Silentium's Active Noise Control Technology
Finally there is an improved, cost effective and efficient way to reduce mechanical fan noise with ANC "active noise control" technology! It is also referred to as ANR "active noise reduction" technology.
What does this technology do? Simply put, it generates a sound wave to cancel out an offending sound wave and is capable of reducing noise by up to 90% percent.
We feel that Silentium's "Silence in a Chip" technology is the wave of the future for noise control.

Imagine The Following.........
- Imagine yourself relaxing in your backyard in the summer time and your neighbor's air conditioner condenser kicks on, but instead of becoming noisy, and you can hardly hear it! How much nicer that would be for you.
- Imagine when you are watching TV and the furnace kicks on, but instead of having to turn the volume up....the furnace stays quiet and you don't even notice it.
- Imagine that the major mechanical equipment you manufacture or specify no longer generates so much noise that extensive noise attenuation is necessary.
- Imagine flying on an airplane and you no longer have to be exposed to the loud engine noise during the flight...and you don't have to wear headphones...the technology is embedded in the headrest!
- Have you ever gotten in your car in the morning and when you turn it on, the radio is blaring? Imagine that the headrest of your car has technology built into it so that your space is much quieter and you can carry on a conversation, hear the radio, but not the loud engine noise.
- How about all that noise that comes from your range hood in the kitchen? Imagine that when you turn it on, it is whisper quiet instead of sounding like a small jet engine?
These are just a few of the applications!
Silentium is the leading innovator in the field of embedded Active Noise Control (ANC) solutions. Silentium's "Silence in a Chip", ANC solutions - contain unique cutting edge technologies that are embedded by product makers (OEMs & ODMs) in a wide range products.
This micro chip technology is programmable and would be incorporated during the manufacturing stage of any type of mechanical equipment that generates noise so that we can all have a quieter world!
If you deal with HVAC noise, we feel certain that you will be interested in knowing about the possibilities of this technology and how when it is incorporated into a system design, can reduce noise and help save you money.
In addition to quieting mechanical fan noise, Silentium offers their revolutionary " Quiet Bubble".
Silentium's Quiet Bubble technology is based on their proprietary Zone to Zone Active Noise Control. The noise control produces an opposing signal at the same amplitude but with the opposite plan as the intrusive noise, providing a significant reduction of noise level.
Quiet Bubble 1 used with a headset reduces the noise between 14dB(A)-23Db(A). A standard passive headset combined with Silentium's active technology allows for noise reduction up to 30dB(A).
Quiet Bubble 2 does not need headphones. It reduces ambient noise 14dB(A) within an individual zone helping to reduce stress in a work environment.
Silentium's technology can be used for the HVAC, IT and automotive industries, to name only a few.
The innovation is this: With speakers and mircophones, one sound can cancel out the other sound, resulting in significant noise reduction of fan generated noise. To Learn More...

How Can Active Noise Reduction Technology Help You?
"Silence in a Chip."
Noise pollution from a wide range of electronic and mechanical equipment can cause stress, impaired hearing and communication, and adversely affects productivity and health. Silentium's active noise control solutions contain unique, cutting edge technology, that is both compact and cost effective, delivering more than 10dB(A) noise reduction (50-90%) across the entire audio spectrum.
Silentium's Active Noise Control solutions can be applied to a myriad of applications for fan generated noise in IT, HVAC (residential, commercial, and automotive), medical equipment, small appliances (dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, etc.), and noisy kitchen range hoods.
Using Silentium's efficient, and cost-effective technology, the same basic design and components may be customized to the specific needs of many different large or small applications.
