Sounds Good

Here are things you need to know to get acoustics right for your space

- KUNTAL VYAS AGGARWAL

Acoustics play a crucial role in shaping the ambience and functionality of any space, whether it’s a recording studio, a home theatre, or an office. Achieving optimal acoustics requires a thoughtful approach that considers both the technical aspects of sound isolation and the aesthetic elements of design. Ten key factors to consider.

1. Sound Isolation Incorporate soundisolated flooring and ceilings insulated with sound insulation foam sheets to prevent sound bleeding and maintain privacy.

2. External Sound Insulation Use double layered windows and cavity walls to create a thick shield against external vibrations and noise.

3. Internal Sound Insulation Implement cavity walls, glass wool framing, perforated ply sheet, and fabric quilting to create multiple layers of sound insulation within the space.
