Sports hall acoustics

Most of the activities that take place in a sports hall are very noisy. The high sound levels often make it impossible for students and players to hear each other, and for teachers to give instructions without having to shout. And due to the lively activities, it's important that the acoustic solution is impact-resistant and secure. It should be able to withstand repetitive hits by different kinds of balls. 

Challenge

• Reducing sound levels.
• Improving speech intelligibility by keeping sound from bouncing off the walls.
  

Solution

• Use an impact-resistant sound-absorbing ceiling with very good absorption qualities.
• Add impact-resistant wall absorbers on two adjacent walls.
