EV charging infrastructure and battery storage are key to a cleaner future — but they create an unintended side effect: severe noise pollution. We develop customized solutions that address these specific noise challenges, ensuring acoustic compliance without compromising system performance.
Low-frequency tonal noise and structure-borne vibration from heavy-duty HVAC blowers and transformers frequently trigger residential noise complaints and jeopardize site-plan approval.
We design acoustic absorption and barrier solutions that work in tandem with the facility's thermal-management requirements — mitigating noise without trapping the heat that these systems must reject.
When multiple DC fast chargers operate simultaneously, the cumulative sound power of their cooling fans and compressors multiplies — and real-world performance varies dramatically with surrounding reflective surfaces, interfering with local zoning limits.
We deliver highly customized solutions including architectural acoustic louvers, sound-absorbing barrier walls and specialized airflow silencers, validated with predictive acoustic modeling before construction.
Have a specific facility or piece of equipment in mind? Our engineers are happy to talk it through.
Ask an EngineerYes. Most municipalities in New York and New Jersey now require a predictive acoustic modeling study during the site-plan approval phase.
Yes. When multiple chargers and their power cabinets operate at peak capacity, the cumulative broadband noise can exceed standard 50–65 dBA commercial boundary limits.
No — this is a dangerous misconception. A solid wall traps heat, causing equipment failure. We design ventilated acoustic solutions that attenuate noise while allowing the airflow these systems require.
Engage us during the initial site design and permitting phase, before equipment is purchased or concrete is poured — that is when mitigation options are widest and least expensive.
Tell us about your facility and equipment. We'll tell you what can be determined from what you already have — and what would require an on-site assessment.
