Soundproofing in the concert hall

Here we will inform you about our highly efficient absorption systems for a perfect sound performance.

Concert acoustics are important for the artists and for the visitors. Everyone expects an optimal sound. A concert hall must have lush acoustics, and no disturbing outside noises may be allowed to penetrate. aixFOAM offers many products that can give an event optimum acoustics, ideal soundproofing and event sound protection simultaneously.

Purposeful optimisation of concert hall acoustics

Due to their large surface areas and high ceilings, concert halls are typically plagued with poor acoustics. The sound spreads out unchecked, causing distorted echoes to develop from the softest of tones. It is especially important to provide adequate sound protection for events and ensure optimum acoustics in a concert hall.

In most cases, it is impossible to give a concert hall better acoustics by optimising the entire facility. Therefore, using acoustic is often the only way to give music lovers a better listening experience. aixFOAM developed special acoustic foams specifically for this purpose.

These are optimal sound absorbers due to their unique characteristics. Their special porous structure doesn't reflect sound, but absorbs it, converting the sound waves into heat energy within the material. The reverberation and the sound pressure level are lowered by getting rid of the sound energy, thereby eliminating the chief factors for disturbance in concert halls.

The absorber elements can be attached in almost any concert hall for concert hall noise protection. Due to their high flexibility, to counteract the unwanted noise, they can be easily installed by a layman using self-adhesive equipment. It is also possible to hang the absorber pads vertically from the ceiling, using tension cables and suspension eyelets. This system can be dismantled easily, as opposed to bonded elements, and is therefore especially suitable for soundproofing rented event venues.

In a concert hall, soundproofing must often meet optimal acoustic requirements as well. Ceiling sails are suitable for this, as are assembly cartridges made from anodized aluminium, which offer a variety of colour along with coated sound absorbers.

It is not only important that the and concert hall sound protection works well, but also that external soundproofing is ensured during the event. Many concert halls have several rooms without any concert sound protection or concert sound insulation, in which concerts often take place simultaneously. If the sound were to spread from one room to another due to missing concert hall sound insulation, the concert hall sound would soon sound like an amusement park.

Noise control is also necessary for concert halls within residential areas, so that nearby residents aren't disturbed by loud music. At the same time, sound absorption ensures that no noise (street noise, passing trains or airplanes) penetrates into the inner space during a concert.

This way, music in a club remains in the club

Room acoustics products aren't just needed within the professional area. Acoustic insulation is often indispensable for party cellars at home as well, to avoid disputes with the neighbours.

In a party cellar, for example, partyroom insulation, party basement insulation and party room soundproofing are attainable with aixFOAM sound absorbers with tapered edges (SH004). Alternatively, sound absorbers with plain surfaces (SH001) can be used, if laid with a shadow gap. Partial installation is often sufficient for noise control in a party room. Only in the rarest cases must the ceiling be fully lined. In order to make your party cellar soundproof, the side panels can also be covered with SH001, in order to optimize noise control in the party cellar.

What do you do, if your party tent is too loud?

Many events these days are held in party tents during the summer. Noise easily penetrates through the thin tent walls, making event room insulation unreliable during the event. Noise reduction in a tent or a soundproof tent or a soundproof party tent without any party tent sound involves the added problem that the tent will be dismantled afterward, and also is usually rented, so that a fixed assembly of the noise control elements is impossible. aixFOAM also offers a suitable solution for this. The aixFOAM sound absorbers can be vertically hung with tension cables on the side braces of the tent construction, thereby easily improving the soundproofing in the party tent.
