Low-frequency noise nuisance, such as low hums and buzzes, is found in industry but heat pumps, compressors, fans and speakers also make low-frequency noise and can often be heard from miles away. This can cause a lot of nuisance. The solution often lies in both sound absorption but also sound insulation. In such situations, Soundblox are the ideal solution due to their excellent performance in absorbing precisely those low frequencies.
Sound absorbing materials, in most cases, actually absorb sound in the high frequencies. Absorbing low frequencies is actually more difficult because of the larger sound waves produced by low-frequency sounds.
Soundblox have the advantage that they actually have an excellent performance in absorbing sound in the low frequencies because of the helmet cavity resonators in which the sound is absorbed and loses its energy. This effect is increased by the possible use of sound absorbing panels of mineral wool or durable cellulose or cotton fiber material in various thicknesses and densities that affect the degree of absorption in special frequency ranges. This acoustic performance can be demonstrated through acoustic measurement sheets.
For this reason, Soundblox are gladly used in factories and machine rooms but also along railroads and highways, transformer rooms, at heat pumps and further indoor and outdoor applications.
Soundblox are also excellent for use in areas with extreme temperatures, such as at Tata Steel in IJmuiden, where Soundblox have been applied in a room with a constant temperature of 60°C.Soundblox are also liked in rooms with extremely humid conditions (remember pools) or where aggressive materials are handled.
Soundblox are sound-absorbing acoustic concrete masonry blocks specifically designed for acoustic climate control in any room, both indoor and outdoor applications.
