DATA CENTERS

Noise Control Solutions for Data Center Cooling, Power and Backup Systems

Data centers, though non-industrial in appearance, run some of the most acoustically demanding infrastructure in any commercial setting. Thousands of high-velocity cooling fans, chillers, generators and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems operate continuously to maintain server environments within tight temperature tolerances, producing sustained ambient noise and low-frequency hums that can affect both on-site workers and surrounding communities.

Cooling is the largest continuous noise source in a data center, running at full capacity around the clock to remove server heat.

  • High-Velocity Cooling Fans
  • CRAC and CRAH Units
  • Chillers
  • Cooling Towers

Backup power infrastructure adds intermittent but intense noise events on top of the constant cooling load, particularly during testing and outage response.

  • Backup Generators
  • Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Systems
  • Switchgear and Transformers
