Noise control is a growing concern in factories, industrial sites, manufacturing and mining facilities. The goal for industrial noise control is to promote hearing conservation while reducing noise levels for personnel to protect employees from hearing loss and increase industrial safety within the facilities. Companies are required to comply with industrial safety noise levels within OSHA requirements or other governmental or insurance agency requirements. Acoustical enclosures and machinery enclosures are a very common treatment for industrial noise control requirements. Acoustical Solutions custom fabricates all of their industrial enclosures to meet the requirements of the environment that it is going into. The acoustical and machinery enclosures are typically made from AudioSeal acoustical blankets. These are very durable vinyl quilted blankets that can be suspended or floor mounted to form any type of industrial enclosure. Metal machinery enclosures are also available.

Noise reduction is achieved with the use of:


• Acoustical blankets

• Sound PROOFING AND Isolation products materials VINYL SOUND BARRIER

• Hanging baffles and banners

Envirotech Systems has the wide range of solutions to your industrial noise issues. Excessive noise in industrial and manufacturing settings not only reduces productivity, it puts workers' health at risk. exposure to loud noise causes stress and hearing loss. We have assisted numerous companies in protecting workers' health, and avoiding costly insurance claims, by addressing industrial noise

We offers a complete line of Class "A" rated noise absorption products that will meet the most stringent code requirements to All Manufacturing, Heavy Machine plant, Grinding, Assembly operations and Distribution Centers , which require acoustic treatments to meet out the Noise Standard

Acoustic Panels, Baffles and Curtains are just a sample of choices that reduce overall noise and control reverberation in factories, processing plants and other industrial settings by trapping and dissipating sound waves. Most of our industrial noise control products are made from Class 1 fire-rated materials.


With Envirotech soundproofing systems you get the highest quality and most affordable Noise Reduction, Acoustical, and Premium soundproofing Materials.

Basic Soundproofing Principles:

Only Three Things Stop Noise

1. Space. The more space there is, the more noise reduction there is. As an exaggeration, if you are 10 miles away, you will not hear it, except under strange circumstances.

2. Mass. A six foot thick concrete wall works great!! If it is heavy, it will work well. Remember, if it does not weigh much it will not stop much.

3. Dampening. This requires a little explanation. Like a wine glass, when you make it ring... but you can keep it quiet by holding it. You have dampened the noise by retarding the vibrations. This can be achieved in several ways.



Lead is heavy and soft; the softness makes it also dampen the noise and lead is an excellent noise stopper. Making noise transfer through different layers of material with different densities also helps dampen noise



Noise Reduction vs. Noise Absorption - Sound Proofing Principle

This is a very important principle to understand about soundproofing. There are two types of noise reduction and they are almost always confused with each other. All noise reduction and soundproofing are not alike. Noise absorption is not noise reduction.

Noise Reduction

Noise Reduction is achieved by stopping it, killing it, not letting the noise get through the wall or window. Stop the noise before it gets to you, or into the room you are in. For this you use mass and space. You can build heavy walls with large air spaces and you maximize dampening as best you can.

Noise Absorption

Noise absorption is achieved by changing the characteristic of the noise. Stop it from echoing. Stop the reverberation. Stop the noise reflections. All this involves handling the noise that is within the room. It seldom involves noise from outside the room. You have likely heard of a room as being a "live" room or a "dead" room. For this type of noise reduction or soundproofing you will use carpets, upholstered furniture, acoustical ceiling tile, soundboard or interior walls.
