Over the past 5 years, Gerber Products Headquarters in Freemont, Michigan has been contacting All Noise Control to provide a solution for privacy issues in their commercial office space in the headquarter building. Noise was traveling in and out of office units that required soundproofing solutions to improve office noise quality and especially privacy. In 2005 All Noise Control was proud to acquire Gerber as a new customer by offering them the ideal solution that fit within their budget and solved their needs. Since 2005 Gerber has been placing orders for Vinyl Barrier with All Noise Control for their soundproofing needs.

Noise Absorption Sound absorbers are soft, porous, open-celled materials such as foam sheets or fiberglass blankets and baffles that reduce the reflection of sound waves. Their sound absorption efficiency is rated by a “NRC” number – Noice Reduction Coefficient*. The HIGHER the NRC rating, the more EFFICIENT the product is at absorbing noise.
*NRC is a sound absorption rating. It measures a percentage of how much sound will not be reflected back from where it came. Based on a range from .05 to 1.0, where a NRC of 1.0 means that all the sound energy that hits that product passes through it and does not “bounce” back to its source. A NRC of .60 would reflect 40% of the sound back to the source and let 60% of the noise pass through it.

At one of Boeing’s Arizona facilities they had an on-going sound problem between work areas and office areas. These types of problems typically effect the tangent office areas in multiple ways including loss of productivity and danger of constant sound levels.

While it’s goal is to produce powerful, quiet and reliable machines, the manufacturing facility in Round Rock Texas produces considerable noise. The absorption of this noise in the facility is typically needed to improve the overall working conditions for the workers. This reduces strai on the, improves productivity and ensures all around a healthier work environment. Retrotting an acoustic solution into a busy facility also is a factor.

Customer called All Noise Control to help them solve their noise control issues in their gym. After discussing their application, All Noise Control provided them with a solution of Acoustical Ceiling Baffles 4×2′ for their application.
The order was placed by Pearson Education they installed their Ceiling Baffles and were very satisfied with our product and service. They would highly recomend All Noise Control.

Question:
STC means how well the product stops or blocks sound from getting into or out of the room. Is noise absorption the level of noise that is generated from within the area that bounces off the material/wall? I want to make sure I understand the difference between them. Also, which one is more important to people?

Noise Absorption and Acoustic Problems with Noise within Houses of Worship
Houses of Worship acoustics require special attention and knowledge to the nuances of voluminous spaces, hard surfaces, especially in the new architectural designs of today’s buildings. This excessive space is wonderfully impressive but allows for significant reverberation, which we are familiar with as echoes. Reverberation can reduce speech legibility and can make otherwise good church sound systems sound awkward. Imagine your ear being bombarded with an array of sounds at different decibels repeatedly served in waves. These sound waves maintain a surprising amount of energy and continue on absorbing and interfering with other sound waves.

The following was posted by a visitor and since it’s a common question I thought it would be beneficial to everyone to share some solutions.
Kerri –
I own a daycare center and noise is a very big problem. Our design is open so there are no walls. We are looking for a noise control solution and are not sure where to start. How do I determine how much noise control I need or what products are likely to have a marked impact on the noise levels?

Another post by a visitor that will be sure to help anyone in shared commercial spaces with noise coming in from adjoined spaces which is a typical situation found in commercial and retail spaces
We are a massage therapy business and need to block the noise coming through the walls and across the drop ceiling from the business next door, which has loud screaming children and music.
Which would be the most effective way to block the noise, on their side of the wall or on our walls? Both sides of ceilings?
We need absoulte quiet for our business.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated!?
Thank you,?

Question:
I need to reduce the noise level reaching a residence located approximately 150 feet from an industrial metal stamping plant. The plant external wall is standard cement block. Would it be feasible to fill the cement block cores with a sound absorbing foam that could be sprayed in as a semi-liquid? I also am interested in applying material inside this plant wall to further reduce the external noise situation. What are the range of choices vs. cost?
Thanks for any help you can provide ….
