Acoustic Study
At Simplify we offer a comprehensive range of acoustic analysis services to address noise control and sound quality challenges across various applications. With 15 years of experience providing Acoustic Analysis Services to sectors such as building, infrastructure, data centers, oil and gas, defense, and water treatment plants, we leverage our extensive experience and state-of-the-art technology to help clients achieve their performance goals and maintain competitive advantages.
Our expertise ensures optimal performance, comfort, and compliance with regulatory standards. For cooling towers, we identify and analyze primary noise sources, including fans, water flow, and mechanical equipment, recommending mitigation measures like sound barriers, acoustic enclosures, and damping materials to reduce emissions and ensure compliance with local and international regulations.
In chiller yards, we conduct detailed vibration and noise analysis, offering recommendations to optimize performance while minimizing noise and vibration for efficient and quiet operation
Sealing gaps and cracks around electrical wiring, water pipes and ductwork using acoustical caulk or spray foam will significantly reduce unwanted noise as a preliminary step for ceiling soundproofing. Acoustical caulk should be used along the perimeter of the wall and around all fixtures and duct registers to further seal the treatment. Mineral wool insulation is most commonly used in soundproofing for its density and low cost compared to other soundproofing materials.

Spray foam insulation should only be used to fill gaps and cracks or as a 1-2 inch layer before installing mineral wool. Cured spray foam and other closed-cell foam can be a sound conductor. Spray foam is not porous enough to absorb sound and is also not dense enough to stop sound
Mass is the only way to stop sound. Mass refers to drywall, plywood or concrete. Mass-loaded vinyl (MLV) is used to dampen or weaken sound waves between layers of mass. Use of a viscoelastic damping compound [14] or MLV converts sound waves into heat, weakening the waves before they reach the next layer of mass
