Play Team : Involve the client to whatever extent possible or appropriate.  Teach as you go.  Integrate consultant efforts with the client's engineering and/or production teams to provide truly workable solutions.

Push the Envelope: Use engineering principles and experience to operate with confidence up to and beyond the limits of "conventional" noise control consulting.

Speak the Language: Communicate results and recommendations in plain terms that the client can understand, using the client's preferred format.

Treat the Problem (not the Symptoms): Promote "Quiet by Design" principles that incorporate noise control into the design of the product, building or plant.
