How the U.S. Navy found the key to reducing aboard noise levels

Cover Image

Excessive noise on U.S. Navy aircraft carriers poses a health risk, with levels over 150 decibels during takeoffs, leading to Noise-Induced Hearing Loss among veterans.

Noise Control Engineering LLC addressed this with:

  • Advanced simulation using Designer-NOISE software to predict noise
  • Validation with Siemens' Simcenter SCADAS Mobile hardware and Simcenter Testlab software
  • Noise source identification using Simcenter Solid Sphere Array

They found vibrating structural bulkheads were the main noise source and applied a spray-on damping solution, reducing noise by 5-7 decibels in treated areas.
