We had the honor of helping this high school reduce excessive reverberation from basketball games and other indoor events by installing high-quality, custom, color-coded acoustical wall panels throughout the gym. The panels are constructed from hard-surface PET (not fiberglass), providing enhanced safety and long-term durability.

The results have significantly improved the overall game-day experience. Players and coaches can clearly hear and understand strategic calls, while spectators can enjoy an exciting, immersive game without overwhelming noise fatigue.

This installation represents Phase One of a two-phase acoustical treatment plan. Phase Two will include treatment of the gym ceiling to further control sound reflections.

During our initial visit, we recorded reverberation times of 4.4 seconds. For gymnasiums, the ideal range to reduce noise fatigue is typically between 1.8 and 2.4 seconds. Due to budget considerations, the client chose a phased absorption approach.

We take detailed acoustical readings for our clients to accurately assess a space’s needs and determine the most effective treatment plan—whether completed all at once or in stages.

Consider Sound Proof Atlanta to enhance your school auditorium, gym, or any high-noise environment. Proper acoustical treatment truly makes a difference.
