Sound Mitigating Curtains

Clients regularly ask us, “What is the best way to mitigate noise from {insert noisy application}?” The source of the noise can be a blower, chiller, fan, hydraulic pump, motor, etc.

One of the best ways to reduce noise from a noisy piece of equipment is to install a sound mitigating curtain. This sound curtain can help contain, shield, absorb, and block the sound exposure to your employees.

We can assist you in the design of this sound partition or sound enclosure curtain system. The basic rules of thumb are to shield the noise with a sound partition of the appropriate width and height. You should, at minimum, block the line-of-sight of the noise source, and we recommend extending the height 3′ to 4′ above the line-of-sight for reductions approaching 10 to 15 decibels.
