Active Acoustic Engineers

What Active Acoustic Engineers does

Active Acoustic Engineers is an India-based, privately held manufacturer of industrial and architectural noise control products founded in 1996. The company designs, fabricates, and installs custom acoustic enclosures, anechoic/NVH test chambers, acoustic louvers, sound attenuators, outdoor noise barriers, temporary construction noise barriers, sound baffles, sliding/movable wall partitions, acoustic and blast-resistant doors, acoustic foam, and complete industrial room soundproofing systems. Products are engineered to international standards (ISO 3744/3745, ISO 9001-2015, BS 476 Part-22, IS 3614 Part-II) with documented performance specifications including up to 55 dB(A) noise reduction, 50–55 STC ratings, 99.99% acoustic energy absorption above 80 Hz in anechoic chambers, and blast resistance from 0.75 to 25 bar.

The firm operates from three Indian regional offices (Chennai as headquarters, Mumbai, and Faridabad) and a 36,000 sqft integrated manufacturing facility in India that handles sheet metal processing, welding, chemical treatment, in-house powder coating, and woodworking under one roof. Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven sales of custom-engineered products and acoustic consulting/survey services to enterprise clients. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with the website and blog content serving top-of-funnel lead generation, and distribution reaching India plus Gulf Countries, Africa, and Europe. Named customers include NTPC, Tata, Hindalco, Indian Oil, ITC, LG, Jindal, BHEL, Essar, and Maruti Suzuki, spanning power, steel, oil & gas, consumer goods, electronics, and automotive verticals.

The business is small in headcount (7 employees disclosed) relative to its asset base and project portfolio, which together with 500+ completed projects and 485+ clients over 24 years suggests a lean, owner-operated manufacturing model. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed, and revenue figures are not reported. The product mix combines one-time hardware sales with limited professional services revenue from acoustic surveys and consultancy, and there is no disclosed software, subscription, or recurring-revenue component to the model.

Product overview

Active Acoustic Engineers is an India-based manufacturer and installer of industrial and architectural noise control products founded in 1996. The product portfolio consists of physical acoustic hardware rather than a software platform. Core products include Acoustic Enclosures (modular metal-panel noise enclosures for DG sets, compressors, and industrial machines, engineered for 25–45+ dB(A) reduction and 50 STC value), Anechoic/NVH Test Chambers (modular acoustic chambers for free-field testing up to 15 dB(A) background noise), Acoustic Louvers (weather-resistant ventilation panels with 15–30 dB(A) noise reduction), Sound Attenuators (rectangular splitter silencers for HVAC and industrial ducts), Noise Barriers (absorptive and reflective outdoor sound walls for highways and railways), Temporary Noise Barriers (mobile acoustic curtains for construction sites), Sound Baffles (ceiling-hung absorbers with NRC ratings up to 1.3), Sliding Partitions (movable wall panels up to 55 dB(A) acoustic performance), Acoustic Doors (single/double leaf up to 55 dB(A)), Blast Resistant Doors (steel doors rated 0.75–25 bar blast overpressure, fire-rated up to 180 minutes), Acoustic Foam (P.U. foam panels in various profiles), Industrial Room Soundproofing (complete GI-framework room treatments), and Chiller/Cooling Tower Noise Control solutions. Products are distributed domestically and internationally from manufacturing facilities in India.
