Engineered Systems That Make Noise Manageable
From individual machines to entire facilities, we design and install precision-built noise abatement systems that solve complex acoustic challenges, without interrupting your operation.
A System Is More Than an Acoustic Panel
Effective noise control isn’t about hanging drapes, sticking foam on the walls, or buying a generic “soundproofing” kit. Real results come from understanding how sound travels through your facility, from the machines that generate it, through the structures that carry it, and into the environments where people work.
At Memtech Acoustics, we design integrated noise abatement systems that go far beyond single products. Our approach combines acoustic analysis, predictive modeling, and field-proven engineered components to build solutions that:
At Memtech Acoustics, we design integrated noise abatement systems that go far beyond single products. Our approach combines acoustic analysis, predictive modeling, and field-proven engineered components to build solutions that:
- Eliminate excessive noise at its source, path, or receiver.
- Ensure OSHA, NIOSH, and industry compliance.
- Extend equipment life through vibration and acoustic control.
- Improve productivity and safety with quieter facilities.
- Deliver measurable, verifiable results in compliance, safety, and productivity.
- Fit seamlessly into your workflow (e.g. sound-masking systems).
This is noise control as a system. Designed, engineered, and built around your operation.

Acoustic modeling simulates noise behavior in facilities, construction sites, or planned mechanical systems. - Engineering Recommendations
Design/build specifications for enclosures, barriers, isolation, or absorptive treatments. - Design & Build Execution
Deliver turnkey systems that integrate seamlessly into your facility without disrupting operations. - Validation & Documentation
Conduct post-install acoustic testing and provide compliance-ready reports for regulators and EHS teams.
Types of Engineered Noise Solutions
A true noise abatement system is a coordinated set of treatments, materials, and engineering controls that work together to reduce airborne sound, structure-borne vibration, or environmental noise.
Acoustic Enclosures & Barriers
Fully or partially enclosed structures to contain noise from machines, presses, compressors, or HVAC systems.
Absorptive Treatments
Wall, ceiling, or baffle systems to reduce reverberation and improve overall acoustic comfort.
Quiet Curtains™ & Industrial Drapes
Flexible, movable barriers for modular and cost-effective noise control.
Silencers & Mufflers
Airflow and exhaust noise control for fans, ducts, and process systems.
Operator Cabins & Control Rooms
Noise-isolated workspaces that keep staff safe and productive in high-noise facilities.
Custom System Integration
Hybrid approaches blending enclosures, barriers, and absorption for complex environments.
These components are strategically selected and positioned using acoustic modeling to ensure optimal performance.

*Shipping available across the continental USA; installations are offered in select regions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What’s the difference between a noise abatement system and standalone acoustic products?
A noise abatement system integrates multiple engineered components such as enclosures, barriers, absorptive panels, and vibration isolation into a cohesive design. Standalone products often reduce echo but don’t address the root sources of noise.
How do you determine what type of system we need?
We begin with on-site measurement and analysis of both airborne and structural-borne noise. Using predictive modeling, we identify the most effective interventions before recommending a system.
Can systems be retrofitted into existing facilities?
Yes. We frequently retrofit noise control systems into active industrial and commercial facilities, planning installations to minimize downtime and disruption.
What industries benefit most from noise abatement systems?
Manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, energy, food processing, and logistics are common sectors. Systems are also valuable for commercial spaces with mechanical rooms, HVAC noise, or reverberant open areas.
How long do systems last?
Depending on the design and materials, noise control systems typically deliver 20–40+ years of performance with minimal maintenance.
