Restaurant & bar acoustics

Restaurants and bars are more than just businesses; they are vibrant social hubs where customers engage in lively conversations and build lasting relationships. The ambiance or acoustic setting of these businesses can be pivotal in cultivating an environment that not only draws patrons back but also sparks glowing recommendations.

Why restaurant acoustics matter

One of the primary deterrents for customers is excessive noise, which often leads to unfavourable experiences. At Koru Acoustics, we specialise in resolving acoustic challenges in dining spaces. Our restaurant acoustic panels, expertly designed by European manufacturers, are crafted to mitigate noise and enrich the atmosphere of your restaurant.

Does my restaurant need acoustic treatment?

If the reverberation time of the space is above 0.7 seconds your restaurant will definitely benefit from installing acoustic panelling.

What causes high reverberation times in restaurants

Modern hospitality interior design has largely done away with soft sound absorbing finishes like carpet and cushioned seats. Instead, sleek furniture and polished hard surfaces that are easy to clean have become a preferred choice by many establishments.

Particularly in large spaces, these hard surfaces cause soundwaves to reverberate around for longer before dying out. This increased reverberation can turn a pleasant conversation into one where customers have to raise their voices in order to be heard above the room’s ambient noise level. This, in turn, raises the ambient noise level in the restaurant further. A phenomenon known as the Lombard effect.

• Stop excess noise: The right panel can significantly reduce unwanted noise, creating a more pleasant dining experience.
• Improve communication: Lower ambient noise levels make it easier for customers to converse without raising their voices.
• Enhanced atmosphere: A quieter environment promotes a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience, encouraging repeat business and positive reviews.
