Acoustic Enclosures
Acoustic Enclosures for Noisy Equipment and Machinery
If you have ever worked or lived in an area with high noise levels, you know how challenging it can be to concentrate or simply enjoy a moment of tranquility. Whether it’s from heavy machinery, generators, or even loud HVAC systems, constant noise pollution can be a significant hindrance. However, there’s a solution for these issues: acoustic enclosures.
An Acoustic Enclosure. A re-enterable Acoustic Enclosure.
DuraSystems offers a line of acoustic enclosures, also known as noise enclosures or sound enclosures, that help mitigate unwanted sound, or “noise”, in critical areas of a building.
Introduction to Acoustic Enclosures
An acoustic enclosure is a noise protection solution designed to absorb or deflect sound waves. They serve to reduce noise levels in various settings, from industrial environments to commercial spaces. In the simplest terms, acoustic enclosures make environments more conducive for work and life by providing sound insulation.
Understanding the Need for Acoustic Enclosures
Noise pollution has detrimental effects on people’s health and productivity. Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can lead to hearing loss, stress, sleep disturbance, and reduced cognitive function. Moreover, in industrial settings, noise can be disruptive and hinder communication, which can lead to operational inefficiencies and safety risks.
Most companies require dedicated mechanical equipment like fans, generators, or pumps, to ensure their daily operations run smoothly and efficiently. The side effect of such equipment is that they generate a high level of sound. Local health and safety regulations require that hearing protection be worn in areas where certain noise thresholds are exceeded.
Just one piece of noisy equipment could require all personnel to wear hearing protection, which can pose to be an expensive proposition when you consider the cost of the actual hearing protection equipment and the enforcement of the health and safety regulations. The potential for hearing damage to personnel and expensive injury claims are also an ever present danger in noisy industrial environments. Local bylaws may also require that businesses maintain a specific sound level outside the building during day or night time operations. Excessive sound can result in noise violation complaints from adjacent businesses or residents.
