Soundproofing a Restaurant

 As a general rule most restaurants consist of  hard surface walls ceilings
and floors. This is both for the evince of the establishment as well as for
ease of cleaning of these areas. Restaurants are more concerned with reducing
the echo and reverberation in their venue as opposed to actually stopping the
noise from going out of the restaurant. The lack of absorbency in restaurants
oft times makes it impossible to carry on a normal conversation with the
people at your own table. The hard surfaces bounce the sound in every
direction possible which can make life very annoying for your restaurant
clientele.
 So what can you do to stop or at least reduce this reverberation and noise
reflection. One thing would be to add absorbent panels to the walls and
ceiling of the dining area. This would help to alleviate the reflected noise
that bounces off of the walls ceiling and floors. However these panels and
absorbers can  dramatically change the look and the theme of your restaurant,
so it is always best to contact a professional. As the restaurant owner, you
need to know where you can place sound absorbing panels to where they don't
interfere with the look or theme of the establishment.
  Absorbent materials such as bonded acoustical cotton panels and fabric
wrapped panels play a major role in reducing the the reverb times in any
restaurant or dining facility.
 Here at Soundproofing America, Inc. we have a better idea. We carry a
product called Echoless Roll material. http://www.soundproofingamerica.com/ECHOLESS-ROLL-MAT.pdf This is a bonded cotton roll that has an acoustically neutral black facing on it. It is one of the most absorbent
materials on the market today. Here is what I am suggesting. You would cut
this material to fit onto the bottoms of your chairs, tables, booth tables
and under any surface that is not visibly seen by the restaurant patrons, yet
will absorb the unwanted reverberation and noise reflection in your eating
establishment. This product will meet any building code and has a class A
fire rating and is LEEDS certified. You would be able to dramatically reduce
the reverberation in your restaurant just by applying this material to the
bottoms of tables and chairs.
 There are other products that can also reduce reflective noise and reverb.
One such product we refer to as acoustical clouds. In essence the acoustical
clouds are basically hanging baffles that would be hung by rope or light
weight chain from the ceiling of the restaurant. Clouds are very effective as
far as absorbing and defusing unwanted echo and reverb on any room. There are
a variety of very efficient and cost effective productss the can reduce the
echo time in your restaurant from 7 to 8 seconds down to less than one second.
  If this sounds like the answer to your reverberation noise issues, then
please call the professionals at Soundproofing America, Inc. or go to www.
