Improving Acoustic Performance Through Environmental Design
Acoustic performance is a critical component of the built environment. Poor acoustics can negatively affect communication, comfort, productivity, and user experience—regardless of the quality of the audio system installed.
Gelombang Audio provides acoustic treatment and noise control solutions designed to improve how spaces function acoustically, based on their intended use, occupancy, and environmental conditions.
Why Acoustics Matter
Acoustics directly influence how people communicate, concentrate, and interact within a space. Excessive reverberation, background noise, and uncontrolled reflections reduce speech intelligibility and increase listening fatigue. Effective acoustic treatment improves:
- Speech clarity and intelligibility
- Acoustic comfort for occupants
- Usability of the space for its intended purpose
- Overall environmental quality
Acoustic performance should be addressed as part of the space design—not as an afterthought.
Our Consultant-Led Approach
Acoustic treatment solutions should be developed based on function, not material selection. We adopt a problem-solving approach that considers:
- Intended use of the space
- Occupancy and activity type
- Spatial geometry and finishes
- Existing noise sources
- Realistic performance objectives
Our role is to assess, advise, and implement acoustic solutions that deliver measurable and practical improvements.
Acoustic Solutions by Space Type
Discover our range of professional acoustic solutions tailored for every need
Halls, Auditoriums & Multipurpose Venues
These spaces require controlled reverberation to support speech and amplified sound without sacrificing coverage or clarity.
Key considerations:
- Reverberation control
- Speech intelligibility
- Audience comfort
Conference Rooms, Boardrooms & Offices
Clear verbal communication is essential in meeting environments where decisions are made and collaboration occurs.
Key considerations:
- Echo and reflection control
- Background noise reduction
- Acoustic privacy
Educational Facilities
Learning environments demand clarity and acoustic consistency to support comprehension and reduce listener fatigue.
Key considerations:
- Speech clarity for instructors
- Noise control between spaces
- Acoustic comfort for prolonged occupancy
Houses of Worship
Acoustic performance must balance reverberation with intelligibility while respecting architectural and cultural considerations.
Key considerations:
- Speech intelligibility
- Controlled reverberation
- Integration with existing architecture
Industrial & Commercial Facilities
Operational spaces often present higher noise levels that impact communication and comfort.
Key considerations:
- Noise mitigation (non-structural)
- Communication effectiveness
- Acoustic comfort in occupied areas
