When you think about acoustics, you possibly think about concert halls. However, musicians are not the only ones that benefit from great acoustics. Architectural noise control is important in making sure sounds are transmitted effectively and clearly. They matter speaking of keeping things serene in places such as museums or libraries, or ensuring loud noises are not too loud, in places such as casinos.  Loud noise can enhance blood pressure, anxiousness and stress, and put people at a higher stake of heart disease and stroke. On the other hand, a well designed school building with the right classroom acoustics can impact the mental health of a student and overall sense of wellbeing for good.  The reality is, great acoustics are vital in almost any environment. This is why it is important to get them right from the beginning. It is much simpler to get great acoustics into a project at the outset, from the design phase through construction than it is to change things later on...

Machine sound enclosures are acoustic chambers that lessen or attenuate noise. To safeguard the health and wellbeing of staffs and to avoid possible noise annoyance to neighboring properties, these enclosures are generally used in industrial settings to prevent machinery noise and echo from crossing the statutory limit. The enclosures lessen noise pollution from equipment and plants, while making sure the site continues to work at maxim effectiveness. Lessen noise annoyance Being made of acoustic materials, acoustic blankets or enclosures will lessen noise annoyance from source like fans, plant rooms, engine test rooms, generators, chillers, AC units, pumps and different types of industrial equipment through sound absorption, sound insulation, vibration isolation and vibration dampening.  Customized acoustic enclosures can be designed for all types of production tools and equipment, making sure simple accessibility for people using and maintaining the machinery. Designs can take ...

Industrial noise is everywhere around us. From the big factory down the street to the corner bakery, and also the antique woodworking you would like to visit often. This noise, when it crosses 85 decibels becomes dangerous to the people and the environment across it if left unattended. Some experts feel that research and science have proven that some people become seriously ill or even die when subjected to noise pollution in regular life, which calls for industrial noise control measures.  Keeping these levels of excessive sound down is the perfect solution.  Retrofitting of equipment can be costly and cumbersome. Another more realistic option is the use of sound barrier walls . Conventional sound barrier materials have included concrete which is quite heavy and thick.  Industrial noise barrier fundamentals Concrete noise barriers are just concrete with supporting posts. These walls are heavy, solid and immobile. Absorptive noise barrier walls and fabric wrapped acousti...

If you want to know more about STC rating, you are possibly planning a construction project, and it is possibly not a tool shed. Sound transmission class ratings usually emerge in places where we want to retain sound inside or out, such as a road facing exterior wall, sound studio or a bedroom above the garage.  When people are assessing acoustical products and building materials for reduction of sound, they depend on the sound transmission class or STC 39 window .  How to evaluate STC rating? Calculation of STC ratings may appear slightly tricky initially, but it is not as complex as you may think. Deciding ratings for walls, windows and ceilings all happen the same way as defined by the ASTM E90 standard. The first step in rating a STC 53 window is to determine the transmission material loss at different frequencies.  What is a great STC rating? A great STC rating is mainly determined by the type of noise problem you are trying to resolve, and the results you are tryin...
