Noise Control Engineering, LLC

Noise Control Engineering is proud to have provided noise and vibration engineering services for the detailed design and construction of the ECO Edison: the first U.S. Jones-Act-compliant wind farm service operation vessel (SOV) ever built. NCE was bought on board by Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO) during the design phase to help meet noise and vibration goals through detailed analyses, development of the acoustic design, and compliance testing during sea trials. The ECO Edison, based in Rhode Island, is now servicing the developing New England wind farms. #noisecontrolengineering #noiseandvibrationdesign #offshorewind #windfarmvessel

Lights, camera, action! 📸 Thank you Maritime Reporter and Engineering News Greg Trauthwein for stopping by our booth to moderate a panel conversation with maritine engineering experts: 🌊Bob Lennon (Couplings, Regal Rexnord) 🌊Matthew Coombs (Soft Mounts, Christie & Grey) 🌊Jesse Spence (Noise Testing, Noise Control Engineering, LLC) This team has worked on numerous projects, including new innovative hybrid propulsion drives. As Matt said this morning, “Bob and I make the right products. But Jesse goes out on the boat to make sure it all works.” Can’t wait to share this insightful thought leadership in early 2025. Thanks Two Rivers Marketing Jake Swihart Emma Quilter for helping plan this, and thanks Aidan DeStefano for snapping these awesome photos. #WorkBoat #IWBS2024 #WorkBoat2024 #HybridVessels #Tugboats

We are excited to share that Noise Control Engineering made Marine Technology Reporter's annual list of top 100 companies and technologies in the subsea sector! This year, we redesigned our Buoy Acoustic Measurement System (BAMS™) to add flexibility and capability for underwater noise surveys. We also performed underwater noise testing during in-water construction using a variation of our BAMS™ technology to evaluate impacts to marine life during pile driving and extraction activities. The MTS100 highlights an impressive mix of organizations making substantial impacts in the industry, and we are proud to be included among them. Check out the latest issue of Marine Technology Reporter for the full list!  #marineindustry #subseasector #underwaternoise #noisecontrolengineering

Jesse Spence, president of Noise Control Engineering, is presenting at the SNAME Maritime Convention next week. Don’t miss his session with US Coast Guard Staff Engineer Carol Yin on Tuesday afternoon, which will discuss new concepts and design approaches to reducing underwater radiated noise and greenhouse gas emissions. If you’re interested in getting in touch during the conference, please reach out to us at inquiries@noise-control.com. We hope to see you there! #SMC2024 #SNAME #noisecontrolengineering #maritimeindustry

Noise Control Engineering is supporting a study for the Maritime Administration (MARAD)'s META program to analyze the potential for underwater noise reductions through the use of battery-electric propulsion systems on vessels. For the study, our team collected underwater noise data from three tugs in San Diego Harbor: two with conventional diesel-geared propulsion and a new vessel with battery-electric propulsion. The data will be processed to commercial standards, allowing for an overall assessment of noise and comparison to other vessels for a range of operating conditions. We are also identifying the sources of noise on board the tugs and how/why battery-electric vessels may be quieter than their diesel-geared counterparts. NCE is proud to be part of this effort to assess the co-benefits of low-emission designs and their potential to reduce impacts to marine life. #noisecontrolengineering #sustainable #underwaternoise

Congratulations to Crowley on the successful delivery of the eWOLF: the first all-electric, ship assist harbor tugboat in the US. Based in the Port of San Diego, the 82-foot tug features a design that allows for fully electric and emissions-free operations while maintaining the capabilities of a traditional ship assist tug. Noise Control Engineering assisted Crowley during the vessel’s design, predicting noise and vibration levels and providing recommendations for mitigation to ensure compliance and help Crowley meet their goals. NCE also performed noise and vibration testing during sea trials following construction at Master Boat Builders, Inc. We are fortunate to have contributed to this project and happy to work with Crowley to enhance sustainability in the maritime industry. #noisecontrolengineering #noiseandvibrationtesting #tug #sustainable

Noise Control Engineering is proud to be supporting Chantier Naval Forillon with the detail design and construction of the Canadian Coast Guard/Garde côtière canadienne’s first hybrid-electric vessel! The Near-Shore Fishery Research Vessel (NSFRV) is designed to reduce carbon emissions, fuel consumption, and underwater radiated noise. NCE is working with the shipyard on noise and vibration analyses and will perform testing during sea trials. The addition of this vessel to the coast guard represents an important move towards a more sustainable fleet and fulfilling Canada’s ambitions of a zero-emissions future. #noisecontrolengineering #noiseandvibrationdesign #underwaterradiatednoise 

Seaspan ULC is designing and building a new class of multi-purpose vessels (MPVs) at Vancouver Shipyards for the Canadian Coast Guard/Garde côtière canadienne and Noise Control Engineering is assisting with acoustics. Our work began during the basic design phase with noise and vibration predictions—a forecasting method which gives our client the opportunity to modify the design to correct any noise and vibration issues before the MPVs are built. As the design progresses, NCE is updating prediction results and providing treatment and outfitting recommendations. These noise control efforts will enable greater comfort, communication, and quality of life on board these versatile ships as they maintain Canada’s maritime corridors and provide emergency response throughout the region. #noisecontrolengineering #noiseprediction #acousticdesign #shipbuilding
