Looking For Vibration Test Booth Design/Purchase

[JaYmZ]

I'm trying to find out how to build or where to buy a small, sound dampening structure to house a vibration/shock tester.  The dimensions need to be very close to 8'9" by 6'4", about 8' tall.  Should be as thin as possible.  If anyone knows of a website which sells or build these type of chambers, please let me know.  I'd also be interested in aquiring plans to build one.

The Sound & Vibration magazine occasionally has vendor ads for these types of booths.<br><br>Sound & Vibration<br>PO Box 40416<br>Bay Village OH 44140<br>tel (440) 835-0101<br>fax (440) 835-9303<br><br>Sincerely, Tom Irvine<br><A HREF="

You need to provide a lot more information for an answer.&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you trying to contain the noise? or keep it out?&nbsp;&nbsp;Does the tester generate significant vibration which is transmitted to the floor?&nbsp;&nbsp;What is the sound level of the tester? What do you want it reduced to?&nbsp;&nbsp;What are the sound levels in each octave band frequency?<br><br>Most enclosure ads are for companies trying to sell you an enclosure, they won't be too helpful in giving you the plans.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you want to build one, I may be able to help if you provide the above information, but please note that a successful enclosure is in the details.&nbsp;&nbsp;Anyone can build a box which may or may not be satisfactory, but it takes skill and experience to build a high performance sound enclosure.<br><br>If you don't have the above information, then ball park it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is the noise high or low frequency?&nbsp;&nbsp;Is it impulsive (sharp, short duration) noise, or is it continuous?<br><br>Sorry for all the questions, but its the only way.
