INC® Chassis Dyno Test Cell - Nostrum High Performance in Ann Arbor, Michigan

Nostrum High Performance is a highly sought-after performance car parts retailer and manufacturer, well-known for developing, among other products, combustion systems and fuel and water injector solutions through extensive thermodynamic and fluid dynamic development. With the rapid growth of the company, Nostrum moved its location from several locations in downtown Ann Arbor to a single consolidated campus with all business functions operating in a single facility, including new dynamometer testing and vehicle development capabilities. This new capacity to conduct performance testing on high horsepower vehicles was also in close proximity of other businesses as well as a children’s academy. A challenge? Maintaining reasonable noise levels outside the host building.

Solution
IAC Acoustics was referred to for a solution that would meet production and sound requirements. The offering? A test cell constructed of IAC’s STC45 Noise-Lock® II panel system. To accommodate the specific needs of the site, the test cell also contained a 10’ by 10’ Noise-Lock STC 51 vehicle entry door and multiple viewing windows. Rounding out the custom solution, IAC Acoustics provided a custom-engineered ventilation system to protect neighboring businesses.
