Project description
Innovative technology to lower noise pollution
High levels of noise pollution are a direct result of rapid urbanisation and human activity. There is a rising demand for lower noise emissions, from society and regulators. The EU envisages a substantial reduction in noise emissions but existing acoustic materials are not effective barriers to the noise of vehicles and other modes of transport. These industries are seeking advanced and reliable technologies to face the increasing demands for noise reduction in urban environments. The EU-funded TANDEM project aims to develop an acoustic insulation metamaterial to effectively reduce noise pollution. This will allow the construction of smaller and lighter products for use in the construction, aerospace, energy, and vehicle sectors. TANDEM will complete its clean technology for market commercialisation.
