RE: Isolation Pads
Thanks for your feedback. I know that the manufacturer would be able to guide me in this, however, I would like to know how to calculate and find out which isolation pad would be the best for some of our machinery equipment. If you can tell me i would really appreciate your help. Till now i did my own research and found some good material however, I'm inexperienced in this area so certain things i'm not sure about them. Thanks in advance.
This document is full of formulas however, don't know which should i use to find out the best isolation pad for our machinery to reduce noise and vibration. Link

RE: Isolation Pads
The transmissibility equations on P3 are applicable if this theory is correct.

RE: Isolation Pads
Doesn't your other, earlier post say you problem is excessive noise?

RE: Isolation Pads
I'm not sure some basic stuff has been determined yet. As Greg L pointed out the isolation pads would only help if a significant amount of the "noise" is the result of structureborne vibration from the bowl feeders causing the floor to vibrate and be an effective loudspeaker.
When Kneeling and feeling the floor near the feeders is there perceptible vibration? Depending on the frequency of the noise, the vibration of the panel or object making the noise would feel like a buzz or tingle.
The unaswered frequency questions RE; both vibration and sound would make me most reluctant to apply any treatement or correction. Batting while blindfolded results in very few base hits and fewer home runs.
