Engineering Silence with Airflow: How Louvered Noise Barriers Transform Industrial Noise Control

At Kinetics Group, we believe that effective noise control is not about blocking sound indiscriminately, but about managing it intelligently without compromising operational performance. This balance is particularly critical in industrial and building services environments, where equipment must continuously ventilate, cool, and operate while coexisting with people and sensitive urban surroundings. Industrial equipment such as dry coolers, chillers, generators, and large ventilation units remains among the most dominant sources of environmental noise in cities. As Kanev and Dolger observe, industrial equipment is often a noise source in urban spaces and disturbs people’s everyday activities, reinforcing the idea that noise mitigation is not merely an engineering preference, but a social, environmental, and regulatory responsibility (Kanev and Dolger, 2025). Among the available mitigation strategies, louvered noise barriers represent one of the most effective yet technically demanding solutions. Designed to attenuate sound while maintaining airflow, these systems address a fundamental conflict between acoustic control and mechanical operation. Recent research presented at Forum Acusticum / Euronoise 2025 provides valuable scientific insight into how the acoustic impedance of louver blades fundamentally governs barrier performance. These findings strongly align with Kinetics Group’s decades-long experience in acoustic louvers, attenuators, and ventilation noise control systems across industrial, healthcare, and infrastructure projects.

The Isolator Newsletter – December 2025 – Vol 82

Hello December! As the year winds down, the energy at KGC continues to rise — driven by innovation, engineering excellence, and projects that push acoustic performance to new heights. This month, our spotlight turns to an iconic Hotel Ras Al Khaimah, where we delivered a premium acoustic louver solution engineered to protect luxury spaces from mechanical and outdoor noise. In our technical discussion, we explore how blade orientation within acoustic louvers influences sound attenuation — revealing the science behind airflow paths, angle geometry, and frequency control. Our product highlight this month features the Kinetics Acoustic Louvers — built to balance airflow, durability, and high-performance noise reduction across the most demanding façade applications. As we close another impactful month, we’re reminded that precision, passion, and purpose continue to shape every solution we engineer. Let’s keep the momentum strong — advancing quietly, performing powerfully.

Designing for Well-Being: How Acoustic and Visual Environments Shape the Mental Health of Older Adults

At Kinetics Group of Companies, we recognise that buildings are not merely physical structures; they are experiential environments that shape how people feel, think, behave, and age. The interaction of sound and light within indoor spaces plays a profound role in shaping emotional stability, cognitive clarity, and psychological resilience — especially among older adults. A comprehensive 2025 systematic review published in Humanities and […]
