Sound Fighters’ absorptive noise barriers provide superior attenuation for natural gas compressors

Sound Fighter Systems’ LSE Absorptive Noise Barriers are proving to be a valuable noise mitigation tool for gas production companies. Recent field test data shows an average overall noise reduction of 23 dBA at 6’ outside the LSE barrier, and 15 dBA at 450’. This performance ranks amongst the highest for any peripheral outdoor noise barrier system.

"Our Oil & Gas customers are facing ever-restrictive noise abatement mandates in today’s market, and we have been working with them to design a peripheral noise barrier with the highest possible attenuation performance for their compression equipment." notes Murray Stacy, VP Sales & Marketing for Sound Fighter Systems. "Competition for mineral leases is fierce, and these companies aggressively and preemptively address noise concerns of prospective Lessors by offering-up the very best noise abatement technology available. Fortunately, our LSE System is now a proven solution for them."

The LSE System is a fully noise-absorptive outdoor noise barrier system designed for peripheral placement around gas compression and production equipment. Stacy adds, "What’s especially valuable to our Oil & Gas customers is that the LSE System eliminates the need for expensive, fully-enclosed insulated metal buildings in most cases. These buildings require mechanical ventilation systems which are very expensive to operate and maintain; not to mention the real potential for a catastrophic ventilation failure which can shut-down or even destroy their expensive production equipment. Reflective materials like brick, block, metal or concrete simply can’t match the noise-eliminating performance of the LSE’s absorptive design. It works, and it is saving our customers a lot of money and headaches."
