You may be able to hear the distinction between high and low-frequency noise, but do you understand how they are different scientifically? Frequency, which is measured in hertz (Hz), refers to the number of times per second that a sound wave repeats itself. When sound waves encounter an object, they can either be absorbed and […] A Guide to Material Testing for Acoustical and Thermal Treatments Acoustic and thermal product solutions play a vital role in a wide range of systems and structures. By absorbing, blocking, and isolating sound and heat, they help keep equipment and equipment users safe. Given their important function, it is essential to verify that they work as intended before using them. That’s why, like many other […] Our Commitment to Your Success Becoming North America’s leading producer of OEM acoustic and thermal solutions isn’t only about top-quality products, it’s also about top-notch customer service, innovation, and quality products.

We have the ability to adapt to your needs to ensure you have everything you need, whether […] There’s More To NRC Ratings, Damping Coefficient, and SAA Ratings Than You Think When choosing the right thermal insulation or acoustic material for a particular application, there are many factors to consider, such as the NRC rating, SAA rating, and damping coefficient. Although these measurements give important information, it’s also important to consider aspects such as temperature and humidity when selecting materials and gauging their performance. At Technicon […] Thermal Insulation for Portable and Standby Generators For many applications, thermal insulation is an important feature to have in portable and standby generators. Sufficient thermal insulation offers numerous benefits, including reduced energy costs, protection for workers, and increased longevity of equipment. To meet your heat insulation needs, we offer top-of-the-line Tech Shield™ and Tech Shield Sleeve™ solutions to keep your systems and workers protected. Importance of […] Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH): What You Need to Know The extraneous sound and vibration are more than just an annoyance for people who work around noisy machinery. Excess equipment noise creates a perception of low quality that can decrease the perceived value of an OEM’s product. Noise and vibration are first and foremost bothersome, but it can also cause underlying issues of increased wear and tear, ultimately leading to shorter equipment life. These results have detrimental effects on the marketability of the […] Tags: Noise Vibration Harshness, NVH Q&A With Our Experts: Noise & Thermal Solutions for Rail/Mass Transit Some of our experts at Technicon Acoustics joined Modus Advanced to discuss our acoustic and thermal solutions for Rail/Mass Transit.

As such, it is essential to understand the differences between the two terms to ensure you select the right type of noise reduction product for your application. In this blog post, we explore the differences between sound absorption […] Tags: Noise Reduction, Sound Absorption, soundproofing The Importance of Acoustic Material in Sound Enclosures Commercial power generators, air compressors, and other industrial equipment make a lot of noise. To counter loud noise levels, OEMs attempt to contain the disruptive sounds with an enclosure. Enclosures are supposed to trap sound waves so they don’t affect the ambient environment. Unfortunately, most traditional sound enclosures are less effective than the industry commonly thinks. […] Tags: Acoustic Absorbers, Acoustic Barriers, acoustic enclosure, Air Compressors, Power Generation Polyester Fiber vs. Melamine Foam: Which Is the Better Option? For acoustic and thermal insulation applications, one of the most commonly utilized materials is melamine foam insulation. While it demonstrates adequate sound absorption and thermal insulation characteristics, there is an alternative material solution that offers more effective and efficient performance for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) needs—polyester fiber insulation. The following blog post provides a comparison […] Tags: melamine foam, polyester fiber Page 1 of 41234» Recent Posts High vs Low-Frequency Noise: What’s the Difference?
