5 WAYS TO IMPROVE THE 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 design
consultant in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, 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.
