Noise Control Services

ACOUSTIC ANALYSIS

 

Price Acoustic Analysis consists of our industry leading software and application design assist service. Both of these free tools can reduce project costs and risk often associated when acoustical consultants are not involved on a project. Acoustic Analysis is described below in more detail.

 
 

SOFTWARE

Price has spent thousands of hours and dollars creating the best noise path analysis and prediction software in the industry. This powerful tool utilizes various reputable sources to provide detailed noise modeling and prediction through a very friendly user interface. in addition, the software creates reports and schedules in addition to various relevant documentation such as installation details and specifications. This software tool is already used by hundreds of engineers and acoustical consultants and runs off the All-ln-One (AIO) software platform.

VALUE-ADDED SERVICES

Price is able to provide free application and selection assistance on projects that do not have acoustical consultants. Our experienced team is able to save engineering time and reduce project budgets by providing the most cost effective and transparent noise control solutions in the industry. In addition to selecting the most cost effective products and recommending their location, Price can also provide schedules, specifications, drawings and complete reports as needed.

 

ACOUSTIC ANALYSIS

REQUIREMENTS

Before providing our Acoustic Analysis service, we require several things:

1

Relevant equipment sound power octave band levels

2

Relevant airflow and allowable pressure drop for noise control products as applicable

3

MEPs and/or architectural drawings of relevant equipment and occupied spaces of concern

4

Desired sound criteria for relevant occupied spaces if already established

We look forward to working with you and providing the most transparent and cost effective solutions in the industry.

PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE

 

The Price Noise Control Performance Guarantee is unique in the industry. We guarantee the estimated noise criteria and pressure drop based on provided project information when performing our Acoustic Analysis service.

Most manufacturers provide optimal performance data that does not always accurately reflect project conditions.
The Price Noise Control Performance Guarantee can protect the design team from unforseen risks that often occur when last minute changes or space constraints lead to non-ideal duct layouts. For more information please contact us at noisecontrol@priceindustries.com

 

SELECTION
TOOLS & SOFTWARE

The Price All-In-One (AIO) selection software is the most advanced noise control product selection tool in the industry.

Features include:

  • Product selection by Performance, Design Criteria or Model Number
  • Control of numerous guidelines including insertion loss (IL), pressure drop (in.w.g.) and airflow (cfm & fpm)
  • Ability to change product properties such as material, gauge and liners
  • Silencer schedule creation in excel and pdf
  • Integration with Price Acoustic Analysis software

BIM & REVIT

 

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that provides engineering and construction professionals with the tools to more efficiently design, plan and construct buildings and infrastructure.

  • Price provides a full downloadable Revit library of our Noise Control products that can be used for BIM
  • A wide variety of Noise Control products are available for download including Silencers and Acoustic Panels
  • Custom Price Noise Control Revit models are available - please contact noisecontrol@priceindustries.com for more information
 

SYSTEM APPROACH

 

Price Industries is the largest air distribution company in North America and as a result is able to provide the most complete integrated systems solution. We consider the entire HVAC system and in many cases offer unique solutions that are either lab-rated or can be tested in our multiple mock-up test facilities.

We are the only Noise Control company that offers a complete solution that ultimately saves design time and reduces risk. Price considers variables including energy consumption (pressure drop), space, cost and indoor air quality (IAQ) to provide the best project solution. These variables are discussed in more detail below.

 
 

ENERGY

Providing silencers based on pressure drop requirements and system layout allows designers to minimize energy consumption. Some of our silencers do not add any pressure drop to the system and our software can account for system effects resulting from non-ideal inlet and outlet silencer conditions.

SPACE

Design constraints often include space restrictions. Price understands that every project is different and as a result offers silencers in 0.01" dimensional increments and transitions to ensure this is never a problem. Our silencer sizing options ensure that designers are never restricted and at the same time noise requirements are satisfied.

COST

Some manufacturers push features that are not necessary for a project and this can result in budget issues. Price works with the designers and contractors to ensure the most cost effective solution is provided that also meets or exceeds project design criteria requirements. Price also considers installation and labor when providing noise control options and our software allows for the cost comparison of multiple options using a few key strokes.

INDOOR AIR QUALITY (IAQ)

Not all project types are the same and as a result Price offers numerous casing, liner and fill options. We are well versed in the different project type requirements and can provide assistance in determining what material options will best satisfy project IAC requirements. As the air distribution leader in North America, we understand IAQ better than any other Noise Control company and are well suited to ensuring this is never an issue.
