Acoustics: Indoor Sports Halls
Building services noise control is the science of controlling noise produced by:
•ACMV (air conditioning and mechanical ventilation) systems in buildings, termed HVAC in North
America
•Elevators
•Electrical generators positioned within or attached to a building
•Any other building service infrastructure component that emits sound.
Inadequate control may lead to elevated sound levels within the space which can be annoying and
reduce speech intelligibility. Typical improvements are vibration isolation of mechanical equipment,
and sound traps in ductwork. Sound masking can also be created by adjusting HVAC noise to a
predetermined level.
• HELP OF ACOUSTICS IN INDOOR SPORTS HALLS :
• Sports halls acoustics can be particularly harsh.
• Sports halls and gymnasiums spaces are normally oversized, hollow and comprised of
durable, yet hard and reflective surfaces.
• The result is an echo chamber of harsh noise, with reverberation times that can easily
reach over 5 seconds.
• Reduces echoes in sports halls.
• Helps reduce flutter echoes in larger spaces.
• Offer supreme sound absorption and create an acoustically
comfortable space for multiple uses.
• Decreases reverberation time.
• Slap back echoes travelling through dead space by installing
acoustic wall panels and ceiling panels.

• PROSONIC ACOUSTIC CURTAINS:
• Pro Sonic Acoustic Curtains are designed to provide a
degree of sound absorption within the space in which they
are used. Often used in performing arts spaces they not
only provide a variable acoustic environment for different
applications but control excessive reverberation in halls
with very reflective surfaces.
