Tampa-based sound reduction company scores in Fenway Park

Innovative Tampa-based manufacturing company makes major league after closing deal with Fenway Park.

Acoustiblok is the inventor and manufacturer of noise attenuation products for the past 20 years. With its headquarters in Tampa, the company offers a full range of services to solve noise and vibration issues including infield problem identification, acoustical testing, design, engineering and installation support.

The company just celebrated a big win with the installation of its All Weather Sound Panels at Fenway Park. The panels were put in place to reduce noise coming from a chiller and other mechanical equipment. 

“Our patented panels are continuing to gain approval as an effective weapon against many types of industrial noise,” says Anne Knight of Acoustiblok, Inc. “All Weather Sound Panels were originally designed to withstand the harsh environments of offshore drilling rigs and considered to be the strongest sound panels anywhere.”

After the installation was completed at Fenway, sound meter results showed 81 decibals (dB) inside the enclosure and 64.4dB outside of the enclosure, a reduction of over 16dB.

“We’re not just a sound abatement products company; we are a noise solution company,” Founder and President of Acoustiblok, Lahnie Johnson stated in a press release. “We are very pleased with the success of the Fenway Park project.”

Johnson originally came to Tampa to work for Honeywell before starting Acoustiblok, which is a NASA spinoff company.

In addition to the installation of its sound panels at the famous ballpark, the local company has been involved in other major projects around the world. Other major projects include Cinema City in Beirut, Lebanon, MARTA in Atlanta, Georgia and ARTIS System in Brazil. For more information on the Fenway Park project, as well as the others, click here
