Noise Control Solutions with NOISEBLOCK™ Sound Barrier Wall Panels for Utilities, Highways/Transportation, Rooftop Equipment and Residential Noise Compliance.
Control of Noise and Vibration is essential for Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality. Kinetics Noise Control has the expertise to provide cost effective, practical solutions - standard or custom engineered.
The control of noise in every day life is very important. Unwanted noise can cause stress related illness and severe noise can cause hearing damage. To meet these requirements and to help solve many noise problems, Kinetics manufactures a complete line of acoustical panels called NOISEBLOCK™ Barrier Panels. Noise barrier panels can be quickly and easily assembled to provide complete or partial walls for utilities, transportation/highways, cooling towers, chillers, condensers, rooftop equipment and residential noise barriers. Sound barrier wall panels are designed to be easily erected in the field and are also designed to provide optimum noise control through sound absorption and sound transmission loss and structural stability.
Utilities
Electrical sub-stations which contain transformers, generators, etc. cause unwanted noise and at times can be unpleasant to view. They can be treated with our barrier walls systems which reduce the unwanted noise to acceptable levels. The walls are more aesthetically pleasing when treated with a coating system to match the surrounding areas.
Transportation/Highways
Noise from traveling motorists on major highways/interstates, airport areas, and railways are effectively reduced using our reflective or absorptive barrier wall systems.
Rooftop Equipment
Chillers, Condensers, Cooling Towers, etc. are equipment which can cause unwanted noise for surrounding residential and business communities. Our barrier wall systems can be constructed to reduce the noise to acceptable levels in these working or living environments.
Residential Noise Compliance
Most neighborhoods have a strict compliance that should be maintained for hearing protection as well as comfort levels. Our barrier panels can be used for shopping malls, schools, recreational facilities, parks and many other outdoor applications that may need noise control.
