  2. The Hum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hum

    A year later, multiple sources for the hum were identified in Darmstadt: two faulty air conditioner units, a faulty heat pump, and three structural noise protection measures on energy generation plants. [16] In 2022, hums were reported in St. Louis County, Missouri and surrounding areas. [17] In 2023, a hum was reported in Omagh in Northern ...

  3. Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically...

    The torsional deflection of a simple cylinder cannot radiate efficiently acoustic noise, but with particular boundary conditions the stator can radiate acoustic noise under torque ripple excitation. [8] Structure-borne noise can also be generated by torque ripple when rotor shaft line vibrations propagate to the frame [9] and shaft line.

  4. Sound attenuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_attenuator

    A sound attenuator, or duct silencer, sound trap, or muffler, is a noise control acoustical treatment of Heating Ventilating and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) ductwork designed to reduce transmission of noise through the ductwork, either from equipment into occupied spaces in a building, or between occupied spaces.

  5. Air handler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_handler

    An air handler, or air handling unit (often abbreviated to AHU), is a device used to regulate and circulate air as part of a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning system. [1] An air handler is usually a large metal box containing a blower , furnace or A/C elements, filter racks or chambers, sound attenuators , and dampers . [ 2 ]

  6. Compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

    2 of these compressors can be mounted on the same shaft to increase capacity and reduce vibration and noise. [14] A design without a spring is known as a swing compressor. [15] In refrigeration and air conditioning, this type of compressor is also known as a rotary compressor, with rotary screw compressors being also known simply as screw ...

  7. HVAC control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVAC_control_system

    HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) equipment needs a control system to regulate the operation of a heating and/or air conditioning system. [1] Usually a sensing device is used to compare the actual state (e.g. temperature) with a target state. Then the control system draws a conclusion what action has to be taken (e.g. start the ...

  8. Background noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_noise

    Background noise is a form of noise pollution or interference. Background noise is an important concept in setting noise levels. Background noises include environmental noises such as water waves, traffic noise, alarms, extraneous speech, bioacoustic noise from animals, and electrical noise from devices such as refrigerators, air conditioning ...

  9. Mains hum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_hum

    Mains hum, electric hum, cycle hum, or power line hum is a sound associated with alternating current which is twice the frequency of the mains electricity.The fundamental frequency of this sound is usually double that of fundamental 50/60 Hz, i.e., 100/120 Hz, depending on the local power-line frequency.
