Engineering services for noise and vibration technology

KÖTTER Consulting Engineers is an independent engineering consultancy specializing in noise and vibration control, technical acoustics, and the evaluation of complex industrial facilities. Since 1978, we have been supporting plant operators, design engineers, and manufacturers with tailored solutions based on rigorous engineering analysis.

Our core services include measurement, engineering design, calculation, and technical consulting. Together, they form the basis for customized solutions across a wide range of applications. From plant design and commissioning through optimization, our engineering teams support projects worldwide. With offices in Rheine and Berlin, we provide flexible, responsive, and reliable project support.

Our departments

Machines & Systems

Building physics & immission control

Wind energy, noise & shadow

Our services are organized into specialized departments that complement one another and together form a fully integrated portfolio.

Machinery & industrial systems

Analysis and evaluation of vibration, pulsation, and acoustic impacts on machinery and complex industrial systems, ranging from root cause analysis to in-operation optimization.

Building physics & immission control

Assessment of sound and vibration impacts on buildings, as well as technical consulting and support for emissions compliance and permitting processes.

Wind energy – sound & shadow

Noise and shadow flicker studies for wind turbines in the context of project planning, evaluation, and permitting, in accordance with regulatory requirements and site-specific conditions.

Applied noise and vibration engineering

Whether for machinery, industrial facilities, vehicles, buildings, wind turbines, or battery energy storage systems, we systematically identify the root causes of excessive noise and vibration. Our approach is built on decades of project experience, high-precision measurement technology, and advanced simulation tools that enable reliable, technically sound evaluations of complex dynamic interactions.

KÖTTER solutions

Practical engineering solutions

In addition to our engineering analyses, we develop proven, field-tested technical solutions for precise measurement, vibration and pulsation reduction, and the reliable monitoring of industrial facilities. Each solution is individually configurable and designed to ensure safe, stable, and uninterrupted plant operation.

KCE Academy

Academy and further education

Through our Academy, we provide hands-on expertise in vibration engineering and technical acoustics. In addition to our own seminars and workshops, our facilities are available for external training programs and professional events.
