High-pressure air systems inherently generate turbulent fan noise, which can result in elevated sound levels within occupied spaces. This is among the most common HVAC-related concerns and can significantly impact overall occupant comfort.

Luckily, Price offers a variety of high-pressure, custom silencer solutions that are engineered to mitigate sound by targeting specific frequencies.

Price’s duct silencers have a distinct advantage over typical options through their welded internal construction, validated performance data and straightforward installation. The welded internal baffles enhance structural rigidity, enabling a 22-gauge snap-lock seam to perform reliably in systems operating at up to 10 inches of static pressure, with minimal leakage. This design ensures effective noise attenuation and maintains the structural integrity required for demanding high-pressure applications – all at a competitive cost.

Price silencers are available in a broad range of widths, heights and lengths to align seamlessly with ductwork requirements. This flexibility allows for direct integration into system layouts without the need for excessive transitions or field modifications, improving installation efficiency while supporting optimal acoustic and airflow performance.

If you are interested in using silencers in your next project, reach out to your local Price representative.
