What is the noise level of the casters on a mid back mesh chair?

As a supplier of mid back mesh chairs, I often receive inquiries from customers about various aspects of our products. One question that has been coming up more frequently lately is about the noise level of the casters on our mid back mesh chairs. In this blog post, I'll delve into this topic to provide you with a comprehensive understanding.

Factors Affecting Caster Noise

The noise level produced by the casters on a mid back mesh chair can be influenced by several factors. First and foremost, the material of the caster plays a crucial role. There are different types of caster materials available in the market, such as nylon, rubber, and polyurethane.

Nylon casters are known for their durability and relatively smooth movement. They can roll easily on hard surfaces like tile or hardwood floors. However, they tend to produce a clicking or clattering sound, especially when moving over small imperfections on the floor. This noise can be quite noticeable, especially in a quiet office environment.

Rubber casters, on the other hand, are softer and more flexible. They are excellent at absorbing shock and reducing noise. When rolling on the floor, rubber casters produce a much quieter sound compared to nylon casters. They are also less likely to scratch or damage the floor surface, making them a popular choice for offices with high - end flooring.

Polyurethane casters combine the best of both worlds. They offer good durability like nylon casters and noise - reducing properties like rubber casters. Polyurethane casters can roll smoothly on various floor types, including carpet, and produce minimal noise.

Another factor that affects caster noise is the floor surface. Hard floors, such as tile and hardwood, are more likely to amplify the noise produced by the casters. The smooth surface allows the casters to roll quickly, but any small bumps or cracks can cause the casters to make a loud noise. Carpeted floors, on the other hand, tend to muffle the sound. The soft fibers of the carpet absorb the vibrations and noise generated by the casters as they roll.

The weight of the person sitting on the chair also matters. A heavier person will put more pressure on the casters, which can cause them to make more noise. When the caster has to bear a greater load, it may have a harder time rolling smoothly, resulting in increased friction and noise.

Measuring Caster Noise

Measuring the noise level of chair casters is not a straightforward process. There is no universal standard for measuring the noise produced by chair casters. However, in general, noise is measured in decibels (dB). A quiet office environment typically has a noise level of around 40 - 50 dB.

To get an idea of how loud the casters on our mid back mesh chairs are, we have conducted some in - house tests. We placed our chairs on different floor surfaces and had people of different weights sit on them and move the chairs around. We used a sound level meter to measure the noise produced during these movements.

On a hardwood floor, our nylon - castered mid back mesh chairs produced a noise level of around 60 - 65 dB when a person of average weight was moving the chair. This level of noise can be quite distracting in a quiet office setting. Our rubber - castered chairs, on the other hand, produced a noise level of around 45 - 50 dB under the same conditions, which is much closer to the normal background noise level of an office.

When tested on a carpeted floor, both the nylon and rubber - castered chairs produced significantly less noise. The nylon - castered chairs had a noise level of around 50 - 55 dB, while the rubber - castered chairs were even quieter, at around 40 - 45 dB.
