“Uncertainty-noise” Le Mans

Acoustique
&
Techniques n° 40
The acoustical consultant has to face technical as well
as economical and human uncertainties in his daily work
and he has at his disposal specific tools to manage these
parameters.
The heavy tendencies of the acoustical consulting market
are :
- Growing of the demand,
- Internationalization (European Directives, …),
- Diversification of the competences needed,
- Flexibility,
- Availability “7/24” : the client would like you available 7 days a
week and 24 hours a day (internet, mobile telephones, …),
- Urgency : everything must be finished before beginning,
- Development of exigencies regarding the results : more and
more legal actions.
Conclusion
The acoustical consultant has to manage a lot of technical,
human and economical aspects who introduce their own
uncertainties in his work. More and more, the acoustical
consultant is dealing with the contradiction between exigencies
of more and more precision in an always more uncertain
environment.
