Whisper-Quiet Elevator Overview
The Whisper-Quiet Home Elevator is a residential lift system that provides minimal disturbance through noise, vibration and mechanical motion. Whisper-Quiet Home Elevators are engineered to provide a smooth ride and silent operation, making them suitable for installation in close proximity to the bedrooms, living rooms and private areas of the home.
Residential elevators have a distinct design than that of commercial elevators that makes them more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing to be part of everyday home life. Unlike the speed and the ability to handle larger volumes of traffic-like commercial elevators, which is why they are constructed to be only as loud and to operate at such high speeds, residential elevators were designed for user comfort and to be an unobtrusive and natural extension of the home.
The Importance of Having a Quiet Home Elevator
The ability to operate quietly (and smoothly) during the night and early morning hours or in other quiet rooms of the house is important because the noise created by a loud elevator can disrupt the sleep, relaxation, or conversation of its users. And, because of the proximity to bedrooms and other quiet areas, the use of today’s quiet home elevators eliminates these concerns by providing a smooth, controlled movement and minimal noise.
How Is a Whisper-Quiet Home Elevator Made?
The manufacture of whisper-quiet home elevators is accomplished through the use of state-of-the-art, advanced residential drive technologies to minimise mechanical noise and/or vibration; by allowing the acceleration and/or deceleration of the elevator to occur gradually to eliminate jerks and sudden movements; using precision-engineered sound-optimised components in the design of the motion- and acceleration-creating parts of the elevator; regulating the speed of the elevator to optimise the comfort and stability of the elevator's use; and lastly—and most importantly—the use of a sound-engineered component design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Will a home elevator near your bedroom affect your sleep?
Yes. Whisper-quiet home elevators have been designed with the ability to minimise the mechanical noise and vibration produced when travelling from floor-to-floor, making them ideal for installation close to the bedrooms and living spaces of homes.
2. Why are residential elevators quieter than commercial elevators?
Residential elevators are manufactured to optimise the experience of getting in and out, rather than speed or volume of service. To accomplish the goal of maximising user enjoyment of a lift system, residential elevators require sound-based components, controlled operating speeds, and smooth operational characteristics.
3. Is a smooth ride important for elderly or mobility-challenged users?
Yes. Smooth acceleration and deceleration improve balance and comfort for elderly customers and customers with mobility limitations, allowing the ride quality to reduce the chance of causing discomfort or loss of balance.
4. Does a quiet elevator affect performance or reliability?
No. A well-designed, sound-efficient elevator provides superior engineering to have a reputable performance while still offering a comfortable end-user experience for the passenger.
