Product Noise Reduction

The product noise specialists in Acentech's RH Lyon division know that a quiet product will be well positioned to compete in the global marketplace. And we know that the best approach to quieting a product is by applying engineering principles -- not by just adding costly materials. Whether you are designing a new product or re-engineering an existing one, our team can help you to create a product which is not only quieter, but sounds better, is more efficient, and often less costly to produce. Furthermore, we are sensitive to the issue of sound quality, assuring that this attribute is not compromised.

We help our clients by providing design guidelines, analyzing design choices and evaluating and/or specifying layouts and components. With an existing product, the "quieting" process begins with a method we call the noise audit. During the noise audit, we identify and quantify the sources, paths and radiators of noise (and/or vibration). Armed with this information, we can offer cost/benefit scenarios based on the relevant noise sources. With close client interaction, and with sensitivity to manufacturability and cost/per unit, we can then implement, test and evaluate these product noise reduction solutions. Our engineering expertise extends to heat transfer, fluid flow, and electrodynamics, giving us the breadth to design mufflers and impellers, determine heat loss, or modify noise inducing electrical circuitry.

We consult on product noise for consumer products, medical devices, power tools, office equipment, lawn/garden equipment, and more. Our product noise services include:

• Noise and vibration reduction
• Noise and vibration audits
• Noise "audits"
• Design guidelines and analysis
• Evaluation/specification of components and layouts
• Cost/benefit analysis
• Implementation and testing
• Efficiency improvements
• Analytical modeling and simulation
• Sound quality analysis
