Video Production Review from Terry
We’ve made many films ourselves, but nothing like this, this really had impact. Just the details in trying to reach people & hit them & make them FEEL something- so that they would DO something.
Kate Worthy's Review Sourced from Google
The 522 team is great to work with. On our most recent project with them they took our content and vision and created a video that surpassed our expectations! They were extremely responsive throughout the production process and took the time to make sure they truly understood our goals and direction for the project.
Courtney Yates's Review Sourced from Google
The team at 522 productions and specifically Cara as she was my point person, were phenomenal in making the steps to filming seamless and given my baby was part of it, that was no easy task. They went above and beyond with clear instructions and set up a calm and relaxing environment that could otherwise be expected to feel overwhelming. I wish I could give the team more than 5 stars.

I could not be anymore happier with the results given. The communication from the start sold me with making the process very easy and fast. From seeing the production on the website to getting our production back I am very pleased with the work.Jon, who filmed the event for us was top notch. I coordinated the event from California while the sales reps in the area hosted the event. Jon and I took calls so he could make sure het got everything we needed for this event to be filmed and ensure to ask questions so nothing was missed. The sales reps said Jon made the process very seamless and how he made everyone feel comfortable.From making the process easier being in another state, to making the event successful and capturing all moments, I definitely recommend.

Rebecca Larry's Review Sourced from Google
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.

Tried to get one of my Pakistani artists studio time here but they are super selective about who they work with. We offered to do promo and pay for a few hours each week instead of booking their usual five hour minimum but extreme rules for a studio.

Camp LUCK's Review Sourced from Google
Thank you, Episode 11!It’s hard to capture in words what a summer camp experience means to kids. A very “regular" experience like summer camp is even more meaningful for kids with unique medical conditions. Since 2010 Camp LUCK has provided a positive experience that helps everyone reach their potential by building self-esteem, friendships and character in a safe environment. We want our “heart kids” to be “regular kids” for a week and participate in awesome activities that they might not normally be able to. Episode 11 volunteered to capture that experience — and did so — through the words and pictures of some of our campers. The campers’ candid interviews are a powerful reminder of what Camp LUCK means to these kids and their families. And without question, the video documents how much fun they have just being kids.

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.

Seema Rani's Review Sourced from Google
The management shows clear favoritism in the office. Employees who are close to managers get special treatment, more flexibility, and fewer restrictions, while others are treated very differently. This partial behavior creates an unhealthy environment and affects team morale badly. Equal treatment and professionalism are seriously lacking here.

Audio production agencies create radio, streaming, and podcast commercials, including scripting, casting, voice-over, recording, mixing, and mastering.
In the United States, audio is now a mass-reach channel, considering 79% of Americans age 12+ listen to online audio monthly, according to Edison Research.
Podcasts have become mainstream, according to research that shows 55% of Americans listen to podcasts monthly, and 40% weekly.
The demand for audio services is growing rapidly.
According to IBISWorld, the United States alone has more than 25,000 audio production studios. It generates roughly $1.8 billion in annual revenue, while the broader professional audio market exceeded $12.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach over $17 billion by 2030.
Globally, the audio recording services market is projected to exceed $4.3 billion, reflecting growing demand for high-quality studio production.
This growth is also driven by the expansion of podcasts, streaming music, video production, branded content, social media marketing, and feature film production.
Podcast ads can drive unusually strong brand lift. Namely, Nielsen reports aided recall of 71% for podcast advertising vs 50% for people not exposed to them, and brand awareness lift of 13 percentage points in podcasts.
The IAB's FY2023 study reports $1.9B in U.S. podcast ad revenue in 2023, projected to exceed $2B in 2024 and reach nearly $2.6B by 2026, which is a strong signal that businesses keep investing in the channel.
The global audio post-production services market was valued at about $9 billion in 2024 and is growing at nearly 6.9% annually, driven largely by the film, advertising, gaming, and music industries.
The best audio production companies create reusable brand elements for branded content and social media, such as:
They collaborate with video production teams to deliver:
Studies show that sound quality directly affects how audiences judge a message and a speaker. One controlled finding shows that listeners rated the same talk 19.3% better with high-quality audio than with slightly distorted/echo-prone audio.

The cost of hiring audio production companies varies depending on the type of project, the experience of the producer or sound engineer, the location of the recording studio, and the complexity of the final content.
Typical hourly rates according to multiple agency sources include:
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.
When businesses hire audio production agencies for larger projects, total budgets often fall into these ranges:
| Project type | Budget |
| Podcast episode | $200-$1,500 |
| Commercial audio ad | $1,000-$10,000 |
| Corporate video audio | $500-5,000 |
| Music single production | $500-5,000 |
| Full album production | $10,000-$100,000+ |
| Film sound design | $5,000-$50,000 |
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.
| Project type | Timeline |
| Podcast episode | 1-3 days |
| Short commercial | 3-7 days |
| Corporate video audio | 1-3 weeks |
| Music single | 1-3 weeks |
| EP or album | 1-3 months |
| Film or documentary audio | Several weeks to months |
As audio becomes a core component of modern communication, organizations across multiple sectors rely on recording studios, sound engineers, music producers, and sound design specialists to produce high-quality audio.
