Machines - Sound Level Reduction

Reducing machines sound level

Sound levels from machines can be reduced with barriers or enclosures as indicated below:

sound level reduction of machines

Enclosure Sound Level Reduction
(dBA)
1 No enclosure or barrier, machine alone 0
2 Machine on vibration isolators ≈ 2
3 Machine with barrier ≈ 5
4 Machine in a rigid and sealed enclosure ≈ 20 - 25
5 Machine in a rigid and sealed enclosure with sound absorption lining on inside walls - machine on vibration isolators ≈ 40 - 45
