Cafeteria Acoustics
School cafeterias are notoriously noisy places, due to a combination of animated conversation, movement of chairs and furniture, clatter of cutlery, etc. High levels of background noise of this type can lead to the “café effect” where voices are raised higher and higher to be heard over the noise.
Reducing Noise In Cafeteria
The result for occupants can be increasingly stressful. As would be expected, most of this background noise is in the upper frequency range – at or above voice frequencies. Fortunately, sound waves at these frequencies are readily absorbed by acoustic panels such as Serenity Acoustic Panels, from Sontext.
These panels have been tested in approved acoustic laboratories and found to absorb up to 95 per cent of sound waves that reach the panel surfaces. They can be easily installed on walls or ceilings of new or existing buildings, and when faced with acoustic fabric in appropriate colours or patterns, can add an exciting new dimension to any interior decor
