Why Your Duct System Needs Soundproofing? ď ś If you have an AC installed in your home, then you must be familiar with the gentle humming noise generated by these devices. This hum occurs when the hot/cold air produced by the AC moves along the long metal sheets to be circulated in the entire setting. The ducts of your residential/commercial setting conduct these vibrations, resulting in a humming noise that can be distracting. Just as soundproofing a studio is necessary for avoiding noise and echo, a duct system needs soundproofing too.

Ways of Soundproofing a Duct ď ś Air conditioning ducts are basically aluminum foil pipes covered with fiberglass. This structure is the internal duct system covered by an external system. If the external duct system is a coated iron structure, then the noise will naturally be reduced. Unwanted noise can also be held by making sure that the internal and external ducts are sealed together in a way that prevents mechanical linkage. When you are soundproofing a room, you opt for sound absorbent materials. Likewise, to silence the sounds coming from the duct system, you can choose from a number of sound cancellers. You can also use soundproofing absorbent material to line the complete duct and dampen the sounds.

An Easier Alternative to Spreading Absorbent Paper in The Ducts ď ś An easier and reliable method of soundproofing is the use of Inline Silencer. When installed, these devices significantly decrease the volume of sound that travels through ducts. When attached to the system, an inline duct silencer does its job passively, without ever interfering with the airflow. Available in different sizes, these devices are easy to install. They are made in a variety of metals and are lined with an acoustic mineral liner.
