Industrial
Industrial noise control involves a wide array of acoustical issues and noise sources. Industrial machinery tends to create structure borne sound as well as airborne sound. OSHA regulations require sound levels to be within certain ranges for workplace safety. Lowering noise levels also help improve communication efforts and reduce worker fatigue. To solve these issues, noisy equipment typically requires an enclosure to prevent sound leaks as well as isolation mounts to prevent transmission of structure borne sound.
Acoustical materials, such as wall panels and baffles, may be used to lower excessive reverberation times and keep sound from unnecessarily reflecting to other areas of the space. Reducing sound and noise in open manufacturing and industrial applications can help produce a better work environment and meet required safety regulations.

Warehouse Noise Reduction: Acoustic Strategies for a Productive Space
I recently worked with a large warehouse that had a serious noise issue. The space was massive, with tall ceilings and endless rows of machinery humming, forklifts whirring, and conveyor belts clanking. Every corner echoed with noise, making it nearly impossible for employees to communicate effectively. Their team was frustrated, morale was slipping, and safety […] Read More »

Soundproofing Industrial Noise
Soundproofing industrial noise will help reduce occupational exposure to high sound levels to create a productive and safe working environment. Noise is a huge concern in factories and industrial facilities. It can create hazards in the workplace and affect your health. Industrial Facilities often need to meet specific noise level requirements as outlined by OSHA […] Read More »

Industrial Hearing Protection: Lowering Reverberation Time
Employees at industrial facilities are typically exposed to higher levels of noise than the average worker. Machinery in sawmills, compressor stations, and manufacturing plants can be very loud. This can far exceed the level of noise OSHA deems safe for an 8-hour shift. To combat the danger of NIHL (noise induced hearing loss), industrial hearing […] Read More »

What do Acoustical Wall Panels do?
Large, open rooms like churches, auditoriums, and concert halls often have sound issues, with reverberations and echoes lessening the sound quality. It can create a noisy, unpleasant experience and make it difficult to hear, especially if the room is full of different sounds. To manage the sounds in these spaces, we find it advantageous to […] Read More »
