Architectural Acoustics Consultants in Dubai

Rooms that sound the way they should, and walls that keep conversations where they belong.

What is architectural acoustics?

Architectural acoustics is the design of buildings so they sound right. It has two sides: sound insulation, which stops noise passing between spaces, and room acoustics, which controls echo and reverberation within a space so speech is clear and the room is comfortable.

The finished design can be built by our architectural acoustic contractors. For offices and restaurants, see commercial acoustics.

Glass, concrete and open ceilings look sharp and sound harsh. Without absorption a room rings, voices blur and people raise theirs to compensate. As architectural acoustics consultants in Dubai we work alongside the architect and interior designer, choosing finishes and constructions that meet an acoustic target without undoing the design.

Building acoustics design starts with targets: a sound insulation rating for each partition type and a reverberation time for each room type. We then specify wall and floor build-ups, door and glazing performance, ceiling absorption and the detailing at junctions, where most insulation is lost. Reverberation time design for meeting rooms and halls is modelled before finishes are ordered.

The service is part of our acoustic consultant practice, with dedicated pages for commercial, shopping mall and hospital projects. Our sound insulation design is coordinated with MEP acoustics so ducts and pipes do not bypass the walls, and treatment can be installed by architectural acoustic contracting.

Architectural Acoustic: questions, answered

What is reverberation time?

The time sound takes to die away in a room. Long times make speech muddy; the right figure depends on the room's size and use.

Can acoustic treatment look good?

Yes. Absorption can be built into ceilings, wall panels, timber slats, fabric and even plaster finishes. We work to the designer's palette.

Why does sound still pass through a thick wall?

Usually through gaps, doors, ceiling voids or ductwork rather than the wall itself. Finding these flanking paths is a large part of our job.

How do you decide how much sound insulation a wall needs?

We look at what happens on each side: how loud the source is, how quiet the receiving room needs to be, and how private the conversation must remain. Then we specify the construction to bridge that gap.

Do you review architects' drawings?

Yes. We can review partitions, ceilings and glazing on the drawings and mark up what needs to change.

What do STC and Rw ratings mean?

Both are single-number ratings of how well a wall, floor or door blocks airborne sound in laboratory tests: STC under the American method and Rw under the ISO method. Higher is better. Site performance is usually a few points lower than the laboratory figure, so we design with that margin in mind.
