Product Overview
Overview
ZeroSound digital noise suppression panels actively cancel noise, reducing noise by up to 92% in both outdoor and indoor environments. Rather than a passive system that relies on sound damping materials to shut out background noise, ZeroSound's technology actively cancels sound waves while collecting data -- allowing a more proactive management of the noise in an environment.
Designed for both fixed infrastructure (e.g., transformer stations, data centers) and mobile operations (e.g., drilling or fracking sites), each unit includes two panels, four microphones, and a proprietary control system. These systems are portable, weather-resistant, and configurable for temporary or permanent installations, and can be placed onsite or on receptor properties depending on noise targets.
Business Model
The digital noise suppression panels are sold on a per unit basis or as part over an overall project bid.
Technology Innovations
ZeroSound's solution is software-enabled hardware, combining real-time digital signal processing with durable environmental engineering. Key innovations include:
- Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) by up to 92% (-35 dB) across 80–2000 Hz (with work ongoing to expand to 45 Hz), targeting human-audible nuisance frequencies as well as animal-sensitive ranges.
- Proprietary hardware that operates in extreme conditions (cold, humidity, wind) with no moving parts, enabling consistent performance.
- Integration with site modeling tools to build digital twins and optimize panel placement for maximum suppression effect.
Applications
ZeroSound addresses issues of noise pollution and noise hygiene/safety by creating noise suppression panels that can be scaled in usage for both indoor and outdoor applications for Urban Infrastructure, Industrial, Energy & Extraction, Rail & Logistics, Facilities and Emergency Services markets in following areas:
- Oil & Gas: Drilling and frac operations near sensitive receptors (e.g., farms, wildlife) where dynamic, real-time noise needs to be managed.
- Utilities: Substations, transformers, and high-load electrical infrastructure in urban or suburban environments.
- Energy Storage & Data Centers: Emerging demand from cooling systems and HVAC-related noise from BESS and hyperscale computing.
- Construction & Logistics: Temporary noise zones during urban infrastructure build-outs.
- Wildlife-sensitive Projects: Supporting environmental compliance in noise-sensitive habitats (e.g., caribou migration zones).
