Acoustic Treatment for HVAC Ductwork
KINETICS® Duct Treatments are designed to address noise problems that occur in HVAC ductwork, especially where duct systems pass through sound-sensitive areas or connect quiet rooms to noisy spaces. Kinetics identifies three common duct-related noise issues: sound traveling through ductwork, noise breaking out through duct walls, and airflow noise through grilles or diffusers.

Noise Traveling Through Ductwork
Sound can bypass sound-rated walls and ceilings by traveling through supply and return duct paths. Kinetics In-Joist Duct Silencers provide bidirectional control of sound energy traveling through ductwork, helping reduce noise transfer from spaces such as home theaters, media rooms, game rooms, golf simulators, fitness rooms, bedrooms, libraries, and other quiet areas.

Duct Breakout Noise Control
Duct breakout noise occurs when sound transmits through the duct wall into surrounding cavities and then into adjacent rooms or ceiling/floor assemblies. Kinetics recommends mass-loaded vinyl solutions for this type of duct noise issue, with different styles and weights available depending on the application and required acoustic performance.

Commercial HVAC Duct Silencers and Sound Attenuators
For commercial, institutional, and industrial HVAC systems, Kinetics duct silencers and sound attenuators are engineered to limit airborne noise in ducts and openings connected to buildings, enclosures, mechanical rooms, and equipment rooms. Silencer integration requires careful consideration of available space, fan selection, airflow, and aerodynamic pressure losses.

Consultant-Friendly HVAC Noise Control
KINETICS® Duct Treatments support acoustic consultants, MEP engineers, HVAC contractors, architects, developers, and fit-out teams working on sound-sensitive spaces. They are particularly useful where duct paths may compromise the acoustic performance of studios, cinemas, offices, hotels, villas, apartments, schools, hospitals, libraries, and premium residential interiors across the UAE and wider GCC region.
