Reducing noise pollution is key for most construction sites. Reducing sound not only benefits the surrounding community, but also, on-site workers. Noise pollution might lack the visual impact of growing landfills and dwindling environment does for other types of pollution, but it too has a lasting impact.
There are various methods, which when employed, can greatly reduce the amount of noise produced. At IES-2000, we are your noise reduction specialists. Whether employing a vibration damping sheet or suggesting other vibration dampening materials, we are the answer to unwanted noise. Reach out to us today and find out how we can help your company.
One of the most effective ways to cut noise is by controlling vibration. Damping is the best-known vibration controlling technique. It converts vibrations into heat, thus eliminating the energy created by vibration. When the vibration is eliminated, so is the noise.
Rubber mounts are typically employed to dampen the sounds created by vibration. Acoustic damping material can be found in various locations throughout a construction site. Vibration sound concerns can also be found in the medical community, and business arenas. Some of the most notable places are included in the list below.
Vibrational noise from a consumer point of view can become problematic and bothersome. No customer wants an incredibly loud dishwasher or washing machine. There is another reason too. Long-term vibrational noise can make mechanical structures unstable and weak due to structural fatigue.
When companies manufacture their mechanical structures, it is important that they realize the issues that come with vibrational noise. There are typically two types of damping systems to utilize. They are listed below:
In industrial, medical, or aerospace, constrained layer damping works quite well. Free layer damping is somewhat limited, but very practical in certain applications.
The easiest to apply, free layer damping can also add considerable weight to the product. One example of this is the automotive industry. Polymer is typically used to coat metal, to absorb the vibration0. This type of sound dampening is also recommended for lightweight structures.
For heavy applications such as floor or ceiling structures Constrained Layer Damping is recommended. It also converts vibration to heat diminishing the sound.
Whether new to noise pollution reduction technology or a seasoned expert, IES-2000 is here to answer questions and to create real-world sound reduction solutions. Utilizing the latest vibration damping sheets and other acoustic damping material, IES-2000 has the perfect solution.
