Stopping 60Hz pulsating noise form entering a room-Acoustics Forum-Acoustic Fields Forum

Q, Noise issues require barrier technologies to reduce the transmission of noise from source to the receiver. Using sound absorption technology (bass traps) will not address the transmission of noise from the source to the receiver. It will reduce the amplitude at certain frequencies within the room but will do nothing to reduce the amplitude of noise transmission. You must be willing to build a room within a room that will reduce the noise transmission. Without noise measurements, it is difficult to estimate what the structure will be. However, the barrier depth requirement for a 60 Hz. noise issue starts at 6″ and can go deeper depending on amplitude.

Q, There is a process when working with noise and designing the appropriate barrier. Building it is the easier part of the process. The noise must be quantified and qualified using measurements over a 7 day time period. These measurements can be taken with your cell phone. You then send the data back to us and we design the barrier and send you drawings on its construction. The design fee for this service is 1,500.00.
