HVAC Noise Control
Creating serene and comfortable indoor or outdoor spaces necessitates effective HVAC noise control. Unwanted noise emanating from heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can disrupt productivity, disturb sleep patterns, and compromise well-being.
Understanding the Impact of HVAC Noise
HVAC issues can emerge from multiple sources, including air handling units, compressors, ductwork, and fans. This auditory intrusion may lead to annoyance, reduced productivity, and potential health implications. To mitigate these issues, it is imperative to comprehend the factors contributing to noise and the consequent impact on occupants’ comfort. Through meticulous evaluation of noise levels and identification of problematic areas, suitable measures can be undertaken to curb noise pollution.
HVAC Noise Control Solutions
a. Sound Insulation: Deploying sound insulation materials such as acoustic panels and barriers assists in curtailing airborne noise transmission from HVAC equipment and ductwork. These materials effectively absorb and/or block sound waves, thwarting their propagation into occupied spaces. Sound insulation typically comes in the form of Pipe and Duct Wrapping.
b. Vibration Isolation: Vibrations generated by HVAC systems can transmit noise through structural elements. Implementing vibration isolation techniques, such as isolators and hangers, disrupts this transmission by disassociating the equipment from the building structure.
c. Duct Silencers: Integrating duct silencers or attenuators aids in diminishing noise propagation through ductwork, ensuring quiet and efficient airflow.
d. Acoustic Louvers: Installing louvers around HVAC equipment can help reduce the noise of the system without impacting airflow that it may need.

Amazing products from an amazing company! We have used them now twice at our church and just added one more room for them to do. I had high expectations when they came in initially. They did not disappoint. Everyone immediately noticed the sound quality improvement in the rooms. This product helps us, as a local church, offer a much more comfortable environment for everyone coming into our church. Thank you again everyone at DDS.Ted Towne III2023-09-06DDS did an amazing job sound proofing some difficult areas. They were great to work with and I would highly recommend them! Just to add...we had DDS come back and sound proof other areas because we were so pleased with their work. Highly recommend!Jodi Zepke2023-08-23We are so thankful for the installation that DDS Acoustical Specialities did for a preschool classroom. The panels are making a remarkable difference in the sound in the room! The children and staff are able to concentrate more in the echo-free space. The company was excellent from start to finish! Fair estimate, quick turnaround, prompt, professional and high quality work! DDS was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend you call them to help with sound issues! They can improve your sound to make a difference!Rachelle Kehoe2023-07-27From the very start DDS was a winner in my book. Dave answered the phone, came right out to assess our needs and we had a quote in no time. Their crew was informative, professional and kept their space tight and clean. And the product.... what a difference it has made in our restaurant. Even during the phases we could hear a difference from where the panels were installed and where they were not yet done. I would HIGHLY recommend them!Holly Neylon2023-03-31We recently worked with DDS Acoustical Specialties on an acoustic solution for a workstation area. We went with a combination of pinnable panels, ceiling panels, wall panels, and art panels, which have exceeded our expectations for the space.Sarah Rahkonen2023-03-21My church engaged DDS Acoustical Specialties to reduce the noise level in our parish hall. The hard surfaces on the floor, walls, and ceiling made it difficult to converse when the room was full. We are very pleased with both the appearance of the sound absorbing foam panels which DDSAS installed on the ceiling and also with the reduction in the noise level. Many of our members have commented favorably on the improvement. I would recommend this company without reservation.David Martin2023-01-19Great experience. We had a very severe sound reverberation issue in our town hall meeting room and Tyler and his team solved it quickly and affordably. Town meetings will never be filled with complaints (about the inability to hear) ever again. I highly recommend this company. And if you are ever in the Town of Sharon, Connecticut on a weekday, pop in, go to the second floor and hear for yourselfBrent Colley2022-10-27I had a great experience with DDS Acoustical Specialties from start to finish. I have a small physical therapy practice in Burlington, VT. and needed soundproofiing for my office. Mary was prompt and very knowledgable about how I could be helped on the phone and throughout the process. Steve made the long drive to provide and estimate for the work, and was extremely efficient, professional and pleasant to work with during the installation. They soundproofed the doors and ceiling tiles and it's made a tremendous difference.The entire process took about a month from start to finish. I now feel confident that my space is private and secure for my clients. I would highly recommend their services!Michelle Downing2022-08-01Great company to work with. Reasonable price for an acoustical solution in my 2900 sqf restaurant space. The noise has reduced considerably and people can hear each other even when the restaurant is fully booked. Highly recommended.Antonio De Trizio2022-08-01We had a great experience working with DDS. They checked all the boxes: great service, extremely knowledgeable, great selection at different price points; worked quickly and efficiently. Will use again in the future!Esme Green2022-07-15
