If anyone could understand the sound of one hand clapping, it would be Aercoustics President and Principal, Vince Gambino, P.Eng. Calm and thoughtful, Vince got his start solving noise and vibration issues with aircraft engine manufacturer, Pratt and Whitney. In 1992, he teamed up with the “sound” thinkers and founding partners at Aercoustics. With more than 25 years of problem solving experience, Vince’s notable projects have included: one of the world’s first outdoor active noise cancellation installations, a series of noise control projects for turbine generators, and a wind farm noise study. The former won the 1995 Award of Excellence from the Association of Canadian Consulting Engineers of Canada. (A round of mono-plause, please.)

Highly regarded among his peers, he is regularly called upon to provide expert witness for the Ontario Energy Board, Ontario Municipal Board and courts of law. And while his hobbies have also included spending time at the National Research Council of Canada to design and manufacture his own line of loudspeakers, these days his off-peak hours are spent navigating baby heads on his mountain bike.
