Industrial Noise Isn’t Just a Hearing Risk — It’s a Mental Health Risk Too

Posted on by KINETICS GROUP
Industrial Noise Isn’t Just a Hearing Risk — It’s a Mental Health Risk Too At Kinetics Group, we’ve always treated industrial noise as more than a “decibel problem.” Yes, noise can damage hearing — but in real factories, noise also drains focus, elevates tension, disrupts recovery, and quietly pushes people toward burnout. A recent manufacturing-industry study from Indonesia makes that message uncomfortably clear: workplace noise isn’t only an audiological hazard. It behaves like a psychosocial stressor that measurably increases work stress and psychological distress.

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

Posted on by KINETICS GROUP
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.

Noise pollution generated by building ventilation systems, generator room vents, and pump room ventilation is a growing concern in modern construction. This issue is particularly significant in environments such as industrial buildings, hotels, hospitals, and educational facilities, where both occupant comfort and regulatory compliance are critical. Where Is This Noise Most Common? Commercial and Educational […]
