At one of Boeing’s Arizona facilities they had an on-going sound problem between work areas and office areas. These types of problems typically effect the tangent office areas in multiple ways including loss of productivity and danger of constant sound levels.

Noise Control Challenge
While it’s goal is to produce powerful, quiet and reliable machines, the manufacturing facility in Round Rock Texas produces considerable noise. The absorption of this noise in the facility is typically needed to improve the overall working conditions for the workers. This reduces strai on the, improves productivity and ensures all around a healthier work environment. Retrotting an acoustic solution into a busy facility also is a factor.

Customer called All Noise Control to help them solve their noise control issues in their gym. After discussing their application, All Noise Control provided them with a solution of Acoustical Ceiling Baffles 4×2′ for their application.

The order was placed by Pearson Education they installed their Ceiling Baffles and were very satisfied with our product and service. They would highly recomend All Noise Control.

Question:
STC means how well the product stops or blocks sound from getting into or out of the room. Is noise absorption the level of noise that is generated from within the area that bounces off the material/wall? I want to make sure I understand the difference between them. Also, which one is more important to people?

Noise Absorption and Acoustic Problems with Noise within Houses of Worship

Houses of Worship acoustics require special attention and knowledge to the nuances of voluminous spaces, hard surfaces, especially in the new architectural designs of today’s buildings. This excessive space is wonderfully impressive but allows for significant reverberation, which we are familiar with as echoes. Reverberation can reduce speech legibility and can make otherwise good church sound systems sound awkward. Imagine your ear being bombarded with an array of sounds at different decibels repeatedly served in waves. These sound waves maintain a surprising amount of energy and continue on absorbing and interfering with other sound waves.

The following was posted by a visitor and since it’s a common question I thought it would be beneficial to everyone to share some solutions.

Kerri –
I own a daycare center and noise is a very big problem. Our design is open so there are no walls. We are looking for a noise control solution and are not sure where to start. How do I determine how much noise control I need or what products are likely to have a marked impact on the noise levels?

Another post by a visitor that will be sure to help anyone in shared commercial spaces with noise coming in from adjoined spaces which is a typical situation found in commercial and retail spaces

We are a massage therapy business and need to block the noise coming through the walls and across the drop ceiling from the business next door, which has loud screaming children and music.
Which would be the most effective way to block the noise, on their side of the wall or on our walls? Both sides of ceilings?
We need absoulte quiet for our business.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated!?
Thank you,?

Question:
I need to reduce the noise level reaching a residence located approximately 150 feet from an industrial metal stamping plant. The plant external wall is standard cement block. Would it be feasible to fill the cement block cores with a sound absorbing foam that could be sprayed in as a semi-liquid? I also am interested in applying material inside this plant wall to further reduce the external noise situation. What are the range of choices vs. cost?
Thanks for any help you can provide ….

Hi, I own a small rotary engraving shop in my home. The noise level when cutting plastics, steel, and alumium is very high.The shop is 1000 sq feet, located in the basement and includes an office area. It can be very difficult to talk with customers on the phone when jobs are running.

Kathleen,
Quite an obvious and common problem as noise levels can reach very high levels with rotary engraving. To best help I would need to know more specifics about the layout of space, use of tools and aesthetics required but here are some suggestions for you.

What options are there for blocking noise from i/o boat motors

Marine products need to be produced to withstand the harsh marine environments. Our
best product would be Vibration Damping & Noise Tiles . While these are widely used underneath equipment to reduce equipment vibration, they can also be cut and layered inside compartments and tucked into tight spots to deal with engine noise and the added benefit of helping vibrations where equipment may be touching or close to touching. A similair product and just as durable is our mass loaded vinyl barrier. This can be affixed to the compartment and areas surrounding

We get alot of requests that sound like this…

We live in a condo/home where we get alot of excess and disturbing noise from Neighbors/Dogs/On-going Construction … How can we prevent this? Most often this is followed up with a – How can we do this temporarily or without spending much money.

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.
