This is often the case when buildings are subject to diverse uses. For example, this happens when comparably silent residential space meets noisy domestic service facilities or public areas such as a gym or movie theatre.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure harmonious interaction after all, we can recommend building-acoustic measures during the planning stage already to minimise the transfer of air-borne and footfall sound within buildings.

These rooms may even be theatre or concert halls. This is where sonority is at the centre of considerations. These tasks are typical for us in educational facilities such as schools, day-care centres or gyms as well, however.<\/p>\n<p>Does that sound good to you? It may sound even better that we also offer solutions for projects that focus on intelligibility of speech or reduction of noise levels.
