As AI infrastructure drives the rapid expansion of data centers, rooftop noise pollution is becoming impossible to ignore.
HVAC systems, backup generators and cooling equipment installed on rooftops all contribute to elevated noise levels making it essential to manage sound to meet local ordinances, zoning codes and expectations of neighboring businesses and residents.
Engineered for Noise Control. Built for Flexibility.
SoundGuard® by RoofScreen is designed to tackle noise challenges head-on.
It integrates seamlessly with rooftop equipment screens and works just as well for ground-level enclosures and other noise-sensitive areas.
SoundGuard® delivers serious acoustic performance while offering the same durability and design flexibility as our standard equipment screens.
Using a different framing system? SoundGuard® is also compatible with traditional HSS and many other framing solutions.
Tested, Targeted and Versatile
Tested to STC 38 and NRC 1.15, SoundGuard® features a perforated inner liner, mineral wool core and solid face panel that work together to contain and redirect noise.
SoundGuard® lets you place acoustic panels only where needed, reducing costs while maintaining a unified appearance with standard screen panels elsewhere.
A wide range of face panel options also makes it easy to match surrounding architecture and preserve visual consistency across the project. Looking for a different face panel option? We can integrate paneling from various suppliers to get just the look you are going for.
Case Study: OVHcloud Vint Hill Data Center
At the OVHcloud Vint Hill Data Center, SoundGuard® helped meet strict local sound regulations while maintaining a clean, consistent rooftop aesthetic. SoundGuard® panels and framing come with a 20-year warranty and, unlike ballasted sound walls, they won’t damage the roof over time or create leak risks.
Whether you’re planning new construction or retrofitting an existing site, SoundGuard® delivers a smarter, more architecturally integrated approach to noise control without sacrificing performance or design intent.
Built for What’s Next
As data centers scale to support AI workloads, sound compliance will only become more critical. SoundGuard® gives planners and architects a reliable, proven solution to manage that challenge with flexibility, durability and design freedom.
