A business jet cabin should sound just as good as it looks. From tightening up loose ends to immersive audio, these products could help your next flight sound a little sweeter.


A Quiet Place (In The Sky)

Company: Luminary Air Group

Known for producing the “quietest Boeing Business Jet interior cabin in the world,” Luminary Air Group (LAG) offers sound insulation kits for a wide range of business aircraft. Using damping, absorption and mufflers, LAG’s insulation kits include pre-cut and sorted sound-dampening foam to be installed within aircraft walls. According to LAG, its kits are balanced to achieve the most efficient sound reduction while adding the least amount of weight. Customers can install the company’s kit personally, hire an LAG project manager for on-site support or use a third-party vendor. https://marketplace.aviationweek.com/suppliers/luminary-air-group/  


Good Vibrations

Company: Enidine

All aircraft are susceptible to loose screws, fasteners or other parts—creating a symphony of rattling noise once you are in the air. Enidine’s suite of vibration isolation mounts tackle the issue at the source by using elastomeric materials to dampen vibrations. According to the company, its custom-made products can help an aircraft run smoothly by absorbing kinetic energy and reducing mechanical stress in a variety of applications. Typical applications for the product include sidewall, dado, ceiling and interior trim panels—improving noise attenuation performance from the inside out. https://marketplace.aviationweek.com/suppliers/itt-enidine-inc/
