6 articles covering noise control in acoustic engineering and building design.
What is Acoustic Zoning? Organising Spaces by Noise Sensitivity
Acoustic zoning groups building areas by noise sensitivity and output, separating loud from quiet functions. Learn zoning principles, buffer strategies, and how building codes require it.
What is Noise Path Analysis? Tracing Sound from Source to Receiver
Noise path analysis identifies every route sound takes from a source to a receiver — direct, flanking, airborne, and structure-borne. Learn the method, ISO 12354, and how it drives cost-effective fixes.
Data Center Noise Control — Server Room Acoustics & Worker Safety | AcousPlan
Data center noise control: server fan noise levels of 75–95 dBA, OSHA/NIOSH exposure limits, acoustic enclosures, hot/cold aisle considerations, and worker protection strategies.
Industrial Noise Control — Enclosures, Barriers & Worker Protection | AcousPlan
Industrial noise reduction: source treatment, path treatment, and receiver protection. Barrier insertion loss, enclosure TL calculation, OSHA and HSE requirements.
ASHRAE HVAC Noise Control: Handbook Chapter Summary for Acoustic Designers
ASHRAE HVAC Applications Chapter 49 is the authoritative guide for mechanical noise control in buildings. This summary covers RC/NC curve criteria, duct noise calculation, equipment selection, and silencer design for acoustic designers.
Building Acoustics vs Room Acoustics: What's the Difference?
Building acoustics blocks sound between rooms using mass and decoupling (STC/Rw). Room acoustics controls sound within a room using absorption (RT60/C80). Here is when you need each, how they interact, and the standards that govern them.
