An improvement in the acoustics at AAE: from challenge to solution
In industrial environments, where machines run continuously and employees work intensively, good acoustics play a crucial role in both comfort and safety. This was also evident at AAE, a specialist in high-tech custom machinery, where the acoustic conditions posed a challenge. In the production hall of AAE, poor acoustics caused significant problems. Sound bounced back from all directions, leading to a diffuse sound environment. This not only limited work comfort but also jeopardised safety. The average reverberation time was as much as 4.27 seconds, making the working conditions unpleasant and risky.
The solution
To improve this situation, we partnered with our parent company EASY Noise Control to install EASYindustry Ceiling and EASYindustry Wall panels. These acoustic products are specifically designed for industrial environments and provide excellent sound absorption.
The project required customisation:
- The installation took place while the production hall remained operational.
- Cherry pickers were used to safely and accurately install panels over the machines.
Thanks to a careful approach and the high-quality products from EASY Noise Control, the installation was successfully and efficiently carried out.
The result
After the installation, the reverberation time has been significantly reduced to 2.32 seconds, an improvement of over 45%. This has resulted in:
- Better working comfort and communication.
- Safer working conditions for employees.
The client is very pleased with the result and appreciates the positive impact on the work environment. Thanks to the adjusted acoustics, AAE can now focus even better on their core activities and delivering high-quality solutions to their customers.
This project illustrates how we, in collaboration with EASY Noise Control, transform challenges in industrial acoustics into measurable improvements for our customers.
