The TSI Methodology

01 — Client outcome

We define acoustic and vibration requirements from the earliest stages of the yacht project, identifying potential risks and establishing the appropriate technical solutions.

02 — Predictive Assessment

Advanced predictive models allow us to anticipate noise and vibration levels before construction, helping optimise the design and minimise costly modifications at later stages.

03 — Onboard measurement results

Our specialists perform comprehensive measurements and testing on board to assess noise and vibration performance under real operating conditions.

04 — Compliance report

We verify the yacht’s acoustic performance against project requirements and applicable standards, providing objective results and expert technical assessment.

PRACTICAL GUIDE OF YACHTS & SUPERYACHTS

The 8 Most Common Noise and Vibration Issues in Yachts, Superyachts and Megayachts

Discover where they originate, how they affect onboard comfort, and what solutions can prevent them. Take a look!

Even the most carefully designed vessel can experience noise and vibration issues in guest suites and living areas, compromising onboard comfort.

As superyacht noise and vibration experts, with extensive experience working on large yachts, we have identified the 8 most common sources of noise and vibration in a practical guide. Discover how to detect them, understand their causes, and implement effective noise and vibration control measures before they develop into serious and costly problems.

Independent and impartial technical assessment.

FAQ Silent Yachting — TSI

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about noise and vibration issues, and how we work with shipyards, owners and captains.

The most frequent are structural vibration transmitted through engines and shafts, propeller cavitation, HVAC system noise, vibration from at-anchor generators, and insufficient acoustic isolation between cabins. TSI diagnoses each case through on-site measurements before proposing a solution.
We are a 100% independent partner: we do not sell equipment. We carry out onboard measurements, impartially analyze the root cause, and recommend the exact technical solution, with no conflict of interest with manufacturers or shipyards.
We have a global emergency response protocol in place. Our technical team can travel to any port in the world, typically within 24 to 48 hours depending on location and availability.
Both. We provide support from conceptual design through sea trials on new-build projects, and we also carry out diagnostics, troubleshooting and predictive maintenance (CBM) on yachts already in service or undergoing refit.
It is the noise transmitted from the hull into the water, with a direct impact on sensitive marine wildlife in protected areas of the Mediterranean. TSI carries out URN prediction and certification in accordance with classification society notations.
