Acoustic Enclosures

An acoustic enclosure is essentially a box designed to trap and mitigate noise produced by a noise source. They are often used to protect employees from hazardous noise in industrial/manufacturing facilities or reduce environment noise. Solving your noise issue with acoustic enclosures of sufficient STC, around the offending noise source sounds relatively easy, but there are many factors to consider.

The challenges often come from not the noise itself, but the requirements enclosures need to meet. From very small, simple acoustic enclosures to large custom engineered systems, issues that may need to be addressed when designing the enclosure are:

  • Access (maintenance, safety, machine operation)
  • Visibility (machine progress, gauges, etc.)
  • Ventilation (electric motors generate heat)
  • Material ingress and egress

Depending on the product, enclosures can be floor, ceiling, or wall mounted. They can even be suspended from a roof deck.  Economical enclosure systems utilize acoustic curtain panels made of reinforced mass loaded vinyl barriers and quilted fiberglass absorbers. In order to achieve the greatest STC, certain applications may require the use of metal wall enclosures. And in some cases, enclosures may be engineered using a combination of products.
