Churches and Religious Facilities

Memtech Acoustical designs effective noise control solutions for any type of church, synagogue, and other religious facilities.

Effective noise management is critical in churches, synagogues, and other religious facilities. It is essential to control excessive reverberation to assure that the spoken word and musical performances can be clearly heard by all in attendance. In addition, the reduction of ambient noise will improve the overall experience and assure that participants are not distracted or otherwise bothered by unwanted sounds. Poor sound quality is common in churches because of an abundance of hard surface materials such as brick, marble, stone, tile, glass, wood and sheet rock.

All of these materials are acoustically reflective and can create intolerable levels of reverberation (“echo”) as well as to “amplify” the sounds of rustling papers, movement in pews, etc. Even the most strategically-placed PA speakers can’t compensate for poor acoustics. An overall engineered noise-management system must be considered to assure that optimum listening conditions are achieved. Our acoustic panels are designed to absorb sound energy and reduce a room’s overall noise, reverberation, creating interiors that “reduce the din without sacrificing the divine”.
