Excessive Noise in Workplaces.

When exposure levels exceed the values established by RD 286/2006, the company is obliged to take measures. An acoustic study allows for the quantification of the actual noise level, the assessment of personnel exposure, and the definition of solutions that guarantee legal compliance and the safety of the operators.

Vibrations from Machinery Operating Continuously.

Prolonged vibrations affect both the comfort of workers and the integrity of machinery. This phenomenon can lead to recurring breakdowns, misalignments, component failures, and loss of performance. A vibroacoustic analysis identifies the source and magnitude of the problem to design suitable damping or isolation systems.

Complaints from Workers due to Acoustic Fatigue or Discomfort.

The perception of excessive noise or bothersome vibrations is usually the first indication that there is an acoustic imbalance in the plant. Addressing these early warning signs prevents the problem from escalating into situations of occupational risk, medical impact, or regulatory non-compliance.

Need to Extend the Lifespan of Sensitive Machinery.

Precision equipment, continuous production machinery or auxiliary systems can have their service life reduced if they operate under uncontrolled vibrations. With an acoustic and vibrational study, it is possible to detect anomalous patterns, anticipate failures and apply measures that increase the reliability and availability of the equipment.

Problems in Auxiliary Installations.

Auxiliary equipment, such as pumps, compressors, fans, extractors, presses, and other support machinery, are often critical sources of noise and vibration within an industrial plant. When they exhibit mechanical imbalances, resonances, or excessive sound pressure levels, their impact can extend to operational zones and adjacent areas. A specialised acoustic study can identify the cause of the problem and select effective solutions such as absorptive treatments, enclosures, or isolation systems that significantly reduce their influence on the operating environment.

Requirements for Internal or External Audits in OSH.

Before a health and safety risk prevention audit, or when applicable regulations are updated, it is advisable to assess the acoustic condition of the facility. This allows for the traceability of measurements, justification of personnel exposure, and demonstration of compliance with established limits.

Implementation of New Production Lines or Relocation of Equipment.

The incorporation of new machinery or the reorganisation of a plant can generate unforeseen sources of noise or vibrations. A preliminary study helps to define the optimal location, design preventive measures, and control the acoustic impact before commissioning, thereby preventing future problems.

What is the difference between an acoustic study and acoustic treatment?

Both processes are part of acoustic engineering, but they serve different functions:

Acoustic studyAnalyze and measure noise and vibration levels with certified instrumentation to identify the source of the problem and define the most suitable technical solutions.
Acoustic Suitability is the phase in which these solutions are implemented, such as absorbent panels, enclosures, silencers or anti-vibration systems, ensuring noise reduction and improved vibration behaviour of the machinery.

This difference allows each project to be approached with precision: first a reliable diagnosis, followed by the implementation of effective corrective measures.

How do industrial vibrations affect machinery and personnel safety?

Industrial vibrations can generate direct impacts on both machinery performance and operator health. Among their most common effects are:

Reduced machinery lifespan, accelerating wear and reducing the reliability of critical equipment.
Breakdowns, misalignments, and recurring failures, especially on sensitive or continuously operating machines.
Discomfort, fatigue and stress in staff, affecting workplace comfort and increasing the risk of incidents.

Adequate vibration control through anti-vibration solutions and vibroacoustic studies allows for improved plant safety, efficiency, and operational stability.

What regulations govern industrial acoustics and noise control in Spain?

Industrial acoustics in Spain is regulated by different standards that establish the limits and requirements that companies must fulfil:

Royal Decree 286/2006, which protects workers against exposure to noise in the workplace.
Law 37/2003 on Noise and RD 1367/2007, which regulate sound emissions and permissible levels according to the activity.
Town by-laws, which set specific limits for each municipality or industrial estate.

At Grupo TICE, we ensure that each acoustic engineering project complies with applicable legislation and can successfully pass audits, inspections, and technical-regulatory requirements.

How to design a bespoke acoustic solution for heavy machinery?

The design of an acoustic solution for heavy machinery requires specific technical analysis, as this equipment generates high levels of noise and vibrations. The process begins with certified measurements that allow the identification of the emitting source, its frequency, and how it is transmitted to the structure or environment.

From this data, the most suitable elements are selected, such as industrial enclosures, high-performance absorbent panels, or anti-vibration systems sized for the machine's actual load, and a solution tailored to the operating conditions and the plant's regulatory requirements is defined.

This methodology guarantees that noise and vibration reduction is effective without interfering with the equipment's operation, maintenance, or safety.

How much does it cost to hire an industrial acoustic engineering service?

The cost of an industrial acoustic engineering service depends on the characteristics of the installation, the type of noise or vibration problem, the machinery involved, and the scope of the necessary work. There is no single price, as each project may require different levels of measurement, technical diagnosis, design of acoustic solutions, or implementation of corrective measures.

Factors such as the complexity of the measurements, the dimensions of the installation, the applicable regulatory requirements, and the need to incorporate insulation systems, shock absorbers, silencers, or acoustic enclosures also influence the results.
