NOISE CONTROL COLUTIONS
Proven acoustic systems enginned for Department of Safety
noise control reduce sound exposure in regulated workplaces,
including industrial facilities, production floors, and mechanical
equipment areas, supporting hearing conservation, safety
compliance, and worker protection.
ALL NOISE CONTROL
High sound levels remain a persistent concern in regulated workplaces where heavy machinery and building systems operate continuously. In industrial facilities, on production floors, and within mechanical equipment areas, noise from compressors, generators, pumps, and processing equipment can increase workplace sound exposure and create long-term risks. Implementing Department of Safety noise control strategies supports measurable exposure reduction, strengthens hearing conservation programs, and reinforces safety compliance initiatives designed to protect personnel.
Unmanaged industrial noise can interfere with communication, reduce situational awareness, and place additional strain on employees working near high-output equipment. To address these challenges, All Noise Control provides engineered acoustic panels, barrier systems, and noise mitigation assemblies developed for demanding industrial conditions. By integrating sound absorption and sound blocking technologies, these solutions help stabilize sound levels at the source and along transmission paths—enhancing worker protection, improving operational efficiency, and supporting compliance in environments subject to Department of Safety guidelines.
COMMON NOISE PROBLEMS IN SAFETY-REGULATED FACILITIES
All Noise Control’s Solution:
Â
Â
Industrial compressors and generators commonly produce 90–110+ dBA, with larger units reaching levels that can exceed OSHA and Department of Safety exposure thresholds during full-shift operation. Sustained sound at these levels increases the safety risk for workers stationed nearby and places added pressure on supervisors responsible for managing occupational sound exposure. This system helps reduce dBA levels at the source while maintaining proper airflow and equipment functionality, lowering overall exposure and creating a safer operating environment.
Â
Â
Training rooms positioned near active production areas can experience background levels of 60–75 dBA, especially when adjacent floors operate at 90–100+ dBA. At these levels, instructors must raise their voices, reducing clarity and increasing the safety risk of miscommunication during critical training sessions. Installing acoustic ceiling tile systems helps absorb overhead reflections and limit noise infiltration, improving speech intelligibility and creating a safer, more effective learning environment.
Â
Â
Nearby production equipment operating at 95–105 dBA can expose open operator stations to 80–95 dBA, increasing fatigue and reducing concentration during critical monitoring tasks. Sustained exposure at these levels raises safety risks for operators responsible for overseeing machinery and responding to alerts. Installing vinyl acoustic barrier systems helps block airborne sound transmission between equipment zones and control areas, lowering overall exposure and creating a safer, more focused work environment.
Industrial facilities frequently encounter persistent workplace noise hazards driven by heavy equipment, stamping presses, compressors, and continuous production lines that generate sustained levels of 90–100+ dBA. Under OSHA and Department of Safety regulations, the 85 dBA (8-hour TWA) Action Level requires formal hearing protection programs, and the 90 dBA (8-hour TWA) Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) establishes the maximum allowable daily exposure. As sound levels increase, allowable exposure time decreases — 95 dBA is limited to approximately 4 hours, and impulse noise must not exceed 140 dB peak. When employees remain near active machinery for full shifts, cumulative occupational sound exposure often exceeds these regulatory sound limits, placing operations at risk of non-compliance.
Large, open environments further complicate control efforts. Poor industrial acoustics allow reverberation to amplify ambient noise, increasing overall exposure beyond equipment ratings alone. Reflected sound from concrete floors, steel decking, and hard wall surfaces can raise background levels and make it difficult to maintain safe sound thresholds, particularly when loud machinery operates close to occupied work zones. This cumulative exposure not only impacts worker well-being but also increases the difficulty of maintaining effective hearing protection programs.
Addressing elevated sound exposure levels requires proactive mitigation strategies like machinery sound enclosures that reduce transmission at the source and manage reverberation throughout the space. Implementing engineered solutions such as acoustic enclosures, acoustic wall panels for regulated facilities, sound barrier systems, absorption treatments, and modular acoustic control systems from All Noise Control can significantly lower overall dBA levels, helping facilities bring workplace noise hazards back within acceptable thresholds while aligning operations with OSHA compliance and Department of Safety expectations.
SAFETY-REGULATED FACILITIES ACOUSTIC PROBLEMS
Â
Pipe & Duct Noise Control System
Â
Mechanical systems and high-CFM airflow equipment often operate at 75–95 dBA, and vibration can carry sound through ductwork into surrounding areas at 60–75 dBA. Sustained exposure at these levels increases fatigue and may contribute to cumulative occupational sound exposure for workers stationed nearby. Installing acoustic duct wrap systems helps reduce vibration and mechanical noise transmission, lowering overall dBA levels and creating a safer environment for employees in adjacent workspaces.
Â
Acoustic Wall & Blanket System
Â
Production machinery commonly operates at 90–110+ dBA, and nearby employees often experience 85–100 dBA during full shifts—levels that increase hearing risk and reduce situational awareness on the floor. Sustained exposure at these levels can mask verbal warnings and elevate overall safety concerns for workers and supervisors. Installing acoustic wall and blanket systems helps surround equipment, absorb and block industrial noise at the source, and lower dBA levels to create a safer, more controlled production environment.
Â
Â
Background levels of 80–95 dBA can mask speech and prevent workers from clearly hearing verbal warnings, instructions, or emergency alerts—especially when machinery operates continuously nearby. At these levels, employees often must shout at close range, increasing the safety risk of miscommunication and delayed response. Installing acoustic wall panel systems helps absorb reflected sound, lower ambient dBA levels, and improve communication accuracy and overall workplace awareness.
