Airports are typically chaotic and noisy places with continuous flows of people coming and going. The constant din caused by simultaneous announcements, voices and various kinds of noises can be wearing and stressful for those who pass through and work in these environments. Proper acoustic design is therefore essential to improve comfort inside airports.
Acoustically critical areas
There are various critical areas in airports in terms of acoustics. Waiting rooms, lounge areas, corridors, restaurants and bars are spaces where echoes and reverb can make the experience of travellers and workers more tiring and stressful. The installation of sound-absorbing panels, such as the Silente, Sail or Dot models, on the ceiling or wall can significantly reduce background noise and improve sound clarity. In all high-traffic areas, where background noise is also intensified by the highly reflective materials used for the architecture, the installation of acoustic baffles, such as Flag ceiling-hung sound-absorbing panels, or free-standing solutions, such as the Menhir and D-Space elements, can help reduce reverb and reduce the reflection of soundwaves.
The advantages of Caruso Acoustic products
Caruso Acoustic offers a wide choice of acoustic solutions for all typical airport environments. These range from ceiling and wall sound-absorbing panels to free-standing solutions, all of which customisable in terms of size, colours and prints. Thanks to this versatility it is possible to identify the most suitable solution to meet the specific needs of every area of the airport. The result is a bespoke project that takes account of the architectural and functional characteristics of the spaces to ensure optimal acoustic comfort.
