Many commercial and industrial facilities rely on large outdoor mechanical systems to maintain building operations. Equipment such as chillers, cooling towers, compressors, ventilation fans, and refrigeration systems are commonly installed in outdoor service yards or rooftop mechanical areas. These systems often run continuously and can generate sound levels between 75–85 dB(A) during normal operation.
Because mechanical equipment is often located outdoors, the sound can travel freely across open spaces. Without proper sound barriers, the humming of compressors, the airflow noise from cooling towers, and the vibration from pumps can spread into nearby offices, restaurants, residential buildings, or public walkways.
Employees working in nearby offices may notice the constant mechanical noise throughout the day, especially if their workspaces are located near windows or outdoor seating areas. Even though the sound may not always be extremely loud, its continuous presence can become distracting over time and reduce workplace comfort.
Installing the MassiCore® Vinyl Fence Acoustic Barrier System around outdoor equipment yards provides an effective way to contain this noise. This acoustic fence barrier surrounds mechanical equipment with dense sound-blocking material that prevents airborne sound from spreading across the property. By adding mass and redirecting sound waves upward, the barrier significantly reduces the noise reaching surrounding spaces.
With MassiCore® Vinyl Fence Acoustic Barrier Systems, outdoor mechanical equipment noise can often be reduced from 80–85 dB(A) to approximately 60–65 dB(A) in nearby areas. This improvement helps create quieter commercial environments while allowing essential building systems to continue operating efficiently.
