      Had an Interview here and the old wrinkly man who interviewed me was extremely rude and passive aggressive. The best time that came out of the interview was that I did not get this job, if I had I would have 10000% quit because of the hostile and aggressive environment. do not use this company unless you enjoy talking to rude old people.

      We hired A Wing Visuals and were excited to work with them because of their unique style and the prior work we had seen and they exceeded our expectations. The onboarding process was smooth and easy, and communication was excellent from start to finish. We have nothing but rave reviews about working with Ronnie and the two expert videographers, DJ and Adam. The filming days were well-organized and stress-free. I especially appreciated how Ronnie handled my small stressors, her calm, reassuring personality made a huge difference.Our videos turned out AMAZING, and they truly capture who we are as a growing business. We’re so excited to share them and absolutely hope to work with A Wing Visuals again on future projects. Highly recommend!

      I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sam across a number of projects over the years, and more recently through noisy&Co in the exhibition space.Sam has always been reliable, straightforward, and easy to work with. There’s a level of honesty and professionalism that makes a real difference, particularly when things get busy or complex.What really stands out at noisy&Co is the attention to detail in both design and execution. From initial concepts through to final build, the standard has always been excellent. There’s a clear focus on getting the small things right, which ultimately makes a big difference to the overall result.That same approach consistently shows in the quality of work delivered. Everything is handled with care, precision, and a genuine commitment to doing things properly.Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

      I’ve got huge respect for what Noisy & Co are building. I recently worked with them to support the marketing and presentation of my construction business, and the results were outstanding. Their ability to design and deliver high-quality expo and conference setups made a real impact, helping us stand out and present our brand professionally.The team were reliable, creative, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. Coming from a background in the hardcore music scene, I really appreciate the same DIY ethic and passion they bring to their work—there’s a genuine energy and pride in everything they do. If you’re looking for a company that truly understands how to showcase your business, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Noisy & Co.

In large media markets such as Los Angeles or New York, premium studios equipped with Pro Tools systems, advanced mixing consoles, and acoustic recording rooms may charge $100-$300+ per hour.

Some studios also offer daily rates. Mid-range professional studios often cost $500-$1,000 per day for recording sessions.

How long does the audio production process usually take?

The timeline for an audio production project varies depending on the type of content, the complexity of the sound design, and the number of collaborators involved.  

Simple projects like podcasts or social media audio may be completed within a few days, while larger projects such as feature film soundtracks or music albums can take several months. 

Large productions such as feature films, documentaries, or television series require more time because they involve extensive sound design, dialogue editing, Foley recording, and multi-channel mixing. 

Audio post-production for a 30-minute film, for example, can require 150-300 hours of work depending on audio quality and complexity.

Corporate video audio1-3 weeks

What should I look for in an audio production agency portfolio?

Key factors decision-makers should evaluate when reviewing an audio production agency portfolio include:

  • A diverse range of projects 
    Strong audio production agencies typically showcase 10 to 30 portfolio projects covering a wide range of work, such as commercials, podcasts, music production, video production, and sound design.
  • High-quality audio samples or demo reels (30-120 seconds each)
    Most professional portfolios include short audio demo clips between 30 seconds and 2 minutes that highlight specific elements, like dialogue clarity, music production, and acoustic sound design.
  • Evidence of experience across multiple industries 
    The best audio production companies demonstrate experience across 3-5 industries, indicating that the agency can adapt to different creative and technical requirements.
  • Collaboration with recognized brands, artists, or musicians
    Many companies highlight notable clients or collaborations, such as brands, advertising agencies, or well-known artists. Even a portfolio that includes 5-10 recognizable clients or campaigns can demonstrate credibility and industry trust.
  • Proof of measurable impact or performance results
    Some portfolios include metrics that demonstrate the success of the project. For example, videos with strong sound design can increase social media shares by 35%, and sonic branding elements help 90% of consumers remember a brand.
  • Recent work from the past 2-3 years
    Because audio technology and digital media evolve quickly, a strong portfolio should highlight recent projects completed within the last 24-36 months.Â
