Acoustic Challenges in Leisure Environments
Sport and leisure centres are predominantly social spaces for a wide variation of activities. From swimming pools to gyms, the likelihood is that an abundance of noise will be made from supportive teams and crowds of spectators.
Sports centres, gymnasiums and other leisure environments tend to favour an open plan design that provides room for all activities. When this is partnered with hard surfaces (also often found in leisure facilities) and a large source of noise from busy crowds, sound can bounce off these surfaces to create exaggerated echoing and unintelligibility of speech.
Leisure environments are designed to support the health and wellbeing of individuals, so it’s important to create a comfortable soundscape. When you factor in the benefits of improving acoustic performance, you can see changes such as:
- Communication between team members is clarified. For example, football players will be able to hear their name being called, indicating they’re free to pass the ball to them. In competitive sports, this increases the likelihood of success. For other leisure activities, it creates a relaxed environment where conversations are easily heard.
- Individual welfare is improved with advanced acoustic protection. With the right level of sound absorption and insulation, noise levels are reduced so that coaches and supporters won’t strain their voice to be heard. Advancing acoustics within a leisure centre can also form a comfortable and welcoming environment for everyone to partake in activities.
- Improved speech clarity can also minimise the risk of accidents – something that should be a high priority in activity based facilities. High quality acoustic performance helps individuals become aware of their surroundings and listen to any background noises that might forewarn an accident, as well as comments made to a similar effect.
How to improve acoustics in sports and leisure centres
It might not seem ideal to furnish a leisure environment with commercial furniture. After all, it would minimise space for activities and form a potential trip hazard. At Workplace Interior Shop, we stock many alternative acoustic interior solutions to help you take control of noise levels in leisure spaces.
Acoustic Leisure Flooring
Our range of acoustic flooring can minimise the volume of reverberations that bounce off more standard hard surfaces. Specialised to leisure environments, some of these products also have slip resistant properties that also ensure safety. Our range of products are available in a variety of patterns and colours, available to suit your leisure design.
- Overlay Flooring
- Adhesives, Primers & Underlay Flooring
- Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT)
- Safety Flooring
- Vinyl Flooring
Acoustic Leisure Walls
Depending on the activities your leisure environment facilitates, you might need to consider impact resistance to withstand contact from equipment. Our stock of acoustic wall panels, insulation and art offers a creative solution to improve overall performance.
Acoustic Leisure Ceilings
To prevent spilling into adjacent rooms, we supply encapsulated thermal ceiling insulation, suitable for suspended ceiling. If, however, your leisure environment doesn’t have a suspended ceiling, we recommend acoustic ceiling baffles, rafts and canopies. These hang from a soffit to provide targeted noise protection through sound absorption, ultimately reducing echoing.
