The term “noise control” refers to both active and passive methods of mitigating unwanted sound in the environment. There are a number of reasons why noise control is an important consideration in both business and private settings, including personal well-being, environmental concerns and legislative issues. However, before proper noise control solutions can be implemented, it is first necessary to determine the source and the underlying causes behind its existence. Once this has been determined, it is then possible to establish an appropriate means of circumventing further problems.

Acoustics studies the sound and how it behaves in various environments. Sound effects such as absorption, reflection, refraction or interference are also studied by acoustics. The broad acceptance of the term ‘acoustics’ refers to all the aspects of sound. Until not long ago, the notions ‘acoustics’ and ‘sound’ referred to waves and elastic vibrations that humans could hear. However, in the twentieth century, the development of technology and science has led to the broadening of the field of acoustics, in that it now comprises aspects not directly related to the hearing process, such as intensities and frequencies which are above or below the audible limits of humans.

Within the walls of Syracuse Research Center in NY, there’s quite a bit of information. For any research facility privacy is always a concern and a goal. This goal became achievable once Syracuse Research Center connected with All Noise Control.

Educational facilities always have acoustic problems to solve. Whether it’s multi-purpose rooms, gymnasiums or sports centers, theaters, auditorium’s or music and band rooms, there’s a lot of noise in the educational industry. University of Michigan needed to find harmony in their frequently used band room. With the array of instrutments, varity of noise levels and active students, the sound in their band room has serious reverberation problems. Another major contributing factor in these types of rooms are the construction materials, most often exposed concrete which offers a disadvantage by promoting reverberation, echo and distortion of sound.

The Problem….
First, we all know schools and institutions have purchasing limits and strict budgets. Secondly, they need to utilize as much space as possible to support their growth and strict budgets. And just like any other school University of Florida found itself untiizing a small room for a variety of important admistrative and student tasks. The real problem that came with that space however was echo. Echoes are often associated with large voluminous spaces however in a small space the sound waves bounce much more rapidly off the surfaces of the room creating unpleasant and unwanted noise and reverberation. Also known as “echo”

Caterpillar Inc, the industrial of all industrial …. Turns to All Noise Control to supply them with industrial acoustic solutions. Heavy machinery is an understatement when referring to Caterpillar Inc, a world-wide company producing world-class industrial machinery & equipment. At the corporate offices in Morton IL, Caterpillar Inc experienced some acoustic problems that are incredibly common in manufacturing of machinery and equipment. They needed to isolate unhealthy noise levels from machines in their facility.

Animal Shelters:

Controlling animal noise and the sounds of barking dogs in indoor animal shelters requires reduction of the ambient animal noise level within the room itself. Generally, these animal shelters and dog kennels are treated with sound absorptive materials, which will lower the reverberation (echo) time within the rooms.
