A Practical Guide to Noise and Vibration Control for HVAC Systems
Mark E. Schaffer's A Practical Guide to Noise and Vibration Control for HVAC Systems, SECOND EDITION. Building design teams have become more aware of the potential noise and vibration problems caused by HVAC systems over the last few decades. Sound traps (duct silencers), acoustical louvres, sound-absorbing duct liners, and vibration isolators are specified by mechanical engineers, while architects design mechanical room walls and slabs with high sound transmission class (STC) ratings.

Despite the inclusion of noise and vibration control features in an increasing number of building designs, complaints about excessive HVAC system noise and vibration remain common. Acoustical professionals investigating these complaints discovered that, in many cases, the correct equipment and materials were used, but they were not properly integrated.
