Noise & Acoustical solutions in today’s homes are increasing common. Especially in apartments, condo’s & townhouses where shared walls are present. While it may be thought of as a luxury, there are several products used in soundproofing a home which are very cost-effective, attainable and simple to install. Some of the specific problems addressed in homes, town houses and condos include unwanted noise coming through common walls, such as noisy neighbors, and footfall or impact noise coming from above. These are divided into airborne sound and impact sound. Whatever the sound, sound barriers, soundproofing material and sound isolation material by All Noise Control can significantly reduce and stop all noise.

MOCA – the famous Museum of Contemporary Art in Florida had acoustic problems typical in large spaces. Volume & open spaces, with large flat surfaces are ideal settings for echo, reverberation and other acoustic problems. Visitors could hear whispers across the room making private conversation difficult. MOCA required an absorption material that was aesthetically pleasing and non-distracting – to essentially stop the sound and allow the art to stand out. They needed to absorb the sound bouncing off the ceiling, floor and walls that travelled from exhibit to exhibit, while not interfering or distracting from the artwork displayed. Our ANC-3000 Acoustical Wall Panels was an ideal candidate. It can stand up to high traffic areas while not wearing, is Class A fire rated and available in 48 fabric Guilford colors.

Wayne from Barvista homes called All Noise Control provided them with a solution to block sound transmission for privacy between condominium walls. All Noise control offered the solution of 1# 1/8″ Vinyl Sound Barrier (VB-60)

Guide to Sound Isolation and Noise Control
It starts with a simple question, “How can I stop noise from going through this wall?” We have the answer, and it usually involves patching noise leaks in the floor, ceiling joists, windows, and vibrating structures that carry sound waves through solid material.

4 ways to achieve effective noise reduction:
Sound Insulation. With this approach to noise control, the goal is to introduce a solid barrier to the environment that helps lessen the reverberation of the sound waves. Much like the insulation of a house helps keeps warm air in and cold air out (and vice versa depending on the seasons), this approach effectively mitigates the transference of sound within a defined area by adding materials which block the transfer of sound waves. High-density materials such as concrete, steel, and stone are often used in this application because of they are difficult to penetrate.

The term “noise control” refers to both active and passive methods of mitigating unwanted sound in the environment. There are a number of reasons why noise control is an important consideration in both business and private settings, including personal well-being, environmental concerns and legislative issues. However, before proper noise control solutions can be implemented, it is first necessary to determine the source and the underlying causes behind its existence. Once this has been determined, it is then possible to establish an appropriate means of circumventing further problems.

It was getting pretty hot at the Port-land, Maine Museum of Art. Director ofFacilities, Kevin Eames, decided that the best way to improve the efficiency of themuseum’s air conditioning system wouldbe to install a new rotary screw chiller.The problem was that it had to be placedin the same location as the older, quieterunit, a maintenance workshop spacemeasuring about 15’ x 40’.

Within the walls of Syracuse Research Center in NY, there’s quite a bit of information. For any research facility privacy is always a concern and a goal. This goal became achievable once Syracuse Research Center connected with All Noise Control.

Educational facilities always have acoustic problems to solve. Whether it’s multi-purpose rooms, gymnasiums or sports centers, theaters, auditorium’s or music and band rooms, there’s a lot of noise in the educational industry. University of Michigan needed to find harmony in their frequently used band room. With the array of instrutments, varity of noise levels and active students, the sound in their band room has serious reverberation problems. Another major contributing factor in these types of rooms are the construction materials, most often exposed concrete which offers a disadvantage by promoting reverberation, echo and distortion of sound.
