Any audible noise or inaudible vibration from HVAC, mechanical, or electrical systems will mask and/or detract from the sound of a performance, recording, or any form of media playback or presentation. Noise and vibrations travel through ductwork, walls, floors, and ceilings, and must be minimized, controlled, or eliminated to provide the most clear and accurate sound from desired sources.

Steven Durr Designs’ services in noise and vibration control include analysis and recommendations for air conditioning systems, plumbing and electrical systems, and manufacturing equipment.

In an existing space, Steven Durr Designs uses common sense solutions to solve noise and vibration problems. In facility design, noise criteria for each space is established and documented in the early design phase. This document becomes part of the master design set, and helps to prevent the potential of problems surfacing after the project is complete. Steven Durr Designs prepares guidelines for the mechanical engineer, and maintains close involvement with the mechanical contractor during the construction phase, thereby insuring that the highest standards of noise criteria are met.
