Factory and production-facility sound insulation is a holistic acoustic engineering service that addresses both worker health (OSH) and environmental compliance in industrial spaces with multiple noise sources. Combined enclosures, acoustic screens, suspended baffles and silencers bring workplace dB below 75 dBA; environmental limits (45 dBA at night) are met.
What is factory acoustics?
Factory acoustics is the discipline that uses engineering methods to control multi-source, high-level, broadband-noise environments produced by production lines. Unlike single-equipment insulation, line layout, workplace ergonomics, environmental limits and production flow are considered together.
Typical factory noise sources
- Press and ram (impact, 100-110 dBA)
- CNC machine (cutting, 85-95 dBA)
- Conveyor line (friction, 75-85 dBA)
- Industrial boiler / furnace (continuous, 80-90 dBA)
- Textile loom (high frequency, 85-95 dBA)
- Filling line (mechanical, 80-90 dBA)
- Compressor and fan (continuous background)
Holistic acoustic analysis process
- Site map: all noise sources are recorded.
- Acoustic measurement: dB at workstations and boundary points.
- Simulation: sound map modelled with ODEON / SoundPLAN.
- Prioritisation: most disturbing source and most critical workspace identified.
- Multi-solution design: enclosure + screen + suspended baffle + silencer combination.
- Phased application: divided into weekly stages without disrupting production.
- Final measurement: achievement at all points documented.
Solution combinations
- Equipment acoustic enclosure: for critical noise sources
- Acoustic curtain / partition: line separation
- Suspended baffle (vertical): tall industrial volumes — vertical absorbers
- Cloud panel: upper acoustics of work areas
- Air-duct silencer: HVAC and exhaust
- Worker PPE: in 80+ dBA zones
OSH compliance
Per the Turkish Occupational Health & Safety Regulation: above 80 dBA is the warning level, 85 dBA the action level, 87 dBA the limit. Acoustic intervention brings these under control; otherwise the employer carries legal liability.
Environmental compliance
If a residential area is near the factory, Environmental Noise Regulation limits 45-55 dBA apply. We measure and report both the indoor workplace and the outdoor boundary points.
Lead time and phasing
Factory projects vary 4-12 weeks; phased to avoid disrupting production. A typical furniture factory 6 weeks, food filling 4 weeks, cement plant up to 10 weeks.
Certificates
All acoustic materials are EN 13501-1 fire class and EN ISO 11820 site-measurement test compliant.
