Acoustics

2024-04-07

Acoustics is a science that is concerned with production, control, transmission, reception and effects of sound.

Sound does not require any special environment or occasion to spread but it may take more than one product or solution to contain it. The sounds reach our ears unstoppably, we cannot close our ears as we can do with our eyes. A number of products are offered for damping the sound stream, but they should not be chosen solely by beauty. What should you pay attention to when looking for the best acoustic solution?

1. Always start with improving the acoustic quality of the ceiling. Often it is the largest sound-reflecting surface in the room, so this is the first place that needs to be improved to improve acoustics;

2. The walls are also a large reflective surface. It would be useful to use high-quality soft acoustic material to reduce noise and shorten reverberation;

3. The smartest thing to do would be to use an acoustic solution on at least one long and one short wall to remove most of the possible reflections of sound waves;

4. Acoustic tables and floor-standing perches, together with products hanging near or from the ceiling, are also a really effective way to avoid sound propagation in the room when the problem is a long reverberation time and/or disturbing background noise;

5. Disturbing noise can come from devices such as coffee machines, computers, ventilation, etc. and can be dealt with with acoustic partitions and free-hanging sound suppressors, as well as wall-mounted acoustic products attached to the sound source. However, if possible, keep them in a closed separate room;

6. Properly selected furniture also positively reduces the echo in the room. It can be bookshelves, tables and even plants. Everything that breaks the sound wave;

7. We recommend that you also keep in mind carpets that also contribute to reducing noise.

Everything sounds very complicated? We have good news for you!

We offer you to help solve acoustic problems by preparing a professional acoustic assessment, in which we will offer specific products that will reduce the initial reverberation indicators and increase sound insulation in your chosen room.

We present the acoustic assessment made earlier:

In it we see that the proposed acoustic solutions reduce the initial propagation time of the echo by almost 3 times!

Professionally conducted research is our guarantee that the products offered will definitely solve acoustic problems.

Let’s get in touch and discuss the most suitable acoustic solutions for you and let the sounds that reach you be pleasant to the ears!
