Cabinet to facilitate noise reduction

Abstract

Present disclosure provides a cabinet for housing electronic components and a method of manufacturing a wall panel associated with the cabinet. The cabinet includes a plurality of walls defining an enclosure. A wall of the cabinet includes a first sheet and a second sheet substantially coextensive with and spaced-apart from the first sheet to form an interlayer region. The interlayer region contains an interlayer medium configured to inhibit transmission of sound from the interior of the enclosure to the exterior. The interlayer medium may be a vacuum cavity or a compressed sound-absorbing material. The multilayer wall construction preserves mechanical robustness while enabling significant noise reduction without necessitating changes to internal component layout. The cabinet is suitable for electronic equipment that generates operational noise, such as fan-cooled systems, and can be implemented in full or selectively on one or more walls to meet acoustic performance targets.
