Utilities face community pressure when they emit excessive levels of noise. In some cases, the noise can be abated by attacking the source – machinery. When that is not feasible, the alternative approach is to attack the problem with construction – sound-insulating walls, ceilings and floors. The goal is usually to take at least 10 dB of noise out, across a broad frequency band.
Damping noise and vibration has traditionally been costly and risky – until now. Quiet Solution offers the utility industry a complete line of high-performance products to soundproof machinery, and the associated buildings and vehicles. Using a new generation of viscoelastic polymers, it is now possible to achieve high levels of quiet with a fraction of the bulk, weight and cost of traditional technologies.
The most effective way to mitigate utility industry machinery noise and vibration is to coat as much of the equipment as possible with QuietCoat viscoelastic polymer. The other approach is to contain the noise by building soundproof areas.
