Ben Gibbs

With a focus on the noise footprints of future aircraft, Ben has recently completed his BEng in Aerospace Engineering at the University of the West of England. His growing interest in psychoacoustics developed through study and industry placements has led to experience in the early-stage design of low noise rotor blades, and the development of conceptual noise attenuation strategies aimed at reducing psychoacoustic annoyance for future eVTOL urban operational environments. Ben has recently joined Hawkins and works alongside Hawkins Acoustics Director, Ros Lambert-Porter, collaborating with architects, manufacturers, facilities managers, and end-users to deliver services including noise impact assessments, room acoustics assessments, noise at work assessments, design consultations and vibration measurements.

Ros Lambert Porter Presents at the Workplace Event

Effective acoustic design in workplaces is crucial for minimising distractions and enhancing productivity. Ros presented on the importance of acoustic design.

Data Centre Protection From Vibration and Noise Environments

Hawkins acoustics expert Andrew Peplow discusses the impact data centres have on noise and vibrations and how relating issues can be reduced

When Audible Warning Alarms Cause Injury

In this webinar, Hawkins’ Managing Director of Acoustics, Ros Lambert-Porter, will define the characteristics of effective audible alarms and where they might fail, and how these failures can lead to catastrophic outcomes.

Understanding Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS)

In this presentation, Principal Acoustics Consultant Dr Andrew Peplow provides a comprehensive understanding of HAVS, including its causes and symptoms.

Hawkins Personal Injury Webinars

Dr Andrew Peplow Published in the Journal of Sound and Vibration

Traditional methods for creating DAFs involve costly, time-intensive setups in coupled reverberant-anechoic chambers. Dr Andrew Peplow addressed these challenges in his recent paper published in the Journal of Sound and Vibration.

The Risk of Poor Acoustic Design

Rosalind Lambert-Porter, an acoustics engineering consultant at Hawkins discusses the importance of acoustic performance within a building and where responsibility lies for poor acoustic design.
