Schweigen: Noise – the Invisible Killer

While it may seem that noise isn’t a serious health concern, the health impacts of noise pollution are actually a growing concern. Noise pollution can have a major impact on our lives and health. It can annoy us and disrupt our sleep, making it harder to work during the day and leaving us less focused.

Evidence from the World Health Organisation (WHO) 2011 report indicates that those prolonged exposed to high levels of environmental noise can lead to stress, contributing towards high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. Thus, noise pollution is considered not only an environmental nuisance, but also a threat to public health.

Schweigen designs rangehoods that not only generate incredible extraction power but do so as quietly and efficiently as possible. To achieve this, Schweigen started by sourcing the quietest and most powerful domestic extraction fan available, and integrated the German-made, centrifugal fan technology into a Schweigen-designed motor system called the Isodrive®.

However, even the quietest motor and fan generates noise. So, having it vibrate noisily inside a rangehood canopy didn’t make sense. This is why Schweigen silent rangehoods have their Isodrive® motors installed externally of homes through the roof, wall or eave  with acoustically-matched, right-sized flexible ducting.

Noise the invisible killer Schweigen is the only 100% Australian owned company behind bestselling silent rangehoods that support Australian manufacturing and jobs. Their profits remain in Australia, supporting our local economy. Designing Australia’s most efficient silent rangehoods, Schweigen have built a reputation by providing innovative, stylish and premium appliances for every household.
