Designing for Sound in Demanding Environments
Achieving good acoustics in swimming pools and aquatic centers presents unique challenges. The abundance of hard, reflective surfaces—like tiles, glass, and water—amplifies echoes and noise, impacting both visitor comfort and staff well-being.
- Reflective materials cause high levels of sound reverberation
- Humid, chlorinated air places strict demands on material performance
- Large, open spaces often lack soft, sound-absorbing features
These conditions call for carefully engineered solutions that combine acoustic performance with durability and visual appeal.
