Home Appliance Noise Reduction with a Composite Made of Waste Tire Crumb and Epoxy Resin: A Case Study
摘要
An improvement in living standards has led to a rise in the variety and frequency of usage of domestic appliances and amenities in residential areas. Due to their open layout, indoor appliances including refrigeratorsRefrigerator, washing machinesWashing machine, vacuum cleanersVacuum cleaner, mixing grinders, and cooking utensils greatly impact the noise level of adjacent interior spaces. From the perspective of home designers, efforts should also be made to control the source level of interior equipmentEquipment and to enhance the noise environmentEnvironment. There hasn't been enough effort put into this, and there hasn't yet been a plan put forth to address the issues or the state of the noisy indoor equipment in homes. The goal of this study is to find a designDesign plan for soundSound insulation and absorption that can enhance the indoor noise environment, which has gotten worse as a result of more indoor equipmentEquipment. The material utilized in noise control applications needs to have high damping and sound absorption qualitiesQuality. The innovative substance created from discarded tire crumbTire crumb, which is inexpensive and easily accessible, has been the focus of the writers' attention in this study for its noiseNoise control applications. WasteWaste tire crumb felt has good sound-absorbing qualities based on its physical, thermal, mechanical and acoustical characteristics. It has been utilized to reduce noise in vacuum cleaners, mixture grinders, and home clothes dryers. These appliances' noise sources were ranked according to the strength of the radiated sound they produced. The created waste tire crumb compositeComposite resulted in an overall reductionReduction of radiated noise levels of 3 dBDecibels (dB) and 10 dB in the vacuum cleanerVacuum cleaner, mixer grinderMixer grinder, and washing machineWashing machine, respectively.
