Hill Hiker® Inclined Elevator systems are designed to operate at an ambient noise level that is unobtrusive to the surrounding environment (arounds 60 decibels, which is about the same level as a normal conversation or background music). That being said, the noise level of the system varies based on factors such as the size and type of drive system as well as the distance from the system.
Distance From Drive System – Noise Level
2ft – 63dB
5ft – 55dB
10ft – 49dB
15ft – 45.5dB
20ft – 43dB
25ft – 41dB
30ft – 39.5dB
NOTES:
Max decibel readings shown based on a residential 5hp WD drive system.
Max readings occur during the short startup period when the elevator begins to move.
Noise figures are general and may vary.
Many factors such as motor housings, insulation, landscaping, foundation types, etc. can further reduce max noise levels.
