Soundproofing and Noise Control Information

One night of NY noise--acoustical treatments for City-Dwellers

Living in a noisy environment isn’t healthy. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has numerous studies on the negative effects of noise. But after living in a city/metro area, noise just becomes a part of your life.

I was recently in New York City, and when it comes to noise control, NY has some serious issues. In a past blog, I wrote about new legislations NY passed concerning sound control.(more)

Air Compressor noise controlled by ABSC-25 enclosure...

03 December 07 - 14:11 - by Kevin

Here are before and after shots of an ABSC-25 blanket enclosure designed to reduce the noise produced by air compressors in an office furniture factory.

Before

After

This shows a 34' x 12' x 12' high enclosure on a double tracked HD frame system with 3 floor standing supports and wall mountings. The double track enables easy access to the equipment for maintenance access. The ABSC-25 blankets provide 1" of sound absorptive fiberglass on each side and a sound barrier layer in the center. They hang on rolling hooks which travel in the track framing at the top and seal together with vertically mating velcro.

My customer sent me the pictures with the comment "The wall makes a noticeable difference in ambient sound levels,"... and the "maintenance folks are very happy with the results."
