Building Acoustics & Room Soundproofing

Let us help you find the best solution for your commercial noise control needs by offering a few of the best soundproofing options available.

 

Commercial Soundproofing

Do you have a problem with room soundproofing and building acoustics within your working environment?

Memtech Acoustical is experienced in providing cost-effective commercial soundproofing solutions to a variety of noise control problems. Many rooms and buildings exhibit poor acoustical characteristics which can result in high ambient noise levels, reduced speech intelligibility, excessive reverberation, sleep disturbance, or general annoyance issues. Musical performances are also negatively impacted when rooms or auditoriums exhibit excessive reverberation. Restaurant patrons may have to shout in order to be heard if background noise levels are too high. Office workers may have trouble concentrating in high-noise environments, or where sound is reflected throughout a room.

Well-designed room acoustic treatments do not have to consist of unsightly structures or large domineering panels which block light or limit visibility. We offer a large variety of aesthetically pleasing noise-control products which are non-intrusive, and will enhance the appearance of any room. Various colors, textures and shapes can be used to compliment any type of décor.

In many instances, privacy is a concern, and walls with poor acoustic attenuation can result in the transmission of conversation to adjoining rooms. Animals can become agitated or aggressive if they are boarded in areas where reverberation is excessive. Speakers at churches or school auditoriums may not be clearly heard due to echo from hard-sided walls or ceilings.

We also have the capabilities to provide computer noise-modeling services, to calculate the predicted results from the use of different acoustic treatments or wall designs. This includes ‘before and after’ playback demonstrations to allow the customer to actually hear the modeled differences of different solutions before spending money to purchase and install materials or make major modifications. This is a very effective and reliable method to allow a subjective comparison of noise-control solutions.

Noise masking is another area of expertise that we utilize in instances where budgets are very limited, and privacy is of key importance. Well-designed noise masking systems can ‘cover-up’ conversations from adjoining rooms without annoying occupants.

Memtech Acoustical has the experience to provide cost-effective solutions to these types of problems. We have successfully resolved noise issues for businesses, public facilities, restaurants, churches and schools. We also provide technical noise-abatement design support for architects and builders on new construction projects.

Offices-and-Conference-Rooms-Noise-Control

Offices and Conference Rooms

One of the largest areas of business for MEMTECH ACOUSTICAL relates to mitigating noise problems in offices, conference rooms and other workplace environments. Many offices are subject to high background noise, which may result from excessive reverberation, poor isolation from other areas or outdoor traffic, or simply in maintaining adequate privacy.
HVAC-and-Power-Plant-Noise-Control

HVAC and Power Plant Noise Control

Large commercial power plants and/or HVAC systems are capable of generating very high noise levels. Sources of noise commonly include blowers, motors and compressors. These systems are often located in large reverberant rooms, making communication difficult, and can often be heard on adjoining floors or nearby offices. High levels of vibration are often common. MEMTECH ACOUSTICAL has the engineering expertise to reduce noise or vibration complaints in a fast, cost-effective manner.
Office-Facilities-and-Government-Buildings-Noise-Control

Government Buildings and Public Utilities

Places of business which require a comfortable working environment and clear communications should be designed with optimum acoustic characteristics. MEMTECH ACOUSTICAL can provide ‘up-front’ design recommendations for new construction, as well as remediation services for current buildings/offices where high background noise or excessive reverberation is present.
Environmental-Noise-Control

Acoustic Barrier Walls

In some cases where neighborhood noise concerns are an issue, the installation of noise barriers may be necessary. These are very effective in controlling noise and are produced in a variety of configurations and designs. Please see our section under “ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE CONTROL” for more information.
Indoor-Firing-Range-nosie-control-2

Gun Firing Range

While firing range noise levels are always significant, highly reverberant indoor shooting facilities can serve to ‘amplify’ the overall noise, resulting in higher-than-necessary sound levels. Wall and ceiling treatments, as well as acoustic baffling structures can minimize these noise levels. MEMTECH has provided effective solutions for a number of shooting ranges.
Indoor-Pools-and-Waterparks-noise-control

Indoor Pools and Waterparks

The design and materials used for indoor pools and waterpark facilities frequently contributes to excessive reverberation: cement walls, tile floors, glass barriers and other hard, flat surfaces are excellent ‘noise reflectors’. Theses surfaces result in high levels of reverberant sound energy. The use of engineered noise-absorbing materials will reduce this reverberation significantly. MEMTECH ACOUSTICAL has the expertise to provide cost-effective solutions for these complex problems.
Churches-Religious-Facilities-and-Non-Profit-nosie-control

Churches and Religious Facilities

All houses of worship require that the speaker be clearly heard throughout the sanctuary, without the presence of excessive echo or ‘muffling’ of speech. This requires the careful application of noise-control materials at strategic locations such that communication is both clear and comfortable to the congregation. In addition, acoustic isolation may be required in some adjoining rooms, such that the sounds of crying children or other noises do not conflict with sermons or teaching. MEMTECH ACOUSTICAL has worked with many places of worship to resolve difficult noise and reverberation concerns.
Animal-Care-Facilities-noise-control

Animal Care Facilities

Barking dogs and other animal sounds can create a cacophony of noise is many animal care facilities, which makes verbal communication difficult, and can cause unnecessary stress to the animals. MEMTECH ACOUSTICAL can design sound absorbing solutions to reduce the overall noise levels at affordable prices.
Schools-and-Gymnasiums-noise-control

Schools and Gymnasiums

Large gymnasiums and school auditoriums are often overly reverberant, which may cause annoyance in adjoining rooms, as well as cause difficulty in assuring clear verbal communication. MEMTECH ACOUSICAL has engineered and installed highly effective noise absorption and control materials in a number of schools and colleges to eliminate many of these concerns.
Recording-Studios-and-Soundstages-noise-control

Recording Studios and Soundstages

Studios require special design considerations to avoid being overly ‘live’ or excessively ‘dead’. The strategic installation of sound-absorbing or reflecting materials can overcome these undesirable artifacts, and assure a desirable sound quality. In addition, contaminating noise from outside the building or from adjoining rooms can cause serious issues when recording quiet music. MEMTECH ACOUSTICAL can assist in resolving these problems, and design a solution to meet your specific needs.
State-and-Local-Noise-Ordinances

State and Local Noise Ordinances

Noise ordinances typically specify acceptable noise levels during different times of the day or week. MEMTECH ACOUSTICAL can assist in understanding the requirements in your area, as well as to fully explain the criteria and methods used to verify compliance. We can also assist in meeting these requirements through the use of a variety of noise-reduction solutions.
Restaurants-and-Bars-noise-control

Restaurants and Bars

Many public restaurants and bars experience excessive noise during busy times, requiring patrons to raise their voices to talk, or simply provide an unacceptable ‘din’ that can disrupt the desired atmosphere. In other venues, where live music may be playing, high levels of reverberation may cause ‘muddling’ of voices or instruments, MEMTECH ACOUSTICAL has the experience and skills to resolve these types of problems using cost-effective solutions.
Neighborhood-Noise-Complaints

Neighborhood Noise Complaints

Noise emanating from commerical facilities can be cause for complaints from both nearby homeowners or businesses. This noise can vary from the use of construction or maintenance equipment, as well as loud music from gyms or workout facilities, public address systems, exhaust fans, compressors or other machinery used in commercial establishments. MEMTECH ACOUSTICAL has the expertise to assist your business to reduce or eliminate noise sources that may be of concern.
Hospitals-and-Medical-Offices-soundproofing

Hospitals and Medical Offices

Medical offices, hospitals and other care-giving services require careful acoustic consideration. Speech must be clearly heard by doctors, nurses, and other professionals, but it is necessary that any conversations remain private between adjoining rooms or surrounding areas. Memtech Acoustical has extensive experience in reducing unwanted noise in medical facilities, as well as soundproofing offices and examination rooms. We offer a wide variety of visually appealing sound control panels and baffles to fit any application.
