Rap - One Legacy
RAP-ONE (Room Acoustics Prediction and Occupational Noise Exposure), is an innovative easy-to-use designed for use by acoustics consultants, engineers, and industrial hygienists to analyze and manage sound in an industrial setting.
RAP-ONE quickly and precisely determines sound levels at every location in a room, the contribution of each sound source to these locations, and the noise dose level perceived by workers.
Industrial Noise Analysis
Often, when noise reduction treatments are applied, they do not produce the expected results. RAP-ONE eliminates this problem evaluating the efficiency of a treatment or of a treatment combination in real-time, before it is implemented.
Frequently asked questions that can be answered by RAP-ONE:
- What will the noise increase be if another machine is added?
- What will the impact of this new machine be on the noise doses levels perceived by workers?
- What will the noise reduction be if a silencer is installed on a vacuum cleaner or if I add an acoustic treatment is added to the ceiling?
- How can I be sure my noise reduction process is well structured?
The evaluation of the performance of various possible treatments is easy: simply apply the acoustic treatments being considered for the room using the Absorbing Panel or Acoustic Barrier tools and then click on the Calculate Noise Map button. The room’s new noise map displays the noise levels obtained with the added treatments. A similar process can be applied to the room’s noise sources (e.g, adding a silencer).
