Noise Control

The application of the product is more important than the product itself.

At Vibro-Acoustics, we look at the specific requirements and design criteria of your project. HVAC noise paths and possible vibration sources are taken into account, as well as the location of occupied spaces and possible receivers. In addition, we consider material selection, space restrictions, IAQ concerns, pressure drop limitations and, of course, total cost. We propose a tailored solution, greatly reducing the risk of noise problems and costly reworking after the building is erected.

Healthcare

Lack of adequate noise control can actually impede patient recovery. Some sensitive systems, including MRI equipment, may not perform in the presence of vibration. For workers both in hospitals and other healthcare buildings, vibration and noise control is imperative to avoid poor working conditions in all vital spaces.

Commercial

Vibration and noise control in commercial buildings are smart business. Commercial spaces with HVAC noise problems create a less productive work atmosphere, more noise complaints and more lawsuits. Buildings with correctly applied noise control earn a higher resale value for the owner and position the consultant to win more projects from the competition.

Education

For schools, colleges and universities, vibration and noise control are crucial: it makes the environment more conducive to learning and avoids speech intelligibility issues. For the consulting engineer, vibration and noise control preempts client complaints – and the damage to reputation and loss of repeat business – that can result.
