Acoustic solutions for laboratory
Good acoustics in the laboratory will:
- Reduce the overall sound pressure level
- Lower the reverberation time
- Support communication between staff
- Reduce stress levels and improve work efficiency
Laboratories are complex spaces where several staff members are working to analyse samples or data. Cleanliness and air particles often need to be controlled to avoid any contamination. The environment can be noisy due to the technical equipment, which is often running all day long.
Acoustic challenges:
- Reducing sound levels and noise from technical equipment to make the space more comfortable to work in
- Reducing low-frequency noise to make conversation easier between the staff
Hygiene challenges:
- Contamination by dust particles, biological samples, microbes
- Cleaning frequency: Frequent
- Type of cleaning: Dry cleaning, wet wiping, disinfection, steam, UV-C, and HPV
Solutions:
- Use an acoustic ceiling to improve the sound environment by lowering the sound pressure level and reverberation time.
- Place sound-absorbing wall panels and baffles close to noisy equipment, to reduce the noise from spreading in the room.
