Acoustic Noise Havens

Acoustic noise havens are a practical solution in reducing noise exposure for operatives in noisy environments where it is not feasible or practical to reduce noise at source through other noise control measures. These acoustic havens provide a quiet environment where operatives can reduce daily noise exposure, and allow space for concentration on daily tasks, whilst being close to plant and machinery.

Tailored Solution

Wakefield Acoustics have a range of solutions for protecting employees within a noisy working environment. Our range of noise havens are designed and installed in house, and are developed to suit clients requirements with regard to access and visibility of the working area, whilst maintaining acoustic isolation.

We work with closely with end users and consultants to develop a quality, functional solution to meet project needs

Application

Acoustic noise havens are a popular solution across multiple industries where a soundproof solution is required for a small breakout area, work office or control room, protecting occupants from high-noise environments.

Ensure your employees can work and communicate efficiently by installing an acoustic noise haven, protecting them from noise within production facilities and helping improve business operations.

Custom designed acoustic noise havens are fitted with personnel access doors, dual glazed viewing windows, lighting, ventilation and air conditioning, ensuring a comfortable and quiet environment for employees to work. Noise havens also protect employees from exposure to high noise levels and help to ensure compliance with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations.

What is an acoustic noise haven?

Acoustic noise havens are quiet spaces designed to be a break out area for staff to work without distraction from the loud noises of the work environment around them in the building. Acoustic noise havens block intrusive sounds, and reduce noise to provide a quiet environment for employees to work.

Where are Acoustic Noise Havens typically used?

Acoustic noise havens are typically used in industrial facilities with high noise levels, and can be typically found in large manufacturing facilities with multiple noise sources, where workers need relief form excessive noise levels.

How much noise reduction do Acoustic Noise Havens provide?

Standard acoustic noise havens will provide 20-25 dB of noise protection from external environments. High performance noise havens can be designed for significantly higher levels of noise reduction where operatives need to be located in a quiet area for specific tasks

Do Acoustic Noise Havens require special ventilation?

Acoustic noise havens require dedicated ventilation systems to ensure operatives comfort. The ventilation systems have to be specially designed complete with attenuation or silencers and acoustically lined ductwork sections in order to limit noise breaking into the noise haven

What are the key design features of Acoustic Noise Havens?

The key design features of purpose built, high performance acoustic noise haven include high-mass barriers for sound blocking, acoustically absorbent materials, decoupling from surrounding structures, and high grade acoustic windows.

Can Acoustic Noise Havens be integrated with existing buildings?

Yes, acoustic noise havens can be integrated into existing buildings, though this may require structural modifications, additional HVAC provisions, and careful acoustic design.
