Structural Acoustic Insulation, Duct Resonance Diagnostics, and Industrial Noise Mitigation

We assess vibration levels in ventilation systems and ducting, install high-density fiberglass dampeners, measure decibel levels, and isolate noise in commercial buildings. No video streaming — only physical acoustic engineering.

Applied Noise Control Services

Measurable attenuation for ventilation, ductwork, and industrial equipment.

01

Duct Resonance Diagnostics

Modal analysis of vertical and horizontal duct runs. We identify standing wave patterns using precision microphones and FFT analyzers, then install tuned mass dampeners at anti-nodal points. Typical attenuation: 10–16 dB in the 63–250 Hz band.

02

High-Density Fiberglass Dampeners

Custom baffle placement for industrial exhaust fans and HVAC plenums. Inline, elbow-mounted, or plenum-chamber configurations. Achieves 8–12 dB reduction across 500–4000 Hz with minimal pressure drop. Materials rated for ducts up to 120°C.

03

Vibration Isolation for Rooftop AHUs

Spring isolators, neoprene pads, and floating slab systems for air handling units. Field measurements show spring mounts with 25 mm deflection reduce floor vibration velocity by 90%. Includes wind uplift and seismic bracing compliance.

04

Industrial Exhaust Fan Noise Mitigation

Broadband noise control for fans in manufacturing and processing plants. Hybrid dampener placement at fan outlet and first 90° elbow. Typical insertion loss of 8–12 dB without exceeding static pressure limits.

05

On-Site Decibel Mapping

Room-by-room and duct-by-duct noise surveys using Class 1 sound level meters. We produce contour maps of sound pressure levels and identify dominant frequency bands. Reports include recommended treatment locations and expected attenuation.

06

Acoustic Lining Performance Audits

Assessment of existing duct liners and sound attenuators. We measure insertion loss, pressure drop, and degradation over time. Recommendations include replacement schedules and material upgrades for high-temperature or corrosive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common inquiries about our acoustic assessment and insulation services.

What types of duct systems do you assess for resonance?

We evaluate rectangular, spiral, and flexible ductwork in commercial HVAC, industrial exhaust, and ventilation shafts. Our diagnostics cover low-frequency standing waves and high-frequency broadband noise.

How do you measure noise reduction after installing dampeners?

We use calibrated sound level meters and real-time analyzers to measure decibel levels before and after installation. Insertion loss is calculated across octave bands from 63 Hz to 8 kHz, with results documented in a detailed report.

Can vibration isolation be retrofitted to existing rooftop units?

Yes. We design retrofit solutions using spring isolators or neoprene pads that fit under existing AHU bases. Each installation accounts for static deflection, wind loads, and seismic requirements without disrupting ongoing building operations.

What is the typical timeline for a duct resonance diagnostic?

A standard diagnostic for a single duct run takes one to two days on-site, followed by three to five business days for data analysis and report generation. Complex multi-zone systems may require additional measurement cycles.

Do you provide acoustic modeling before installation?

We perform modal analysis and finite element modeling for critical duct runs to predict resonance frequencies and optimize dampener placement. This reduces trial-and-error and ensures measurable attenuation from the first installation.
