Acoustic correction of a school canteen
- Details
Whether it is a kindergarten or a primary school, a school canteen is a place where the noise level can commonly reach - or even exceed - 80 dB (A), what causes a major discomfort and a fatigue for the children as well as for the personnel of service and supervision.
In many cases, sound-reflecting hard surfaces constitute the limits of the rooms (floor, walls and partitions, ceiling or sub-roof), and, among the materials commonly used for the construction of such spaces, few are sufficiently...
Construction of a silent power station
- Details
In a power station, noise is not inevitable. Even when electricity production is based on the use of combustion turbines, which are noise sources of very high (acoustic) power, solutions exist to limit the sound impact of the various equipment necessary for the proper operation of such a plant.
Enclosures reduce the noise radiated by the body of the turbomachines, while silencers allow to prevent the propagation of noise through the openings provided for the ventilation of soundproof buildings...
Soundproofing of a production line
- Details
In a workshop related to metal processing, a production line constitutes a source of noise which, if one neglects its soundproofing, places in a situation of auditory trauma a number of workers much greater than that corresponding only to the operators directly dedicated to the conduction of the line in question.
Indeed, for a machines such as a press or a lath (a fortiori: if combined e.g. for metal machining works), noise emissions can be so high that they are likely to impact very large...
