• Beam Clamps - Clamps onto the flange of beams, joists and purlins.

Examples of Sound Blocking

When trying to reduce equipment noise, most people simply say they want it “quieter” without knowing how much reduction theyactually need. These audio clips demonstrate what different decibel reductions actually sound like using real machine noise — so you can hear the difference, not just read about it.

🔊 Machine Noise (Original)
This is the unaltered recording of the machine at full volume. It serves as the reference sound to compare against the reduced versions.

🔉 3 dB Reduction
Slight Change. A 3 dB drop reduces the perceived volume by about 18%. This change is minimal and only slightly noticeable to the average ear.

🔉 6 dB Reduction
Clearly Noticeable. Reducing the noise by 6 dB results in roughly a 34% decrease in perceived loudness. Most people can easily hear the difference at this level.

🔉 10 dB Reduction
Sounds Half as Loud. A 10 dB reduction cuts the perceived sound by 50%. This is a significant drop that makes the machine sound much quieter.

🔉 20 dB Reduction
Major Difference. With a 75% decrease in perceived volume, this level of reduction delivers a dramatic change and makes the machine sound far less intrusive.

Common Layouts

AKON can supply just about any layout you can think of. Below are some common styles. They can be single sided, double-sided, triple sided, four-sided or multiple straights to create complete enclosures. You simply inform AKON about your desired design and we will have it fabricated exactly as you need it. For customized layouts, sketch your design and upload it using our online RFQ form. See button below.

Common Questions

How might these panels cut noise?
Comprising soft, porous, open-celled materials, the panels absorb sound waves, therefore lowering ambient noise levels and reverberation duration. In many different work settings, this improves output and communication.

Are the panels custom-made?
The industrial soundproofing panels are both standard and custom-made. We use as much material as we can for your project, which is standard and stocked, then for a small fraction of your project, we custom-cut the material to make it a perfect fit. This gives you an industrial sound-blocking wall or enclosure that is made to your exact size while keeping your cost lower.

Are the panels fire-rated?
Yes, the quieted soundproofing industrial panels are class A fire rated per ASTM E-84.

Industrial quilted sound panels are what?
Made from fiberglass or another porous substance, flexible, fabric-faced acoustic remedies called industrial quilted sound panels are In industrial and commercial settings, they are intended to absorb and block sound, therefore lowering echo, reverberation, and general noise levels.

What materials make up these panels?
Fiberglass batting's basic width ranges from 1" to 2". The facings are made from nonwoven porous scrim, silicone-coated fiberglass, or vinyl-coated fiberglass fabric. For durability and looks, diamond or straight stitch patterns, and for maximum sound shielding, some panels also have mass-loaded vinyl barriers inside per special request.

Are they outdoor-useable?
Some panels, with their weather-resistant facings like silicone-coated fiberglass, are meant for outdoor use. Still, it's important to confirm the particular product's fit for outside uses by asking your AKON agent.

How are these panels mounted?
Hanging from ceilings or walls is done with grommets that are installed on the panels.

• For retractable uses, mount them on AKON curtain track rolling rails (also used for static mounting).
• For smooth connections between panels, we can provide Velcro edges.
• We can also supply the panels in bulk roll form, which is very handy for lining enclosures or wrapping around machinery.

Is the curtain track method only for retractable sound panels?
No, in fact, most of the installations that use the AKON industrial curtain track for the industrial sound-blocking panels have them in a static position. The track makes drop-down from above or freestanding installations much easier.

Can they be rated for high temperatures?
Yes, we can change out the fabric so that it uses a high temperature sound blocking material, which is ideal for machines or processes that produce high heat. Just ask your AKON representative.

How should I keep these panels neat and maintained?
Maintenance is simple by performing frequent dusting or vacuuming, with spot cleaning stains with a light detergent. Steer clear of strong chemicals that might compromise the face material. For particular cleaning advice, you can ask your AKON representative.
