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 […]

In the intricate world of building management and industrial operations, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems are silently working to maintain optimal indoor environments. However, there’s a hidden enemy that can silently sabotage their efficiency, shorten their lifespan, and disrupt the peace: VIBRATION. Uncontrolled vibration in HVAC equipment isn’t just an annoyance; it’s a […]

Effective noise control is essential in modern building environments, particularly where comfort and productivity are priorities. Sound attenuators—also known as duct silencers—are critical components in HVAC systems, designed to minimize noise transmission through ductwork and maintain acoustic comfort in occupied spaces. (1)(3) Fundamental Concepts What is Sound? Sound is a propagating vibrational disturbance or wave in […]
