What We Mean by Environmental Noise
Environmental noise is unwanted or excessive sound generated by human activity, whether from construction equipment, industrial operations, oil and gas drilling, or infrastructure projects, that affects nearby communities, wildlife, or protected areas. Left unmanaged, it can lead to noise complaints, permit delays, regulatory fines, and strained relationships with neighbors and local agencies.
Environmental Noise Control exists to manage that impact before it becomes a problem. We measure existing conditions with ambient surveys, model how a project’s noise will travel and affect the surrounding area, and engineer and install the right combination of noise control products to keep projects on schedule and in compliance.

What Does Environmental Noise Control Do?
Environmental Noise Control (ENC) is a full-service acoustical engineering firm.

Is Environmental Noise Control the Same Company as Behrens & Associates?

Both. ENC identifies the noise problem, engineers the solution, manufactures proprietary noise control materials, and installs them, so you’re working with one partner from the initial consultation through final installation instead of coordinating separate vendors.

ENC is headquartered in El Segundo, California, with additional offices across the United States and Canada.
