What's the Best Solution?

"How do you isolate the best vibration solution ?" Well the first step is to attack the source directly and that chart is useful, but I find that it is usually a multi faceted approach that usually works.

Sound waves resonating from the source travel through vibration and contact, but also resonating through the air etc. and isolation is the first step. I have found that especially in commercial or industrial applications, acoustic treatment may be needed as well.

Recently i had to isolate industrial vacuums in NYC that were heard from three floors above. I had to isolate them as well as the piping throughout the shop, and provide acoustical treatment in the room itself. http://www.csoulpro.com/Industrial_Noise_Reduction.html
