Standard Noise Braker® Test Data

 

Standard Noise Braker® Frequency Test

The following test data was made by two different companies on our Standard Noise Braker® plug.

The tests measured noise attenuation (reduction) at varying frequencies. Testing the frequencies is similar to comparing the noise reduction while you play the key of C at  varying locations on a piano keyboard.

Our proprietary Hocks Noise Braker® filter is used in other products, and while attenuation data should be similar, the test data on this site is for Hocks Noise Braker® units only.
