Data Centre Noise Control with Acoustic Infrastructure

Protecting health, safety and productivity while keeping data centres compliant

Data centres rely on mechanical systems, such as chillers, cooling towers, fans, backup generators, and plant rooms, to run without interruption. These systems produce continuous unwanted sound that can affect people on-site, disrupt neighbouring areas and put compliance at risk.

As demand for digital services increases, planning for noise control becomes an essential part of building and operating a data centre. Flexshield Group provides engineered acoustic infrastructure to manage plant noise and support reliable performance.

Acoustic panels and screens

Sonic System acoustic panels form sturdy enclosures and barriers around high-noise equipment. They lower sound transmission from chillers, pumps and cooling systems and help protect sensitive boundaries. For large installations, panels can be craned into position to reduce disruption and keep projects moving.

Acoustic doors

Sonic Access acoustic doors limit sound transfer at access points. Available in standard and fire-rated configurations, they achieve Rw ratings up to 52 dB. These doors are built to withstand vibration, impact and frequent use. This makes them a dependable choice for plant rooms and generator enclosures in data centres.

Acoustic louvres

Sonic Series acoustic louvres provide airflow while reducing noise. Used in air intakes, exhausts, and mechanical service areas, they allow ventilation without compromising acoustic control. This is especially important around cooling towers and HVAC systems.

Curtains and pipe lagging

Sonic Acoustic Curtains and pipe lagging offer flexible options for ductwork, exposed piping and complex layouts. These solutions are well-suited to retrofit projects where rigid structures are not practical.

Compliance, health, safety and productivity

All Flexshield acoustic products are tested by NATA and are built to meet EPA compliance standards. Manufactured in Australia, they are designed to perform in demanding conditions. Our team provides site assessments, acoustic modelling and installation support to ensure each solution meets project requirements. This approach protects the health and safety of workers, maintains productivity, and helps data centres avoid costly breaches.

Proven performance

Flexshield Group acoustic infrastructure has been installed in pump stations, water treatment plants and industrial facilities across Australia. These projects show measurable reductions in noise levels and improved compliance outcomes. This demonstrates what can be achieved in data centre environments.

Flexshield Group has over two decades of experience in industrial noise control. We deliver tailored, engineered solutions that perform safely, consistently and compliantly. For data centres facing plant noise challenges, we will make sure it is built right from the start.
