Noise Barrier Efficiency Calculations Now Identify Imperfect Barriers
Summary
Prior to Predictor-LimA’s innovative approach, noise mapping and prediction software did not take into account sound leakage, which had to be modelled using secondary sources – adding complexity, plus time and risk of error into the calculation.The software’s efficiency calculation is useful for a variety of noise barriers including those surrounding shale gas drilling compressor stations/pad sites, properties close to roads and outdoor amphitheatre projects.As a specialist in this domain, the company helps customers ensure component quality, enhance product performance and monitor operational compliance.The application of experience and technology promotes quality and efficiency at every stage of a product’s life cycle: design, development, manufacture, deployment and operation.“This new capability also provides a distinct advantage to experts seeking to demonstrate the need for a higher transmission loss barrier.”More information about Predictor-LimA is available on Brüel & Kjærs website.Brüel & Kjær helps solve sound and vibration challenges, and develops advanced technology for measuring and managing sound and vibration.As a specialist in this domain, the company helps customers ensure component quality, enhance product performance and monitor operational compliance.Over more than 70 years, many of Brüel & Kjær’s research and development people have become recognized global experts, who aid the scientific community and teach at renowned centres.The application of experience and technology promotes quality and efficiency at every stage of a product’s life cycle: design, development, manufacture, deployment and operation.Through mastering sound and vibration, Brüel & Kjær helps to accelerate business growth and improves environmental quality.
