A data center of a major global payments company is a 370,000 square foot building that processes millions of electronic transactions from around the world. The 22 generator sets of 2.5 megawatts each are designed to work simultaneously, if necessary, to provide a total of 55 megawatts of backup power to run the data center. 

All silencers were omitted from the building at the design stage, leading to a noise control disaster. Without a noise control solution in place, sound levels created by the generator system reached 83 dBA at the property line, violating the county’s noise regulations of a maximum of 62 dBA.

How did Vibro-Acoustics come to solve the problem?
