Future Markets
As Noizend grows and develops, we see Future Opportunities.
Infrastructure
Noizend’s products using ANC technology can effectively reduce noise in infrastructure and construction, creating a safer and healthier working environment. Infrastructure construction is one of the world’s biggest industries, such as rail networks, and major road works and airports such as Sydney’s second airport being built now.
Business owners potentially benefit from increased productivity and extended working hours for a quieter work place as well as positively impacting the surrounding community.
Reducing Industrial Noise From Small Sized Equipment
One example is air compressors which are used worldwide to efficiently operate various tools and machinery. These are very noisy. Reducing the noise of air compressors at source would provide a huge market advantage.
Jack hammers, grinders and other commercial equipment are all very irritating noises.
Other potential products we will aim to develop include making domestic gardening equipment like leaf blowers and lawn mowers quieter.
Reducing Hotel Noise Inside
Hotel rooms, many of which would benefit from reduced noise – both internally and externally from traffic and other noise coming in the window. Having quieter rooms would provide a significant advantage to the hotel owners including more customers and potentially higher room rates compared to their competitors who don’t have quieter rooms.
Reducing Industrial Noise From Large Scale Installations
Many large scale industrial installations are noisy. One example that is increasing is large scale battery storage for grid energy. As the world moves towards green energy it needs larger storage battery units. These units produce noise emissions while charging and discharging and one of the main culprits is the inverters (a device that converts direct current (such as from a solar panel) to alternating current (used in houses).
Reducing Industrial Noise From Equipment and Machinery
Noise can come from installed equipment such as in a manufacturing plant, or large scale air-conditioning units.
Excessive noise has a direct impact on workers and often the local community.
Other applications relate to individual heavy equipment in the field such as earth movers, graders and so on. Reducing this type of noise could allow for expanded working hours and greater revenues for businesses.
Reducing Helicopter Noise on Takeoffs and Landings
Another area that Noizend will investigate is to reduce the noise of a helicopter takeoff and landing. This is a more specialised R&D project.
Conceptually, a helipad would have microphones and then speakers 360 degrees spread around the landing pad to analyse and reduce the noise from the helicopter, mainly from its rotor blades. This would not only be good for airports but also other locations with helipads in built up areas such as hospitals and on top of buildings.
