Acoustical Products Made in USA.
Power generation and oil manufacturing plants rely on large gas turbines to produce electricity for industrial and municipal energy grids. These turbines operate continuously during peak production cycles and generate extremely high sound levels due to combustion systems, airflow turbines, and generator equipment. During normal operation, sound levels near turbine units frequently reach 100–110 dB, making them one of the loudest pieces of equipment in power generation environments. Without proper containment, this sound spreads throughout the facility and can affect both workers and nearby communities.
High turbine noise levels create serious operational challenges inside power plants. Workers performing maintenance or monitoring control systems must communicate clearly while standing near turbine equipment. However, excessive background noise can make verbal communication difficult and increase fatigue during long shifts. Facilities often look for industrial noise barrier walls and power plant noise barrier walls to control this equipment noise.
Installing SilenCore® Metal Wall Panel Systems provides a highly effective solution for containing turbine noise. These acoustic metal wall panels function as soundproof metal wall panels designed specifically for heavy industrial environments. Built with double wall acoustic metal panels, the system absorbs and blocks sound energy while maintaining structural strength and durability.
The panels act as industrial sound barrier wall panels that reduce noise transmission from turbines before it spreads across the facility. Because they function as metal acoustic barrier panels, they significantly improve sound transmission loss panels performance in power generation environments. Their durable construction also allows them to serve as weather resistant acoustic wall panels suitable for outdoor installations.
After installing SilenCore® Metal Wall Panel Systems, many power plants reduce turbine noise levels by 20–35 dBA, bringing sound levels from 105–110 dB down to approximately 70–75 dB in surrounding work zones. This improvement greatly enhances worker safety, communication, and environmental compliance.
