Silent Sounds Reviews 

Silent Sounds is a very efficient company. Providing excellent interpreters as requested. I really cannot recommend them highly enough. First rate service, nice staff and easy to use booking system.

As a freelance interpreter it's equally important to develop a rapport with the agency staff, as it is the Deaf client. Osman and Sam are always polite, friendly and professional. They are responsive to queries and help with negotiations on times/dates to ensure the Deaf client is able to access their appointments with their preferred interpreter. Overall, it's an excellent service for interpreters and the Deaf community. Well done!

Breath of fresh air in terms of dealing with agencies as a freelance interpreter. The support, clear communication and good humoured chats makes them so approachable and a joy to work with!

I’ve been fortunate to have worked with Silent Sounds for many years. Sarah, Osman and Sam are always super supportive and encouraging, making every experience easy and enjoyable. Finance are also amazing, there for you if any queries arise and never late with payments.
Can’t thank the team enough. Would absolutely recommend if anyone was either looking for freelance work or to any clients looking for support. A valuable asset for our Deaf community.

I am a receptionist at a GP surgery who uses silent sounds regularly. All the workers are very efficient and hard working. Osmond in particular always goes above and beyond to help both the receptionists and the patients. As a surgery we couldn't ask for a better experience when using silent sounds. 5 stars.

Silent Sounds have lovely helpful staff, who communicate well and are friendly. approachable and reliable

Osman & Sam are the heart of Silent sounds BSl interpreting department. Always have a cheerful vibe and accommodating. Great to work with.

I’ve been working with Silent Sounds as a freelance interpreter for over 2 years now, the booking team are nothing but lovely and helpful and whenever you have a problem are more than happy to help you find a solution, I have built a very good working relationship with Sam and Osman, I can talk to Sam like a friend and she’s so lovely and helpful and Osman is always so cheery on the phone, professional and helpful. Sarah as well takes complaints very seriously and always solves the issue so you feel like a valued interpreter. Thank you 🫶

It is a pleasure to work with Silent Sounds. They support their clients and are inclusive to the deaf community. The staff are always friendly and professional. I am fully supported throughout my interpreting journey and they are always willing to go that little bit extra if needed.

I joined the agency a few months ago and felt nervous about taking on jobs. However, Silent Sounds communicates effectively and ensures Interpreters are comfortable with bookings and are extremely supportive. I would highly recommend Silent Sounds.

I’m an RSLI BSL/English Interpreter based in Manchester and have been working with Silent Sounds for a few years now. The team are amazing – always friendly, supportive and easy to talk to. Special shoutout to Osman Hussain and Samantha Clark, who always go above and beyond!

What I really value about Silent Sounds is how much they care about both interpreters and the Deaf community. If there’s ever an issue, they’re quick to help and always stay positive. Their communication is excellent – if there’s a delay or problem getting to a booking, they contact the client straight away, which makes such a difference.

They strike the perfect balance between being professional and keeping things fun. It’s always a pleasure working with them. Highly recommend!

As an RSLI interpreter, face-to-face assignments are generally preferred. However, there are times when online is the only option.

Silent Sounds takes the time to work with both clients and interpreters, offering advice and support to all parties before any assignment. They make sure that training, equipment and the environment are both practical and suitable.

This approach ensures smooth assignments with clear communication and positive outcomes for all. Working with them is truly a pleasure.

I am a registered (RSLI) BSL/English interpreter based in London and I started working for Silent Sounds in July. I had never worked for an agency before but was reassured that the team would support me if I ever had any issues, they have been true to their word again and again. Slowly and surely I have been building my confidence and I can honestly say that I actually love working for Silent Sounds. I have been offered a wide variety of bookings, I always feel able to say no to bookings, if I am unsure about something it is easy to get in touch with the team. I feel incredibly supported by the team and know that they have my interests at heart. They are passionate about supporting interpreters and the Deaf community. The team are very professional but also fun as well. Unlike other agencies if there is a problem getting to a booking Silent Sounds contact the client to explain if the interpreter is going to be late. The communication is excellent. I spoke to other interpreters who work for other agencies as well as Silent Sounds and they have all said that Silent Sounds is the best for support for BSL/English interpreters. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Silent Sounds as an RSLI interpreter.

Just wanted to say what a great pleasure it is to work for Silent Sounds as an interpreter, they are my favourite agency as their customer service is second to none, and they work with you, so that you feel supported. Its always a bonus to work for an agency that puts deaf people first. The staff are extremely friendly and would go out of their way to help you. I have worked for Silent Sounds for some years now and they are going from strength to strength.
