Restaurants with Custom Acoustic Art Panels look and sound better.
The secret to an ideal dining and meeting area is not always the cooking or the furnishings, it's also in the acoustics. The food and service may be fabulous, but if people can't have a conversation over clattering dishes, ambient noise, and the loud laughter at the next table, they'll likely be looking for another place. Yelp has begun listing noise levels atop its ratings. OpenTable, a reservations service, allows reviewers to rate restaurants as "quiet," "moderate" or "energetic." Several national restaurant reviewers now factor sonic quality into their reports. Some cities have even begun rating restaurants not just on food and service quality, but the noise volume as well. Adding acoustic treatments will greatly reduce background noise levels and enhance speech clarity.
Noise levels in restaurants without proper restaurant soundproofing materials averaged between that of city traffic (85 decibels) and power saws (109 decibels). During peak hours, it can be even worse. Restaurants with bars, typically register sound levels as high as 10 decibels over the human tolerance level.
With the rising popularity of open kitchens, which put shouting chefs in plain view and earshot, architects are trying to cut down on the noise by designing work areas with lower ceilings. The physical layout of your restaurant and how sound travels through your space is to blame. The kitchen is an especially noisy place, and tables sitting near the kitchen or food-serving lanes can be the worst area for your guests.
Most restaurants have echo problems. Sound bounces off walls, ceilings and floors. This makes unwanted background noise and muffles voices. Sound absorption products help to make individual voices clear. By reducing the sound that is echoed off the walls, there is less background noise. Restaurant Sound Absorption Products absorb sound waves and prevent them from bouncing back off the walls and contain the sound in one location.
Kitchens need restaurant soundproofing materials to stop noise from entering the dining room. Bars need restaurant soundproofing materials to trap the noise and not let it enter other areas of the restaurant. Overall, acoustic panels for restaurants keep the noise contained in the space it should be.
There are many options for acoustic treatments that are available to restaurants, bars, clubs, wineries and cafe owners. A good way to start absorbing reverberant noise is to cover two perpendicular surfaces with sound-absorbing material. For example, by treating the ceiling with Acoustic Baffles and at least one wall with Acoustic Panels, sound waves are prevented from reflecting horizontally and vertically.
ACOUSTIC BAFFLES are lightweight and easy to suspend from high, open ceilings using traditional hanging or cable suspension systems. Baffles absorb sound from all directions to reduce reverberation in large interior spaces. (ANY of our standard panels can be used as baffles with our ceiling mounting kit option).
FABRIC WRAPPED WALL PANELS absorb nearly 90% of the sound that reaches it. They are available in a variety of fabrics to complement or match wall or ceiling.
CUSTOM ACOUSTIC ART PANELS allow you to take ANY image, logo or photo Any custom hi-resolution image in the world, printed directly on the sound panels! Our custom acoustic panels are printed directly on acoustically transparent fabric.
Treating a restaurant or other entertainment venue can be easy and affordable. Our affordable acoustic and sound control solutions are the proven answers to help positively impact meeting, special events, restaurant, cafeteria & lunchroom noise control and acoustics. Our product line consists of multiple variations offering literally hundreds of options for you to customize your order to fit your application perfectly in every sense.

This happens because the sound goes through the panel, travels to the wall bounces back and passes through the panel again offering 2 opportunities for absorption. We can't take the credit for that great nugget of knowledge, it comes directly from Bob Hodas (the best in the biz).

How Much Acoustic Sound Treatment Do I Need?
As the director of customer service for Acoustic Sound Panels, I try to keep a tally of the most commonly asked questions to help guests like you fill in the gaps among the sea of information that is out there on the web. What we found is most people looking for acoustic sound panels and room treatment to quiet unwanted noise suffer from information overload.
It seems that internet trolls and other evil doers, in attempts to exercise their mean little fingers, try to use big words and long winded confusing concepts when explaining room treatment for "proper" sound absorption. I say if you can't explain it to people in simple terms, you really don't understand it!
By this point, I'm sure you agree and want to know "How Much Acoustic Sound Treatment Do I Need?" Here it is, plain and simple.... it depends. Stay with me now. There are a few basic questions to ask and we can figure out what is right for your exact situation.
First, what is the nature of the noise issue that you are trying to address? Do you want to make a room sound better acoustically or do you want to sound proof your space so that no one can hear the sound coming from your room? Let's start with covering "Sound Treatment."
Second, what size acoustic panel do I need? That will depend what types of sound are we treating. Bass Guitar / Drums and other lower frequencies would best suited with acoustic bass traps at least 4" thick or acoustic corner traps which are 13" at the deepest point. However, if you are treating a call center with loud voices or a space with other mid to high frequencies then 2" acoustic panels will do the job properly.
Now for the most important question of all... "How many sound panels do I need?" In most cases, acoustic treatment is unfortunately an after thought that rears it's ugly head after construction is complete or the budget is otherwise depleted. Let me be clear that no two rooms are ever the same and the exact numbers can fluctuate. But don't get paralysis by analysis, you have to start somewhere. Here is a rule of thumb that works for the majority of our customers. Multiply the Height (H) x Length (L) for all 4 walls in the room. Then add the Height (H) x Length (L) from each wall. That will leave you with the total square footage of your wall space.
EXAMPLE:
Let's say your room has 4 walls that are 10' tall and 10' long.
Wall 1 10' (H) x 10' (L) = 100
Wall 2 10' (H) x 10' (L) = 100
Wall 3 10' (H) x 10' (L) = 100
Wall 4 10' (H) x 10' (L) = 100
This leaves you with a total area of 400'
In most cases you will be happy with 15 - 30% coverage. For a home theater or very noisy room (think concrete walls or a gymnasium) up to 50% will be necessary. You will at that point even consider treating the ceiling as well. If our example room requires 25% coverage, we multiply our total area of 400' by .25 and determine that we need 100 SQ feet of coverage or about (12) 2' x 4' acoustic sound panels Prefer a different size? Don't worry, you aren't limited to 2' x 4' panels. We have many different standard sizes to pick from, but you may need a specific size built. That is not a problem, we build 1000's of custom sound panels each year we and are happy to build the exact panels that suits your needs.
Lastly, after you receive your custom acoustic treatments you will want to know where to place the acoustic sound panels. Great news... we cover that in another blog article titled "Where Should I Place My Sound Panels"
I hope this helps shed some light on the decision process. If not, no worries, we help people like you make the right decision on how to resolve noise problems on a daily basis and are happy to help you.
Each room is different and we understand this can be confusing so feel free to call CUSTOMER SERVICE 1-800-649-6278 and we can help you make sure that you only get what you NEED.
We're looking forward to hearing from you.

Absolutely NONE... Acoustic foam is completely ineffective on lower / lower mid frequencies, not to mention flammable and made in China from undisclosed toxic materials. Don't say we didn't warn you.
Are great if you are handy and a very popular option. However, if you are looking for acoustic panels on Craigslist you want to be careful to completely inspect the sound treatments for damage, mold or other defects that will impact performance. You also want to make sure to buy from a trustworthy seller, good luck finding too many of those on CL. By the way... did you know that all Mixmastered Acoustic built acoustic panels come with a LIFETIME GUARANTEE?
Sorry folks, it simply doesn't work. At best you may absorb the highest of frequencies which is great if you are trying to capture a recording of a dog whistle or even the occasional dolphin.
Actually in a pinch it could work, however, less than ideal. Keep in mind that a leather couch (even though you see them in many studios) are actually reflective and do a disservice. Leather is not acoustically transparent. A simple test you can do to test transparency of acoustic fabric is to breathe through it, if you can feel your breath on the back side of the fabric, you may be in luck.
If you have any additional questions or would like a FREE ACOUSTICAL ANALYSIS fill out the contact form and let us know your about your room (what are the floor, walls and ceilings mostly made of), the room size, the problem you wish to address and the timeframe you are working with. Also, if possible, send any pictures and/or video that you want us to see when coming up with the best plan of attack for your room.
]]>We were asked by a shelter for abused teens to help resolve some of their problems with noisy classrooms and gymnasium. You will be hearing much more about this project soon, but in the meantime have a look at this video featuring acoustic expert, Julian Treasure. Treasure is the author of the book Sound Business and keeps a blog by the same name that ruminates on aural matters (and offers a nice day-by-day writeup of TEDGlobal 2009).
Because of poor acoustics, students in classrooms miss 50 percent of what their teachers say and patients in hospitals have trouble sleeping because they continually feel stressed. Julian Treasure sounds a call to action for designers to pay attention to the “invisible architecture” of sound.
Despite being a thankless job according to acoustics engineer Gerald Stewart a room that is lacking proper acoustic absorption is useless "Acoustics is the invisible life or death of a room. It is the most annoying thing you can't see when it's wrong and the thing people seldom mention when its right."
When the architect does not "do the job", the complexity and costs of the AV equipment rises proportionately. More microphones must be added, which increases the cost of the electronic matrices geometrically. The loudspeakers require a higher directivity index. The labor increases as the integrator struggles for a higher intelligibility index.
Because of tight budgets in schools and hospitals sound treatment seems to be an afterthought by many architects, we are on the forefront of raising awareness of this issue and helping solve these issues around the world with our quality acoustic soundproofing materials and resources.

The Ordinary quiets down with new array of acoustic tiles
A few days after the upper King Street restaurant affixed $12,000 worth of acoustical panels to its ceiling, Mike Lata was talking to his sous chef in an area of the raw bar that’s visually shielded from the dining room. The restaurant had opened 15 minutes earlier, and based on the hum of the crowd, Lata assumed a few tables were taken. He emerged from the kitchen to discover the dining room was “100 percent full.”
“I was blown away,”
There are two ways to gauge the noise level of a restaurant dining room. One way involves a decibel meter. The other way relies on the carefully calibrated ear of an acoustician... Acoustic Panels for Restaurants

]]>A. Watch this acoustic treatment demonstration
You can hear the difference between an untreated room, a room treated with foam panels (egg carton soundproofing), and a room treated with acoustic sound panels made out of Roxul SAFE n SOUND AcousticalFire Batts, Mineral Wool (Fireproof & Soundproof).
]]>
A: Depends on your needs, both have their purpose. As far as reverb, ringing, reflections, and sounds above 500Hz 2 inch and 4 inch panels perform exactly. If your room is sonically perfect on the low end then you can get by with just 2 inch acoustic panels. OK, back to reality… 99% of the time you will also need low end absorption and 4 inch panels (also known as bass traps) provide 4 times better than 2 inch panels at 125Hz.
