Abstract:
A unitary, skid-type sound attenuator assembly for simultaneously managing sound from multiple sources. The assembly may include a dedicated muffler for each sound source. In turn, each of these mufflers includes an outlet for directing sound toward a location such as between the various mufflers of the assembly so as to provide an added level of noise cancellation. Additionally, the assembly may include an attenuator at such a common central location for further noise reduction. The attenuator may also serve a filtering function, for example where the sound sources are engines and the assembly is utilized for managing exhaust therefrom such as in an oilfield environment.
