Most productive tasks cause acoustic contamination, so it is essential to soundproof, implementing actions to control noise in the industry.
Industrial production centres are usually located on the outskirts, separated from the town centre, thus avoiding noise nuisance. However, there are factories in urban areas, thus generating noise levels that must be controlled in both cases.
The current environmental regulations must be complied in order to reduce noise contamination. Creating healthy work environments and controlling excess noise which can cause stress, mood swings, hearing loss and poor performance.
According to the industrial sector and their characteristics, it can be solved in different ways :
- With efficient protection equipment for each worker, thus reducing overall noise.
- Soundproofing the machinery or reducing the noise it produces. Using isolation and sound-absorbing material, screens and acoustic panels.
- Studying the noise levels inside the factory, using panels made of sound-absorbing materials, screens and acoustic baffles, to reduce noise.
- Expanding the Factory and including sound absorption in the design of the building.
A customized analysis is needed to give the best solutions in each case and reduce noise as much as possible.
