Noise reduction strategy update for hand tool manufacturer

Industrial plants in many industries face noise problems at workplaces. Noise assessment for jobs that are characterised by very high variability and low repeatability requires a thorough analysis of the subject. An example of this type of workplaces are those where manual work equipment is repaired and tested.

The client’s objective was to assess the noise at the workstations and also to predict the noise levels at a new hall where similar activities are to be carried out. A noise reduction strategy was developed for both the current hall and the planned hall.

To reduce noise, it is proposed to replace the blow-off nozzles with quieter, customized  quiet workstations and to adaptation of the interior of the hall with acoustics panels.

The project was composed by 1 project manager and 1 acoustic specialists.

Software used on the project included Odeon, NoiseImage and MicrosoftOffice.
