ROOM ACOUSTIC FOR AN EXISTING ROOM

HOW TO FIX THE ROOM ACOUSTICS OF AN EXISTING ROOM
2
Knowing the factors affecting the room's
acoustics makes it easier to consider those
factors while designing a new room and
incorporating them, but for an existing room,
things are different but still simple. In such
cases, we can improve the acoustics with
techniques like diffusion, absorption, tuning,
and soundproofing, all of which counteract the
acoustic problems. For this, it is critical to
understand the problem and why the room lacks
acoustics. A professional acoustics consultancy
in Oman helps you find the problem and
acknowledge it with the best-suited solution.

• 1. Diffusion
• If you are dealing with bad sound distribution,
  diffusion may be your best solution. The sound
  waves, after entering, diffuse into the space
  after hitting the hard surfaces. If the
  diffusions are not uniform, the sound gets
  concentrated, particularly in one area, which
  results in a bad sound distribution.
• Using specialized objects or wall panels to
  deflect the diffused sound waves helps in their
  uniform distribution. The special convex shape
  aids in distributing the sound waves more widely.
  Diffusion doesnt remove the sound waves but
  rather repositions them for a better sound
  experience.

 2. Absorption The sound waves after hitting the
surface either diffuse or absorb based on the
surface. Hard surfaces diffuse the sound waves,
while soft surfaces or materials absorb them.
Having too many hard surfaces in the direction of
sound sources increases reverberation and echoes.
So if you are concerned with lowering the sound
associated with a room, you should consider sound
absorption. Absorbers are soft materials like
sound-proof wall or ceiling panels, thick rugs,
heavy curtains, or just a book shelf filled with
books. They absorb the sound waves instead of
reflecting them after contact with them. Thereby
reducing the reverberations and echoes.

3. Tuning Digital tuning is the technique of
modifying the acoustics of a space by directing
sound waves in a certain direction. Tuning adds
new sound waves, whereas diffusion redistributes
and absorption eliminates existing sound waves. A
digital equalizer, or digital EQ, is a tool that
you can use to perform digital tuning. Many sound
systems have digital EQs to enhance the audio
quality being projected, which makes them perfect
for spaces where sound systems are used. Digital
EQs can help balance the sound if you are having
trouble getting sound waves from your audio
system to reach a certain section of the room.

4. Soundproofing Sometimes the source of the
sound problem in your room is external. You can
put up as many absorber panels as you like, but
it might not be enough to keep those outside
noises out. A different choice is to soundproof.
Soundproofing, in contrast to the other options,
prevents sound waves from entering the room in
the first place rather than modifying them after
they are there. The most common method of
soundproofing involves dividing the indoor and
exterior sides of the walls with absorbent layers
so that sound cannot pass through. Sounds and
noises can also have a big impact on how you
perceive a place or space. Therefore, every place
should be treated acoustically to enable the
majority of people to feel at ease and enjoy it.
Without adequate acoustic treatment, sound can
turn into noise, which will directly affect
people's experiences. Seeking advice from an
acoustic consultant is advisable for a better
overall experience. DSP consultants leading
acoustics consultancy in Oman are the best option
to opt for.
