Noise Control
Noise Reduction for Maschines and Plants
Alternative silencers

To solve low-frequency problems, the IBP developed resonance silencers with a high attenuation and load, constructed without any porous material.

 
Computation of Absorptive Silencers

Calculation methods for the dimensioning of silencers can be processed on the PC by means of CompAS (Computation of Absorptive Silencers), a program developed by the IBP.

 
Acoustic analysis of ventilation systems

Components of ventilation and air-conditioning systems were analyzed for acoustic effects and interactions at low frequencies in this project. A PC program was developed to be operated under Windows95 and higher. The program is apt to dimension new plants and to analyze existing plants at low frequencies with a high frequency resolution.

 
Acoustic signal processing
Active silencers and absorbers

In comparison to the well-known principle of sound resolution by the interference of opposite-phase pressure waves, frequently known as anti-sound, actively absorptive silencers are an innovative principle of active noise reduction in sound channels.

Requirements for the acoustic quality in small rooms such as studios, conference rooms or special rooms for acoustic measurements, being permanently minimized for economical reasons, remain unchangeably high so that the effective conditioning of such rooms is an actual as well as practice-relevant task.

 
Acoustic measuring instruments for development and quality assurance

By using CAD measuring systems, numerous acoustic measurements have become time and cost-saving. This applies for laboratory testing in research and development as well as for the quality control of acoustic material or product properties.

 
Acoustic leak detection

Experience with the generation of noise in outlet valves, the wave propagation in pipes and progressive signal analysis resulted in an innovative concept of leak detection, improving and replacing the traditional methods (with hearing rod, auscultation tube, geophone).
