Noise reduction

ScanVibra provides recommendations on all relevant noise reducing measures:

■ Resilient mountings for engines, machinery and equipment
■ Low-noise propellers & propeller noise reduction
■ Selection of low-noise machinery and equipment
■ Floating floors and other noise reducing deck coverings
■ Insulation
■ Visco-elastic damping
■ Silencers etc. for ventilation and HVAC
■ Acoustic enclosures
■ Exhaust silencers
■ Low-noise accommodation design
■ Room-to-room sound insulation (e.g. in way of noisy rooms)
■ Low impact noise (e.g. noise from steps on overhead decks)
■ Etc.

Some noise reducing measures are straightforward and may be readily laid down. However, the experienced review is always important in order to spot problems - or risk of problems - and introduce the appropriate precautions.

Recommendations include design principles, selection of components and materials, and when necessary detail review and analysis of critical major items.
