Anechoic Test Chambers
We work with you to understand your needs and our comprehensive service means we deliver the optimum acoustic test facility for you, by designing a building which is fit for purpose, utilises the available space effectively and performs to your specified criteria.
With over 60 years combined experience in designing and installing acoustic test facilities, we have extensive industry relationships. We work closely with some of the best product suppliers globally and international dynamometer companies, ensuring you the highest quality acoustic testing facilities on the market.

Semi-Anechoic Chambers
Although some design issues are overcome with semi-anechoic chambers, facilities are usually large in size and have complex requirements to suit the product being examined. In the case of taking acoustic measurements for a large generator as an example, it is not simply a case of placing the item in the middle of the lab and taking the necessary measurements. The following are just some of the elements which enable such a facility to operate effectively:
Silent ventilation system capable of passing large volumes of air into the hemi-anechoic chamber when an engine is running
Fuel system for powering the generator whilst on test
A silenced extraction system for removing all of the noxious fumes from the enclosure
Heating / cooling system to ensure that a constant temperature and humidity are kept inside the chamber to get the most consistent results
A control and monitoring system for engineers to use to effectively run the hemi-anechoic chamber
All the above (and many more possible options) need to be carefully considered at the planning stage of the hemi-anechoic enclosure in order to get the best possible results for the end-user.

Anechoic Refurbishment & Repairs
A high percentage of our Anechoic Chamber work is refurbishment of testing facilities over 10 years old, modernising with next-gen acoustic wedges, high quality lighting, improved ventilation and acoustic doors. We refurbish acoustic chambers to the highest standards that your budget will allow, complying with all modern day standards whilst improving accessibility, usability and aesthetics.

Anechoic Chambers
At QuietStar we use wedges in the construction of our anechoic chambers, as these have been proven to absorb sound waves better than flat panels. The more absorption, the better the results for any research and development. Depending on what is being examined in the laboratory, access to the anechoic room may be via an acoustically transparent floor, or hung from wires / harness points located on the inner surfaces. For heavy or bulky items, our chambers can also be designed with a structural steel meshed floor to allow items to be manoeuvred into place with ease. QuietStar has even designed chambers with mechanically retractable floors which allow people to walk around the chamber and set up acoustic experiments and then once they are outside, simply retract the floor to maintain the absorbent finish.

Acoustic Doors
Due to our in-house design and our efficient production capabilities, we have competitive lead times for all of our products, in fact, some of the fastest in the market. So you can have peace of mind that your bespoke soundproof door will be delivered to site on time.

Industrial Acoustic Doors

Steel Acoustic Doors

Timber Acoustic Doors
At QuietStar our timber soundproof doors are supplied as complete assemblies including frame, doorleaf, seals and a choice of ironmongery. This makes them perfectly suitable for music studios, TV editing booths, office spaces, commercial sectors and residential buildings alike.

Acoustic Fire Doors
30, 60, 90 and 120 minute integrity ratings are obtainable across the range, certified to BS476.
30, 60, 90 and 120 minute insulation performances are also achievable, certified to EN1634.

Acoustic Windows
Using multiple panes of glass, ranging from 6.8mm to 25mm for individual glass sheets, the soundproofing performance capabilities are huge. Using a unique timber frame system that is decoupled from the host wall to minimise the potential for vibration isolation, the design helps in ensuring the best possible acoustic seal for soundproof windows. A combination of different pane thicknesses and varying air gaps are used for studio windows and glazed screens depending on the host wall thickness, its construction and the required acoustic performance for studio sound insulation.

Fire-Rated Acoustic Windows
Glazing units can be manufactured up to 4 metres high with almost limitless widths meaning limitations are only met by standard glass sizes. QuietStar offer a range of different glass types to complement the insulation and integrity ranges of the frames.
In terms of acoustic performance, our range of fire-rated windows, these can be matched to our standard acoustic window range. With a maximum acoustic performance of around 70dB for standard wall thicknesses, most applications should be catered for by our standard range.
All of our acoustic fire windows are constructed as double-glazed units with the fire-rated glass on the critical side of the opening whilst the other is typically sealed using standard laminated safety glass of a suitable thickness to accommodate the acoustic requirement.

Acoustic Rooms
As well as these production suites we also cater for professional musician’s rehearsal requirements, supplying music practice facilities such as music studios, soundproof music practice pods, performance rooms and modular rehearsal spaces.
Within the healthcare sector we frequently service the hearing testing division, supplying an extensive selection of audiology booths and audiometric testing chambers, for which we are able to offer a choice of bespoke features. All our hearing test booths and cabins comply with European and international standards and have a guaranteed acoustic performance.
At QuietStar our team has the experience to provide the very best balance between acoustic performance, quality and value.

Industrial Noise Control
Industrial acoustics covers a wide range of requirements and specifications. We recognise that certain projects require greater flexibility, depending on whether your structure is static and permanent or mobile and temporary, such as noisy construction work, which may involve scaffolding. Therefore we offer both fixed and temporary acoustic solutions.
All of our industrial noise control products can be used as standalone items for specific applications, such as soundproofing noisy machinery, or be combined with other products, for example our acoustic doors and acoustic windows to offer a fully tailored industrial noise control service. We can also provide acoustic louvres, when soundproofing factory noise where ventilation is required, as is the case when sound-insulating generators, turbines and transformers.
For all of our industrial acoustic projects, QuietStar is able to offer a full turnkey service including project management, design, civil works and take on the role of lead contractor.

Acoustic Barriers

Calculated performance
All of our acoustic barriers are manufactured using modular components which are designed with acoustic performance in mind. Whilst functional, aesthetics also play a vital role in selecting the best possible solution. Panels can be designed to match an existing building façade using different colours and finishes. Predominately manufactured using an all steel construction, QuietStar also recognise that other materials are more suited to certain conditions and can accommodate requirements as such.

Acoustic Enclosures
Manufactured with an all-steel rugged construction, our industrial acoustic products are not only durable enough to withstand the test of time, but also perform to noise reduction specification. The modular construction of acoustic pods means that multiple sized sound-insulated rooms can be built to almost any size by utilising structural steel as required.

Acoustic Louvres
Acoustic louvres are a popular choice for shielding noisy chillers, generators, compressors, turbines, condensers and transformers. Aspects of such noisy machinery, for instance the need for airflow, often prevent the use of solid barriers. The blades found in QuietStar louvres are tightly packed with sound absorbing material, so reduce airborne noise and are an ideal alternative to a solid acoustic barrier which may cause machinery to overheat or operate inefficiently. Typically supplied in modular format, this helps with both the design and installation, meaning the overall size of your louvre can be accommodated by utilising a combination of units.
About us
Moreover, we offer sound-insulating products designed for specialised acoustic environments. QuietStar complies with all relevant regulations, ensuring that our products meet the highest standards for both acoustic performance and design quality. We frequently create tailored acoustic environments for TV production rooms, radio studios, voiceover booths, as well as vehicle testing and audiology facilities.
