WAYS TO IMPROVE ACOUSTICS OF A LARGE ROOM

Stripped walls and floors, open-plan layouts, large windows, and minimal ornamentation are some of the features of modern homes that are very appealing to the eyes but have a great effect on the acoustics of the room. As the sound waves bounce off hard surfaces, the presence of these features increases the reverberation time, creating echoes. This can be annoying because all of us want our homes to be beautiful without compromising the acoustics. Taking simple steps during home furnishing may solve this without having to invest more in it. The noise levels inside and outside the room are calculated by an acoustic design consultant, who then recommends the easiest ways to create a beautiful space with good acoustics. 

Tip 1: Place furniture in the space.
An empty room never helps with acoustics. To improve the acoustics, the sound wave should be properly diffused by hard surfaces. So it is important to fill the empty room and spaces with furniture, whether it be a coffee table or a pedestal; anything with hard surfaces will work. 

Tip 2: 
Absorb sound using soft materials Sound waves also bounce against surfaces like walls, windows, ceilings, and floors. So to prevent this, it is important to use sound-absorbing materials like heavy-duty rugs or carpets on the floor and curtains on windows. Also, using soundproof panels or sound isolation clips on the ceilings is a good practice for good room acoustics. Thicker materials absorb sound better, so simply keeping a bed or sofa in the center of the room improves the acoustics.

Tip 3: 
Use walls with angles! Place tall bookshelves filled with books right angled to the nearest thick curtain or any other sound-absorbing element, which will improve the acoustics of the room to a great extent. The more books on the shelf, the better the sound absorption.

Tip 4: 
Designing a Home Office If there is a home office, it is better to put it in a separate room. This will help you stay focused and away from all potential noises. It is advisable to place a soft sound-absorbing material in front of your work table to improve the acoustic experience. This means placing your table in front of a curtain or bookshelf at an angle of 38 degrees to the sound source improves the quality of the sound and the experience. 

Tip 5: 
Working with Staircases Because of the complicated architecture and the presence of many parallel walls in staircases, sound waves move freely around them, creating echoes. Simply hanging objects or some form of textile along the staircase walls breaks up the sound waves and prevents echoes. The acoustic consultant, when included in the design process from the start, prevents any acoustic problems before they arise, saving you time and money. 

Design decisions have a significant impact on acoustics. An investment in acoustics not only increases the value of your home but also benefits your health. DSP consultants, the leading acoustic consultants in the UAE, help you with the design decisions, whether it is your home, office, or any other industry, to get the best acoustic experience out of it.

Experts in the science of sound and acoustics, acoustic noise consultants can be very helpful in improving room acoustics for a variety of reasons, including creating comfortable and useful environments, enhancing audio quality, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
