The Challenge: Fixing Noise Without Rebuilding

Many Illinois facilities were built before modern acoustic standards. Today, equipment like compressors, turbines, and generators operate at 90–110 dB, creating low-frequency noise that spreads across the plant.

The problem isn’t just noise—it’s constraints:

• Fixed layouts and limited space
• Active operations (no shutdowns)
• Existing walls that weren’t built for sound control

Standard insulation fails because:

• It reduces echo—not transmission
• Low-frequency noise passes through structures

The Solution: Add Mass, Not Complexity

Instead of rebuilding, retrofit systems focus on upgrading existing structures.

MassiCore® Marine 135 (ANC-MB135)

• 2 lb mass loaded vinyl barrier for high-density blocking
• Effective for low-frequency industrial noise
• Flexible for walls, enclosures, or machinery areas
• Installs without major structural changes

How It’s Applied

• Installed directly onto existing walls and enclosures
• Integrated into layered wall systems
• Used for localized equipment containment
• Fully sealed to block transmission paths

Creates a continuous acoustic barrier system without disrupting operations.

How do you reduce noise in an existing industrial facility?

●      Install a mass loaded vinyl acoustic barrier

●      Cover walls, enclosures, and equipment areas

●      Seal all gaps to stop transmission
