Turning Down the Sound: Identifying Causes of and Preventing Pump Noise

May 26, 2023
This piece reviews the many pump- and environment-related factors that contribute to noise generation, then tackles what can be done to mitigate noise through design modifications and with accessories. Potential trade-offs are also explored.

Regardless of size, application, or medium, noise can be a challenge for anyone using a pump. But what causes this noise in diaphragm pumps? And what if anything can be done to mitigate it? This piece reviews the many pump- and environment-related factors that contribute to noise generation. For designers that use pumps in their systems, it then explores how to prevent noise through design modifications and accessories. Potential trade-offs are also explored.
