Custom Solutions
Each of our acoustic containers is built with a robust structural baseplate that provides exceptional stability and longevity. The insulated external panels and soundproof roof are crafted using high-quality materials designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions while effectively reducing noise emissions.
Integrated ventilation systems are an essential component of our containers, allowing for optimal airflow while maintaining acoustic performance through use of custom-designed attenuation modules.
Lifting lugs are meticulously tested and certified, ensuring the safe handling and transport of housed plant equipment during installation and maintenance.

The load-bearing roof of our containers is specifically engineered to support various types of equipment, including exhaust silencers, heat exchangers, and other machinery as required by your project. This thoughtful design allows for flexibility in installation, accommodating additional components without compromising structural integrity.
Comprehensive Ventilation Solutions
Effective ventilation is critical in industrial applications, and we provide a range of solutions tailored to meet specific project needs. Our containers can be equipped with roof-mounted penthouses, separate inlet ventilation pods, and standard attenuator units, all of which can be seamlessly integrated into the overall design. Each ventilation solution is designed to facilitate efficient airflow while ensuring that noise levels remain within acceptable limits, making our containers ideal for high-performance environments.
Generator Acoustic Containers
Our acoustic containers are particularly beneficial for power generation applications, where noise reduction is paramount. We incorporate maintenance-friendly designs that include fully tested and certified lifting beams, allowing for safe and efficient access to essential components. Additionally, removable end walls and ventilation modules provide easy access for major plant removal and servicing, significantly reducing downtime. Double-leaf access doors are strategically positioned to enhance operational convenience, ensuring that maintenance tasks can be performed quickly and safely.
Versatile Container Designs
In addition to generators, Wakefield Acoustics is adept at designing and manufacturing insulated containers for switchgear and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. Our experienced engineers work closely with clients to develop tailored solutions that address specific noise control challenges while meeting industry standards and regulations.
Integrated Services for Enhanced Efficiency
Alongside the manufacture of acoustic containers, Wakefield Acoustics also offer a partial fit-out or full packaged solution for diesel generators. From a simple loading of engines and key components, to a full M&E installation comprising of:
- Small power and lighting
- Pipework/fuel connections
- Fuel tanks
- HV & LV power cabling
- Fire detection and suppression
This approach not only saves vital time on site, but also allows full FAT works to be completed in full prior to delivery.
Commitment to Quality and Compliance
At Wakefield Acoustics, we pride ourselves on our rigorous quality assurance processes and adherence to industry standards. Each acoustic container is manufactured with a focus on durability, performance, and compliance with relevant regulations, ensuring that our clients receive a product that not only meets their noise reduction requirements but also stands the test of time.
Whether you require a standard solution or a fully customised acoustic container, we’re here to assist. Our expertise in acoustic design and manufacturing ensures that we deliver high-quality products tailored to your specific needs, helping you achieve your noise control objectives with confidence.

What is an acoustic container?
An acoustic container reduces noise levels from machinery and loud environments in buildings. Acoustic containers can be used in many conditions to reduce noise from diesel generators, offshore pumps, combined heat and power, hydraulics, water pumps, waste management and much more.
Can you enclose a generator to make it quieter?
Yes, enclosing a generator with an acoustic container can reduce the noise levels by at least 20 decibels.
Is there any way to muffle the sound of a generator?
Yes you can reduce the sound of a generator with an acoustic container and using acoustic blankets. These acoustic materials are very effective at absorbing soundwaves and reducing loud noises from any machinery including generators.
Should a generator be enclosed?
We recommend enclosing a generator to reduce loud noise levels and minimise disruption to the work environment.
What equipment is commonly housed in acoustic containers?
Common equipment housed in acoustic containers include diesel generators, gas turbine generators, emergency backup power systems, air compressors, water treatment equipment, and more.
What noise reduction levels do acoustic containers achieve?
Acoustic containers typically provide 25-35 dB of noise reduction, with some high-end models achieving up to 40 dB reduction. This represents a significant improvement over standard generator enclosures, making them suitable for residential and noise-sensitive areas.
How is ventilation handled in acoustic containers?
Acoustic containers typically feature ventilation systems with acoustic attenuators on air intake and exhaust openings. These systems maintain adequate airflow for equipment cooling while reducing noise transmission through ventilation paths.
