Yes, our trash can factory offers comprehensive sound-dampening features for our metal cans. We understand that the sharp clang of a metal lid or the rattle of discarded items can be disruptive in offices, hospitals, hotels, and even residential settings. To address this, we have engineered multiple noise-reduction solutions directly into the manufacturing process.

First, every metal can we produce can be outfitted with a high-density acoustic liner. This liner is made from recycled sound-absorbing fibers that are applied to the interior walls and bottom of the can. When objects are dropped inside, the impact energy is absorbed rather than reverberated, reducing noise by up to 12 decibels compared to unlined metal cans.

Second, our lids feature a patented dampening ring. This ring is constructed from a soft yet durable thermoplastic elastomer that fits snugly around the rim of the can. It not only creates a tight seal to contain odors but also eliminates the metallic ring that typically occurs when a lid is dropped or closed. In addition, we install rubber bumpers on the base of each can, which prevent scraping sounds when the can is dragged across floors and reduce vibrations from internal impacts.

Third, we offer optional sound-dampening hinges and damped lid closures for hands-free or foot-pedal models. These components use a pneumatic piston to slow the lid's descent, ensuring it closes silently. For commercial use, we can also add a multi-layer composite layer between the outer metal shell and an inner plastic lining, further isolating noise while maintaining the structural strength of a metal can.

All of these sound-dampening features are tested in our in-house acoustic laboratory. We measure the sound pressure level before and after the modifications to guarantee consistent quality. Our metal cans still retain their fire resistance, durability, and recyclability, but with a dramatically quieter user experience.

We offer different levels of dampening depending on your needs: the Standard Quiet, the Pro Silent, and the Ultra Noise-Absorbing series. Whether you need a single can for a home office or a fleet for a large facility, we can customize the sound-dampening package at the factory level.
