Whether in warehouse setting or construction site large equipment can create incredible levels of noise. Noise levels can be dangerous to structures, indigenous wildlife, and employees. That is why it is important to have acoustical consultants assess the noise level of industrial sites. IES-2000 can provide complete assessments of your job site and make recommendations regarding noise levels. We will offer various noise control materials such as industrial soundproofing curtains to diminish noise pollution. Our customer service technicians work with customers, to create a solution to meet all of their noise reduction needs.
Noise Control Materials
It is important to choose the right materials to insulate your equipment so its function isn’t inhibited. At IES-2000, we have the know-how to properly reduce the amount of noise generated. There are two different types of soundproofing materials.
- Acoustic Absorbers
- Acoustic Barriers
Acoustic Absorbers
Materials that absorb sound waves, so the noise doesn’t reflect off the surface, are known as acoustic absorbers. This type of material is used to wrap the exposed surfaces of noisy equipment, so the amount of noise reverberation is significantly decreased. Acoustic absorbers are typically made from porous materials, because they absorb noise better than non-porous materials.
IES-2000 can provide a number of different acoustic absorbers:
- Foam Based Acoustic Absorbers
- Fiber Acoustic Absorbers
Foam-Based Acoustic Absorbers
There are several different acoustic foams available. They are widely relied upon because they can have custom-designed facing and adjustable thickness. Two of the most popular types of foam-based absorbers are listed below:
- Polyether Foam Acoustic Absorbers
- Polyester Foam Acoustic Absorbers
Created from open-cell polyurethane, this lightweight polyether provides superior sound absorption. It also has unsurpassed flexibility, compressibility, and thermal insulation.
The polyester foam also provides flexibility, compressibility, and thermal insulation, but has a much greater tensile strength.
Fiber Acoustic Absorbers
This is most often used for low-frequency sound absorption. Compliance with UL94 HF1 standards, fiber acoustic absorbers also can provide insulation for temperatures reaching 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Acoustic Barriers
Rather than absorbing sound waves, like acoustic absorbers, acoustic barriers prevent soundwaves from transmitting. The most common types are industrial soundproofing curtains.
Two other types of acoustic barriers are listed below:
- Mass Loaded Vinyl Barrier
- PVC Barrier
Mass Loaded Vinyl Barrier
Providing superior noise reduction, these can help stop sound waves from transmitting through floorboards, walls, and ceilings. These can include acoustic barrier curtains and industrial sound curtains.
PVC Barrier
Corrosion resistant, PVC sound barriers are an excellent sound insulator. With a wide-range of applications, they are frequently used for industrial applications. They offer noise cancellation properties with low-maintenance and unsurpassed longevity.
In Conclusion
With our acoustical technicians, our sound expertise is second to none. Providing each sound reduction project individually, IES-2000 customizes each solution. We meet the needs of every customer, every time. If you have noise reduction needs, reach out to us today.
