88dB-63dB Cooling Tower Noise Control Treatment for Three Large AC Towers | ES Acoustic

ES Acoustic delivered a customized cooling tower noise control solution for three large air-conditioning cooling towers, reducing the measured noise level from 88 dB to approximately 63 dB.

Our team developed the acoustic treatment around the equipment layout, surrounding environment, and maintenance requirements. The solution helped control continuous fan and mechanical noise while maintaining practical access for operation, inspection, and servicing.

Large cooling towers play an essential role in HVAC systems for commercial and industrial buildings, but fans, motors, airflow, and mechanical components can generate persistent noise. Without effective acoustic treatment, cooling tower noise may affect nearby offices, public areas, neighboring properties, or residential environments.

Cooling Tower Noise Control Approach

Cooling tower noise usually comes from fan operation, motors, airflow, vibration, and other mechanical components. For this project, our team reviewed the equipment arrangement, surrounding environment, maintenance requirements, and target noise level before developing the acoustic treatment strategy.

The solution focused on reducing cooling tower noise while keeping sufficient access for equipment inspection, operation, and routine maintenance. After treatment, the measured noise level decreased from 88 dB to approximately 63 dB, achieving a reduction of around 25 dB.
