Acoustic design of soundproofing systems for industrial machines

Soundproofing of machinery

Many machines have a noise emission largest of 80 dB (A) at the workplace and therefore carry a risk of moise exposure for workers; the demands of the market are to be more and more towards a noise level less than this threshold, thus the...
