Vibration and noise are closely connected. Uncontrolled vibration can generate structure-borne noise, affecting machine performance, measurement accuracy and workplace comfort.
Effective vibration isolation can therefore help reduce both unwanted movement and noise.
How Vibration Creates Noise
Industrial machines, HVAC systems and other equipment can transfer vibration into floors, walls and structures.
These vibrations can then create unwanted noise and affect sensitive equipment.
Key Noise and Vibration Control Techniques
Damping Materials
Materials such as:
- Viscoelastic compounds
- Rubber
- Specialised foams
help absorb vibration energy and reduce the noise generated by machinery.
Active Vibration Control
Active systems use sensors and actuators to detect and counteract vibrations in real time.
These systems are useful for:
- Precision manufacturing
- Research equipment
- Aerospace applications
- Sensitive measuring systems
Isolation Mounts and Enclosures
Properly designed mounts and enclosures help reduce vibration transmission and structure-borne noise by controlling mass, stiffness and damping.
Applications
Combined vibration and noise control is important in:
- Industrial manufacturing
- Research laboratories
- Healthcare facilities
- HVAC installations
- Commercial buildings
- Precision testing environments
