The Hidden Truth About Noise Control

Think noise barriers are the ultimate solution? Research from Colorado State University revealed that even 9-meter-high acoustic walls failed to bring drilling and hydraulic fracturing noise below residential limits.

The problem is low-frequency noise—rumble below 125 Hz that barriers can’t stop. Communities still hear it, regulators still measure it, and companies still face complaints.

Why This Matters for Operators

For industries like oil & gas, offshore platforms, renewable energy, and heavy construction, noise is more than a nuisance—it’s a safety and compliance risk.

Without effective control, you face:

• Costly regulatory fines and project delays.
• Ongoing community complaints and reputational damage.
• Increased safety risks for workers exposed to harmful noise and vibration.

Even when barriers are installed, many operators discover their investment doesn’t solve the problem.

Beyond Walls: Smarter Acoustic Engineering

At Acoustic Solutions, we don’t just put up walls—we design end-to-end strategies to actually reduce noise and vibration at the source. Our solutions include:

• Noise prediction & propagation modeling → anticipate risks before they escalate.
• AIV/FIV diagnostics → prevent fatigue failures in piping systems.
• Tailored acoustic design & material selection → ensure compliance, comfort, and clarity.
• Sustainable approaches → combining efficiency with eco-friendly practices.

Instead of fighting symptoms, we engineer sustainable, measurable solutions that keep your projects on track and your stakeholders satisfied.

Who Benefits Most

Our expertise is built for decision-makers in industries where noise and vibration can’t be ignored:

• Oil & Gas Operators – onshore and offshore drilling, fracturing, and production.
• Maritime & Offshore – shipyards, vessel operators, offshore living quarters.
• Renewable Energy – wind farms, hydro plants, solar facilities.
• Construction & Building – developers, architects, contractors.
• Industrial Facilities – factories and plants with machinery noise challenges.

Ready to Turn Down the Noise?

Noise is not just about compliance—it’s about protecting people, performance, and reputation. Barriers alone won’t solve low-frequency rumble. But with the right acoustic partner, you can achieve a safer, quieter, and more efficient operation.
