Acoustics Requirements
The acoustics of a carparking system is important and we sit down with our customers, design the system around the acoustic needs to ensure it meets Australian Standards. We also ensure that the neighbouring buildings aren’t going to be disturbed by the noise and also all the apartments above the system aren’t going to be disturbed by the system while in operation.
As an example watch the video below, we’ve got a hydraulic system behind Robert, it is a 9kW unit, extremely quiet. It is lifting 2.5 tonne up a 12 metre lift shaft and it is barely louder than his voice. The residents aren’t going to be disturbed, the neighbouring buildings aren’t going to be disturbed, we can tick off everything with council to get your building through DA.
How much noise does the equipment generate when in operation?
As every building is different in both its design and construction, this is impossible to quantify for every application. As a rule of thumb only, most of our car parking equipment will not generate noise greater than 5 dB above ambient levels. For those customers who need more accurate and definitive readings for their project, we encourage them to obtain a professional Audiometry report from a qualified consultant.
