Sound transmission – minimising noise through targeted sound insulation
Sound transmission describes the propagation of sound waves through air, solid bodies or liquids. In industry, automotive engineering, heat pump technology, medical technology, rail vehicles, construction and agricultural machinery, and room acoustics, targeted sound reduction is essential in order to minimise noise emissions, comply with legal requirements and increase comfort.
Types of sound transmission
- Airborne sound: Transmission of noise through the air (e.g. engine noise, voices, machine noise)
- Structure-borne sound: Transmission of vibrations through solid bodies such as metal or plastic (e.g. machine housings, vehicle bodies, heat pumps)
Sound insulation solutions to reduce sound transmission
Cellofoam offers tailor-made solutions for sound minimisation in various areas of application:
- Machinery & industry: Highly effective heavy foils, acoustic fleeces and acoustic foams reduce airborne and structure-borne noise
- Vehicles & buses: Sound insulation in the engine compartment, passenger compartment and technical compartment for greater driving comfort
- Rail vehicles: Optimised insulation materials to reduce vibrations and noise in passenger and traction vehicle areas
- Heat pumps: Special sound insulation materials for noise reduction in indoor and outdoor units
- Medical technology: Noise-reducing materials for diagnostic systems and medical devices
- Cabins, capsules & hoods: Effective sound insulation for machine cabins, test benches and soundproof hoods
- Construction and agricultural machinery: Heavy-duty insulation materials for noise reduction in demanding environments
- Room acoustics: Acoustic panels, ceiling absorbers and wall absorbers for offices, living spaces, schools, nurseries, restaurants, production halls and public buildings to reduce reverberation and noise pollution
Targeted measures for noise minimisation
✔ Sound insulation
Heavy materials such as heavy foils or composite foams reduce the transmission of airborne noise
✔ Sound absorption
Open-cell acoustic foams and acoustic non-wovens minimise reflections and reduce reverberation
✔ Decoupling
Special vibration dampers prevent the transmission of structure-borne noise
✔ Targeted encapsulation
Machine and motor noise can be minimised with customised soundproofing hoods
✔ Baffles & ceiling absorbers
They reduce the overall noise level in workshops, production halls or office buildings
✔ Room acoustic solutions
Wall absorbers, acoustic pictures and ceiling inserts for grid ceilings ensure a pleasant listening environment in living and working spaces
Effective noise reduction for greater comfort, safety and health
Thanks to innovative materials and many years of experience, Cellofoam offers effective sound insulation solutions that reduce sound transmission and create a more pleasant environment.
