noise management plans across KSA.

Acoustic Investigations

When something isn't right — in an occupied building, a completed development, or a space under due diligence — we find out why. We diagnose defects, identify sources of complaint, prepare expert reports, and recommend remediation strategies that are proportionate and cost-effective.

Construction Stage Advisory

Acoustic performance is made or lost on site. We carry out specification compliance reviews, attend critical build stages, and identify construction defects before they become expensive liabilities. Early involvement protects both programme and budget.

Planning & Regulatory Support

We prepare acoustic reports for Saudi Building Code compliance, local authority submissions, and specialist regulatory approvals — translating complex acoustic data into clear evidence that planners and decision-makers can act on with confidence.

Noise Control & Remediation

When performance falls short of design intent, we deliver targeted, evidence-based remediation — from additional partition layers and acoustic seals to specialist floating floors and vibration isolation mounts. The right solution, not the most convenient one.

How We Work

A clear, structured approach that integrates acoustic performance into your project without adding complexity to design or programme.

1

Listen & Understand

We start by understanding your project goals, constraints, occupant needs, and acoustic requirements — before offering any advice.

2

Assess & Analyse

Site measurement, design review, and predictive modelling to establish a clear acoustic baseline and identify risks early.

3

Advise & Specify

Practical, buildable recommendations — not just data. Specifications your design team can implement with confidence.

4

Verify & Report

On-site presence at key stages and at completion, with formal written reports that provide clear, documented assurance of the outcome.

Sectors We Serve

From NEOM to Riyadh's commercial core — our consultancy spans every building type and project scale across Saudi Arabia.

Why Independent Expertise Changes Everything

No Conflicts of Interest

We have no financial ties to contractors, material manufacturers, or product suppliers. Every recommendation is founded on evidence alone and on what is genuinely best for your project.

Certified Competence

Our consultants operate to international acoustic standards with expertise in ISO, ASTM and Saudi Building Code requirements — so our advice withstands regulatory scrutiny.

KSA-Wide Presence

From Riyadh and Jeddah to NEOM, the Red Sea coastline and AlUla — we are on the ground wherever your project is, providing consistent, reliable expertise nationwide.

Early Involvement Saves Money

An acoustic issue identified at design stage is a fraction of the cost of one remediated after construction. We engage early and stay engaged — protecting your programme and investment.

Clarity Above Complexity

We translate acoustic science into clear, actionable guidance — so project teams can make confident, well-informed decisions at every stage.

Sound is the invisible architecture of a space. It determines how a building feels long after the eye has taken in how it looks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about acoustic consultancy and testing across Saudi Arabia and the GCC.

Who is the best acoustic consultant in Saudi Arabia?
SautieAcoustics is an independent acoustic consultancy operating throughout Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC. All advice is based entirely on evidence and your project's best interests — with no ties to contractors or suppliers.
Do you provide acoustic services in UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman?
Yes. SautieAcoustics provides acoustic consultancy and certified field testing across all six GCC countries. We serve projects in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait City, Doha, Manama and Muscat.
What acoustic testing standards apply in Saudi Arabia?
ISO 16283 (sound insulation), ISO 717 (rating), ISO 3382 (reverberation) and ISO 1996 (environmental noise). The Saudi Building Code also sets specific performance requirements for all building types.
What is the difference between acoustic consultancy and acoustic testing?
Acoustic consultancy is design-stage advice — reviewing drawings, specifying partitions, preparing noise assessments. Acoustic testing is post-construction — measuring actual performance and issuing formal pass/fail reports. SautieAcoustics provides both.
How much does acoustic testing cost in Saudi Arabia?
Cost depends on the number of test positions, building type, location and reporting requirements. Contact us for a clear scope and cost estimate — no charge for an initial discussion.
Can you help with NEOM and Vision 2035 acoustic compliance?
Yes. SautieAcoustics works on giga-projects and Vision 2035-aligned developments across Saudi Arabia, from early concept through to post-construction verification and compliance reporting.
