Church / School Multi-Purpose Room Noise
- Case Study

eNoise Control was contacted by a
Church Administrator in regards to
noise issues they are having in their Multi-Purpose room. The
administrator explained that they use this large room for basketball,
athletic activities, musical performances, church breakfasts and
occasionally church services. The noise issues they are experiencing in
the space are distorted music, garbled speech, and high overall sound
levels during athletic events or when many people are gathered in the
room. The church’s gym needed to reduce the sound levels with an
aesthetically pleasing acoustic product.
eNoise Control gathered the pertinent multi-purpose rooms dimensional
and construction information and performed
reverberation calculations. The
reverberation calculations provided data on the room’s current acoustical
condition and acts as a base line for the addition of sound absorptive
materials. eNoise Control performed a calculation for determining the
amount of acoustical material to be added to the space and bring the sound
reverberation down to acceptable levels for the room’s primary use.
Several material styles and facings were offered based on the churches
criteria – Sound Baffles,
Acoustical Banners, and
Fabric Wrapped Wall
Panels. eNoise Control's calculations assisted in determining the
quantity, size and layout of each acoustical material being considered by
the church.
