Hearing-friendly restaurants: why the hospitality industry is now focusing on acoustics

This week, Lekker.nl shone a spotlight on ten restaurants that pay extra attention to acoustics. These restaurants make sure guests can understand each other, even during a busy evening. A positive sign: the hospitality industry is discovering that sound is just as important as taste.

What are the financial and organisational benefits of investing in acoustics?

Many organisations experience the effects of reverberation, poor speech intelligibility and noise-related distraction every day. This affects productivity, workplace comfort and collaboration. Yet acoustics still receive less attention than lighting, climate control or interior design in many projects. That’s a shame, because good acoustics often deliver more benefits than organisations expect.

How sound works: why you can’t hear everything in the workplace

Do you recognise this? You hear a high-pitched ringing, but your colleague hears nothing. Or someone walks past behind you and you don’t hear them approaching. Your brain filters sound continuously, but our brains don’t register every sound. But why not? In this blog, we explain what sound is and how your brain processes sound.

Sound absorption or sound insulation in the office: which solution do you need?

Many organisations experience noise nuisance in the office. Employees are distracted by conversations, meetings disrupt the work floor, or a room feels restless because of reverberation. In this blog, you’ll discover which noise problem you are experiencing, which solution is best suited to it, and why many office environments benefit more from good acoustics than from additional sound insulation.

The difference between acoustics, insulation, and absorption

On our website you often read the words acoustics, insulation, and absorption. These terms seem similar and are sometimes confused with each other. However, they each mean something different. In this blog, we explain what the words mean, what they have in common, and how they differ.

The cocktail party effect sounds gezellig, but what is it actually?

The cocktail party effect and the Lombard effect make conversations in busy environments increasingly difficult to understand. The Lombard effect occurs when you unconsciously speak louder in a noisy setting to remain intelligible. The cocktail party effect describes how hard it is to follow a single conversation amidst other voices and background noise.

Acoustic panels, how they work, types, and applications explained

Spaces where conversations are clearly audible, people can concentrate better, and fatigue sets in more slowly, contribute to a pleasant working environment. Unfortunately, not every space has an agreeable acoustics by default. But how do you then create a congenial acoustic environment in the workplace? You do this with sound-absorbing panels that dampen the noise.

What makes an acoustic solution successful?

Many organisations invest in acoustic panels, ceiling islands, or baffles. However, not every measure produces the same result. Sometimes there is still unrest in the space. In other cases, a room might feel too silent. A successful acoustic solution therefore isn't just about the product itself. In this blog, we explain how to determine whether an acoustic solution is genuinely successful.
