The sound coming directly from a source within an auditorium will generally reach a listener after a time of anywhere from 0.01 to 0.2 seconds. Shortly after the arrival of the direct sound, a series of semi-distinct reflections from various reflecting surfaces (walls and ceiling) will reach the listener. These early reflections typically will occur within about 50 milliseconds. Too much reverberant sound will result in loss of clarity. If there is sound coming from outside, then this adds to the “noise” in the room.

What to Do About Auditorium Acoustics?

The objective is to achieve an optimum reverberation time in an auditorium.

The first step is to reduce Noise. Good sound-proofing can block outside noise. But there can be lot of noise inside also. The hum of the Air-conditioner or the Fans, the generators, water supply, the talking of the audience, etc all can contribute to internal noise.

The second step is to reduce reflections and achieve and optimal balance between clarity and the intimacy, liveness and warmth of being in a live audience.

A right mix of Absorptive and diffusing materials to reduce the amount of sound that ricochets from one hard surface to another along with great sound-proofing is the way to optimise sound reproduction in an auditorium.

Soundproofing Vs. Sound Absorption

To completely soundproof your auditorium, you’re going to need a combination of soundproofing products and sound absorption products. Soundproofing products contain sound and prevent it from traveling to other areas of a building. Meanwhile sound absorption products absorb the sound that bounces from open areas in your conference room. Sound absorption is what solves your poor acoustics, ambient noise, and that annoying echo.

“The outer beauty of an auditorium is defined by how it looks, but the more critical and long-lasting beauty of the auditorium is truly known by how it sounds.”
