Industrial noise refers to sound generated in industrial plants, production facilities, power generation, industrial processes, manufacturing operations, or from the use of machinery. Our experienced industrial acoustics designers become your trusted partners in managing noise both during the planning of investment projects and while operations are ongoing.
We serve as your expert in noise assessments, acoustic design, noise control programs, and the development of low-noise processes and equipment.
Acoustic design for productive industry
Environmental noise from industrial facilities can be effectively controlled through precise equipment selection and expert structural solutions. When noise and vibration are considered early in the investment project, they can be mitigated most efficiently. Environmental noise can already be reduced by choosing a location on the site where sound propagation is minimized.
In the design of new equipment and processes, we aim for low noise levels or acoustic comfort. For existing equipment, we design silencers or noise-reducing enclosures.
“Our industrial acoustics design is based on the latest technologies, including sound control simulations, calculations, and measurement methods – suitable even for SMEs’ noise control needs.”
Noise measurements reveal opportunities for improvement
Noise in production may also indicate potential for improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness. For example, if extensive grinding is needed in a machine shop, it may be worth improving part fits or adjusting welding equipment.
Through industrial acoustics noise measurements, we identify opportunities for optimization. At the same time, we can monitor variables that describe the operation of a machine or process, such as rotational speed, pressure loss, flow rate, and power consumption.
Acoustic product development for process improvement
Our industrial acoustics designers are experienced partners in developing low-noise and acoustically pleasant equipment and processes.
- In industrial machine acoustics development, we ensure not only low noise levels but also cost- and energy-efficient design choices.
- In acoustic concept development, we utilize simulation and structured innovation to support product development.
- We measure the noise emissions and vibrations of equipment or processes and solve the identified issues.
- We also consider sound quality in product development – assessing and improving it as part of the process.
