SSA Acoustics

Commercial projects involve basic acoustic issues associated with sound isolation and sound quality.  These types of issues are presented in private and open offices, conference spaces and lobbies requiring design elements to control sound creating quiet spaces with good speech intelligibility.  Restaurants are a good example of where these applications apply.  Without proper control of sound paths within a dining area, and the correct quantity and type of absorption, a quality restaurant can limit the dining experience.

Projects

Importance

Common spaces such as lobbies, meeting spaces, and open office should be addressed with specific wall types between different areas.  The reflective nature of a space will affect the sound quality within by creating long paths for sound to travel and by taking longer for sound to decay. These qualities will reduce the intelligibility of human voices and raise the overall noise level within a space.
