In the hospitality industry, including restaurants, hotels and other food and beverage establishments, acoustics and noise can have a big impact on whether guests will choose to come back time and time again. Sound can help to define the atmosphere and ambience of a space.

In restaurants, good acoustics lead to an environment that is pleasant and inviting and will encourage customers to stay and enjoy their meal. Excessive noise and reverberation can create a chaotic and noisy environment that makes it hard to hold a conversation and can become fatiguing.

Noise complaints are one of the top complaints in hotels, so designing for adequate sound isolation to separate guestrooms from other spaces is crucially important, especially in higher-end markets where expectations are higher.

Based on experience, we understand what measures to take that will truly make a difference in the guest experience and can guide design teams and owners to acoustic success using cost-effective methods. We have provided acoustical consulting services for several of the finest establishments in the Halifax area.
