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

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.
