HVAC system noise can be distracting and interfere with daily activities. Proper acoustic treatment can help control both system noise and crosstalk.
Continuous or intermittent noise from an HVAC system can be distracting as well as disruptive. While mechanical engineers focus on a system delivering proper airflow, acoustic performance is often ignored.
When determining if an HVAC system requires additional attenuation, two noise paths must be considered; noise that travels through both the supply and return duct system paths, and “breakout” noise that travels through the walls of the ductwork into neighboring spaces.
Airborne noise in an HVAC system is attenuated with the addition of duct silencers, and breakout noise is attenuated with the addition of a dense duct lagging material wrapped around the outside of the ductwork to increase the STC of the duct walls.
Key Considerations for controlling HVAC noise include:
