Creating a sound booth or a room that maximises acoustic values can be an incredibly difficult task. Understanding frequencies, wavelengths, and acoustic construction can take a long time. It is understandable that people would be less than focused on potential safety concerns while they are studying. Acoustic foam and acoustic panelling are important accessories in […]
A new home theater installation, what an exciting prospect. You can’t wait to immerse yourself in crystal clear surround sound, with action movie audio coming at you from every direction. Before you become preoccupied with thoughts of speaker placement, though, you’ll want to soundproof the room. You’ll also want to avoid the following home theater […]
Factories anchor our manufacturing sector. They process everything we use and basically shape our world. Loaded with machinery, the equipment whines and rattles all day and all night, much to every workers’ dismay. Acoustic control solutions minimise this industrial racket. Yes, noise dampening panels have a place of prominence here, but so does an intelligent […]
If there’s one truth we want to convey today, it’s the fact that noise control technology is an engineering discipline, not a haphazard enterprise. Baffles and panels, fabrics and other acoustic management solutions aren’t thrown up in a flurry of sweaty activity. On the contrary, a cool and considered noise assessment study is conducted before […]
As we all learned in high school physics, energy cannot be destroyed. Following on from that line of reasoning, propagating sound waves can’t be killed because they’re a form of energy. So what do acoustic foams and panels do if they’re not actually eliminating sound? A great deal, actually, with reverberation cancellation and sound vibration […]
Painters are skilled craftsmen. Unfortunately, an industrious worker, armed with a can of paint, can sometimes get carried away with his duties. We’ve seen intercom loudspeakers painted over, window frames sealed shut because of paint, and even the occasional light switch buried in thick layers of sticky emulsion. But acoustic foam, that’s another matter, one […]
Healthcare environments need to be quiet. That prescription for silence exists to promote an envelope of quietude. Indeed, a calm hospital floor enriches wellness, advances feelings of patient privacy, and generally encourages habitat comfort, even when that comfort is disturbed by a painful medical ailment. In other words, hospitals absolutely benefit from effective noise and […]
If you’ve ever heard the whine of an industrial drill or the slam of a heavy-gauge workshop press, you’ll have some idea of the noise that’s reverberating around an industrial facility. Industrial soundproofing curtains attenuate that noise. Then, according to everything we know about human nature, a more tolerable work environment prospers. Concentration is restored, […]
In today’s fast-paced world of highly advanced technology, sound insulation and noise control are essential design elements to be seriously considered when constructing new office facilities or renovating older commercial buildings. Noise levels can strongly affect your hearing, concentration and productivity if you work in an office building, factory or other indoor environment. Staff members […]
Noise insulation is a major concern in many buildings and industries at present. Either the property owner desire high-quality acoustics within the room or may need to block the sound from bleeding over into other parts of the building, and at times, a combination of both. One of the latest materials to make this need […]
