Active Noise Control Products

About Active Noise Control Products

Active noise control products use electro-acoustical sound field modification or cancellation to attenuate or eliminate unwanted sound. By contrast, passive noise control products use materials to absorb sound. Active noise control products include controllers, sensors, actuators, and other electro-acoustical products for limiting or canceling noise or vibration. In a typical active noise control system, sensors are used to detect unwanted sound when it occurs. A controller and speaker are then used to create a sound field that is a twin of the unwanted sound, but inverted, so that it is a mirror image of the sound to be eliminated an anti-sound.


Products & Services Related to Active Noise Control Products

Acoustic Enclosures
Acoustic enclosures are full chambers, enclosures, or rooms designed to attenuate or minimize acoustical noise.
Industrial Silencers and Mufflers
Industrial silencers and mufflers absorb and attenuate noise levels from machinery and other sources for environmental amelioration and regulatory compliance.
Noise Control Products
Noise control products passively control vibrations or noise through absorption or dampening (e.g., mufflers, silencers or baffles).
Sound Level Meters and Noise Dosimeters
Sound level meters and noise dosimeters are used in sound and noise analysis. Applications include industrial safety, traffic noise studies, and scientific noise measurement.
Soundproofing and Acoustic Materials
Sound proofing and acoustic materials are used to attenuate, deaden, or control sound and noise levels from machinery and other sources for environmental amelioration and regulatory compliance.
