Sound and Vibration focuses on guides and tests to manage the sound and vibration that comes from HVACR equipment.
Contractors charged with resolving complaints related to sound and vibration will find the first edition of SMACNAÆs HVAC Sound and Vibration Manual an in-depth HVAC-specific guide in the art of sound and vibration measurement and mitigation. This comprehensive book covers mechanical vibration, acoustical design of mechanical systems, sound generation and attenuations associated with ducts and fittings, mechanical equipment sound and vibration specifications and inspections, plus sound and vibration instrumentation and measurements.
This guide details methods and processes that, when followed, provide repeatable measurement and verification of sound and vibration (S&V) levels, as required by new and emerging building codes. Instrumentation standards, sound measurement procedures, vibration inspection methods, and vibration measurement procedures are included in the guide. Written for trained sound and vibration testing supervisors and technicians, this publication also is a useful aid to assist designers developing project specifications for sound and vibration testing requirements.
This standard describes the methods for equipment qualification and the process to determine equipment Seismic Capacity.

This standard provides the methodology for the determination of Sound Power Levels of noise sources that emit Broadband Sound and/or Discrete Frequency Sounds/Tones in reverberation rooms.
The purpose of this standard is to provide the methodology for the determination of Sound Power Levels of noise sources using the sound intensity method. The standard contains information on instrumentation, installation and operation of the source and procedures for the calculation of Sound Power Level.
