Noise is a sound that is unwanted and bothersome to the receiver! Therefore, noise mitigation is absorbing or blocking unwanted sound in any environment. When a sound wave is absorbed, both its linear wave peaks are trapped within an absorption material. This essentially “kills” that sound wave and prevents it from propagating both beyond the absorptive material or bouncing off the material and traveling back along the path on which it came. When a sound wave is blocked, one or none of the peaks of its linear wave may be absorbed, dampening the sound which moves with the wave traveling back along the path it came in on and significantly blocking the noise that propagates through the blocking material. ## Noise Mitigation at a Glance - Designed and engineered tool to stop unwanted sound - Portability and adaptability allow for customized enclosure design and maximum effectiveness - Multiple products can be used for increased protection - Laboratory tested materials - Fire-rated certifications that apply to most projects ## Environmental Noise Control’s Proprietary Noise Control Products Environmental Noise Control, Inc. provides materials and products for both absorbing and blocking noise, including blankets, portable panels, permanent structures, silencers, mufflers, temporary walls, and sk8 panels.
