Call us.<br><br> We think you'll find doing business with us is a rewarding experience. Solving Noise Problems Using Kinetics Noise Control Products and Systems Noise is generally defined as unwanted sound. Atypical noise control problem includes three basic components: the noise source (machines, fans, pumps, processes etc.); the receiver (persons subjected to the noise); and the path (the route the noise travels between the source and the receiver indoors or outdoors).<br><br> Noise exists in two forms: airborne and structure-borne. Airborne noise travels from a source to a receiver as a differential in atmospheric pressure and can travel in all directions. Structure-borne noise is unwanted vibration, which is transmitted from a vibrating source to a receiver through a solid material and regenerated as airborne noise.<br><br> Once the source, path and receiver have been identified, four tools are used to control the unwanted noise. These tools are: absorption, barriers (blocking), damping and vibration isolation. The representative Kinetics independently tested products used to control these noise types are presented in this brochure.<br><br> Barriers reduce airborne noise transmission. Barrier effectiveness is dependent on barrier mass, properties associated with stiffness, and the environment or structural surroundings. High-quality Kinetics barriers are fabricated from transparent or opaque limp, mass-loaded vinyl.<br><br> When placed between the source and the receiver they offer high transmission loss. Mass ranges: 0.5 to 2 PSF, (2.5 to 9.8 kg/cm2). BARRIERS BARRIERS Model KNM Barrier Material Kinetics Model KNM mass-loaded vinyl barrier materials are available in reinforced or unreinforced construction.<br><br> They are used for enclosing noise sources by draping around equipment, suspending between equipment and quiet areas, or lagging to the equipment casings. KNM barrier materials can be used effectively to lag piping systems, reducing valves, etc., and are highly effective as crosstalk barriers and septums. KNM materials are available in 1/2 psf to 1 psf (2.5 to 4.9 kg/m2), in 54" wide x 20-yard (1372 mm x 18.2 m) rolls, with acoustical ratings of STC-21 to STC-27.<br><br> Model KNM-100AL& ALQ Pipe and Duct Lag 1 PSF (4.9 kg/m2) barrier with a reinforced alu- minized facing.
