Summary
Tyler Rynberg joined VACC in 2009, bringing significant background in architectural acoustics in residential / commercial and healthcare settings. Tyler has extensive experience managing projects in room acoustics, sound and impact isolation, mechanical noise control, vibration isolation, environmental noise, and acoustic modeling of spaces (EASE). He has worked on a broad range of facility types, including recording and television studios, performance theatres, medical centers, multi-family residential housing, mixed-use, office spaces, movie theaters, and industrial / manufacturing facilities. In addition to his design work, Tyler also has conducted measurements of sound and impact noise transfer, vibration, environmental / transportation noise, noise exposure / dosimetry (OSHA workplace noise), and room acoustics.

He has recently grown VACC's business in construction noise and vibration monitoring as well as noise and vibration design in consumer products.
