Do you know why the elevators in our villas sometimes make noise?
Elevators have become an essential means of transportation in high-rise residential buildings. While fulfilling their basic transportation function, some high-end residences utilize modern decorating techniques to create visually and emotionally comfortable elevator spaces. However, as the space where people interact with the elevator, the space is relatively small due to functional and structural constraints. Furthermore, the enclosure on all sides can create a sense of oppression and suffocation, a problem that needs to be addressed in design. Villa elevator decor is more personalized, reflecting the owner's personal preferences, aesthetics, and career level. The interior design should complement the entire home. Doors should adopt the same opening design as those used in home interiors, and the color scheme and design should blend seamlessly into the overall home décor, creating a fresh, bright, and modern visual experience.
Elevator noise is primarily generated by the elevator main unit and the control cabinet in the machine room. This is a common situation. To conserve common space, developers often design the elevator machine room to share a common wall with the residents, or even connect the main wall of the residents' homes to the machine room. In these cases, staggered floor partitions are required to prevent noise interference. Elevator noise in this situation consists of two main components:
First, the elevator main unit (which primarily generates noise). The ceiling and walls of the top-floor residents' homes are directly connected to the elevator machine room. When the elevator starts and stops, the main unit brake extends and engages. The pulleys and the rotation of the elevator generate high-frequency vibration noise that is transmitted through the walls to the residents' homes on the top and second floors.
Second, the elevator control cabinet. Because the control cabinet is fixed to the machine room floor and rigidly connected to the wall, noise from contactor engagement and electromagnetic radiation during elevator operation is also transmitted through the floor to the residents' homes. This shows that elevator noise is not directly related to elevator quality, but is primarily caused by the architectural design of the load-bearing walls of the machine room.
