Industrial Acoustic Engineering Experts

At Grupo TICE, we approach acoustic engineering from a thoroughly industrial perspective: precise, regulatory, and results-oriented. Our work begins with identifying the source of noise and vibrations, factors that affect workplace safety, compliance with RD 286/2006, and machinery lifespan. It continues with the design of customised solutions capable of correcting the problem without interrupting the client's operations.

Having worked in demanding production environments and plants for over 20 years, we have developed a comprehensive approach that combines certified noise measurements, advanced vibroacoustic analysis, and the design of professional acoustic insulation systems, enclosures, barriers, and specific dampers for heavy loads. Our objective remains the same: to ensure safer, quieter, and more efficient environments, reinforcing operational continuity and the reliability of every facility.

What is Industrial Acoustic Engineering?

Industrial Acoustic Engineering for Noise and Vibration Control

At Grupo TICE, we approach industrial acoustic engineering as a fundamental technical process to guarantee the safety, performance, and reliability of any production environment. Our work involves accurately analysing how noise and vibrations affect operators, production lines, and the lifespan of each machine, applying advanced methodologies and certified measurements that allow us to identify the real source of each problem.

Noise and vibration control is crucial in industry: it influences compliance with RD 286/2006, reduces occupational risks, minimises damage caused by vibrations, and avoids operational losses associated with recurring mechanical failures. Thanks to our experience and ability to design bespoke solutions, from professional acoustic insulation to anti-vibration systems for heavy loads, we can effectively rectify situations that compromise both worker well-being and plant efficiency.

Our philosophy is clear: to apply acoustic engineering as a strategic tool that optimises operational continuity, enhances equipment performance, and ensures a quieter, safer, and more stable industrial environment in the long term.

When to Carry Out an Acoustic Study or Industrial Adequacy

In a production facility, the need to carry out an acoustic study or vibro-acoustic remediation arises whenever noise or vibration levels could compromise safety, machinery reliability, or regulatory compliance. At Grupo TICE, we analyse each situation with certified instrumentation to determine the origin of the problem and define precise corrective actions tailored to each industrial plant. Below, we detail the most common scenarios where intervention is essential.

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.

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.

What is the cost of an industrial security service?

The cost of an industrial safety service varies depending on the type of facility, the amount of machinery involved, and the complexity of the processes that need to be evaluated. There is no standard price, as each plant requires a different level of analysis and protection measures tailored to its specific risks. Factors such as available documentation, the condition of the equipment, and whether subsequent adjustments or improvements are necessary also influence the cost.

At Grupo TICE, we carry out an individual assessment of each case to offer a quote that is tailored and consistent with the company's actual needs. If you would like to know the approximate cost for your installation, we can guide you with an initial consultation and assess what type of intervention you require.

Do acoustic solutions require periodic maintenance?

Yes. Industrial acoustic solutions require periodic maintenance to ensure they continue to provide the intended level of attenuation. Components such as enclosures, absorbent panels, or anti-vibration systems can deteriorate with use, dust accumulation, or the conditions of the industrial environment.

A scheduled review allows for checking the condition of materials, adjusting supports or dampers, and ensuring that the installation maintains its acoustic and vibroacoustic performance in the long term. At Grupo TICE, we recommend establishing a maintenance plan tailored to each type of machinery and the plant's operating intensity.

How long does an industrial acoustic study take?

The duration of an industrial acoustic study depends on the size of the facility, the number of machines to be assessed, and the complexity of the issue. In most cases, noise and vibration measurements can be completed in a single day, while the technical analysis and report generation require additional time to process the data accurately.

In general, a comprehensive study is usually ready within a few days, offering a clear diagnosis and the necessary recommendations for implementing the most appropriate corrective measures.

Why is it important for a specialised company to carry out an industrial acoustic study or adaptation?

Noise and vibration problems in industry require precise technical analysis. A company specialising in industrial acoustic engineering has certified instrumentation, experience with machinery from various sectors, and the capability to design truly effective solutions.

Working with specialists ensures a reliable diagnosis, acoustic suitability that complies with regulations, and corrective measures that do not affect plant operations. Furthermore, it reduces the risk of implementing inefficient or insufficient solutions that do not resolve the root problem.

How much does an acoustic study or a vibration control solution cost for an industrial plant?

The cost of an industrial acoustic study depends on the size of the facility, the number of pieces of equipment to be evaluated, the complexity of the problem, and the type of solution required. There is no single price, as each plant presents different noise and vibration sources.

In general terms, the budget is calculated based on the necessary measurements, vibroacoustic analysis, design of corrective measures, and implementation of the solution.
