Compressors are noisy. What options do I have for a quieter system?

If you are looking for a compressor for a brand-new installation, consider one from our “Q Series—Quiet Compressors.” These compressors have acoustic hoods over the head unit to dampen the sound and create a more pleasant ambience in the clinic, where the plant room may be close to patient areas. If you have an AC100, AC200, or AC300, you can look at adding a purpose-built acoustic cabinet. An acoustic cabinet reduces the sound of the compressor by 20-23 dBA (model dependent), has indoor or outdoor installation options, withstands rain and direct sunlight, and includes a built-in fan to help ventilate the compressor. There are more options to reduce plant room noise. Contact Cattani for additional options.
