4 WAYS TO QUIET A NOISY MACHINE
Product Testing & Information
Treat the Room
For top-quality noise control, our soundproofing experts recommend utilizing acoustic panels, acoustic foam, and sound-absorbing materials such as fiberglass.
- Maximum Noise Reduction: 6-9 decibels (30-40% decrease in loudness)
- Advantages: No inconvenience to workers
- Disadvantages: Almost all of the room must be treated regardless of the size of the noise source.
- Top Products include:
Treat the Wall Behind the Noise
Address the noise at its source by targeting the wall behind the machine.
- Maximum Noise Reduction: 1-2 decibels if noise source sprays noise out into room, 4-6 decibels if noise is sprayed directly onto wall (such as noisy vent on the back of a machine).
- Advantages: No inconvenience to workers
- How much QFA? Treat the wall behind the machine with about twice the square footage of the “noise shadow” of the machine on the wall.
Build a Barrier or Partial Enclosure
For superior noise reduction, constructing a barrier or partial enclosure around the machine is highly effective.
- Maximum Noise Reduction: 6-15 decibels
- Advantages: Very good noise reduction
- Concerns: May have to incorporate view windows for visibility and/or sliding panels for access.
- What Size? At a minimum, 8′ high. Typically they should be double the height of the noise source.
- “BSC” or “BBC” sound absorption/noise barrier composites
Build a Complete Noise Enclosure
When maximum noise reduction is your priority, a complete noise enclosure is the ideal solution.
- Noise Reduction: Up to 20-30 decibels
- Advantages: Maximum noise reduction
- Concerns: May have to incorporate view windows for visibility and/or sliding panels for access as well as ventilation baffle(s) for air flow.
- “BSC” or “BBC” sound absorption/noise barrier composites.
