Bar and Restaurant Soundproofing
Bars and restaurants are social spots where people come together to enjoy company or live music. However, in many cases patrons have to raise their voices to be heard over the noise of the crowd or the band. Studies have shown that the second most common complaint by restaurant goers is noise. Thankfully, there is a solution and DDS Acoustical Specialties can provide bar and restaurant soundproofing to help give you and your patrons a positive acoustic experience.
Sound Surveys for Bars and Restaurants
Wondering just how loud your business is at a particular time? DDS Acoustical Specialties can provide on-site noise surveys to provide a baseline measurement of noise levels at your establishment. After we determine how loud it really is, we can work with you to come up with solutions and products to reduce noise.
Why Soundproof a Bar or Restaurant?
When you soundproof your bar or restaurant you are creating a more inviting and pleasurable experience for your patrons. It gets them to stay longer, which simply put, is good for business. Soundproofing combats the issue of echo and makes for a better environment for conversation and live music.
- Keep Customers Longer with a positive acoustic experience
When background noise becomes overwhelming, it can be nearly impossible to carry on a conversation with someone sitting next to you or across from you. Don’t let customers become frustrated with noise, but rather enhance your environment with soundproofing so that they stay longer and buy more.
- Improve Performances
Whether it is live music or a standup comedian, a loud, echoey environment is going to hurt the sound quality. Having to turn up the volume to overpower background noise can be uncomfortably loud. Therefore appropriate soundproofing can be utilized to enhance the experience for both audiences and performers.
Did you know?
A 2018 study of over 3,000 bars and restaurants in New York City found that a significant number of these venues are so loud that you can’t carry on a conversation and that owners often underestimate just how loud their establishments are. When it came to bars 31% were considered loud, and 60% were very loud, meaning they reached dangerous sound levels. It’s clear that bar and restaurant owners have a problem on their hands.
Acoustical Products for Bars and Restaurants
We use a variety of acoustic products to reduce the reverberation time in bars and restaurants. When retrofitting we typically use a combination architectural wall and ceiling panels or baffles. These products come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors to fit the aesthetic of any space. They are designed to absorb sound and reduce echo. They are also Class A fire rated and easy to clean and maintain.
If you HVAC system loud and annoying? To help significantly reduce the noise from duct casings we provide pipe and duct wrap that can be applied to rectangular or round pipe systems. We also can create custom HVAC silencers that utilize baffles as means of broadband sound attenuation.
For those concerned about the noise escaping into the streets or to a neighbor we also have several acoustic barrier products and solutions.
Amazing products from an amazing company! We have used them now twice at our church and just added one more room for them to do. I had high expectations when they came in initially. They did not disappoint. Everyone immediately noticed the sound quality improvement in the rooms. This product helps us, as a local church, offer a much more comfortable environment for everyone coming into our church. Thank you again everyone at DDS.Ted Towne III2023-09-06DDS did an amazing job sound proofing some difficult areas. They were great to work with and I would highly recommend them! Just to add...we had DDS come back and sound proof other areas because we were so pleased with their work. Highly recommend!Jodi Zepke2023-08-23We are so thankful for the installation that DDS Acoustical Specialities did for a preschool classroom. The panels are making a remarkable difference in the sound in the room! The children and staff are able to concentrate more in the echo-free space. The company was excellent from start to finish! Fair estimate, quick turnaround, prompt, professional and high quality work! DDS was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend you call them to help with sound issues! They can improve your sound to make a difference!Rachelle Kehoe2023-07-27From the very start DDS was a winner in my book. Dave answered the phone, came right out to assess our needs and we had a quote in no time. Their crew was informative, professional and kept their space tight and clean. And the product.... what a difference it has made in our restaurant. Even during the phases we could hear a difference from where the panels were installed and where they were not yet done. I would HIGHLY recommend them!Holly Neylon2023-03-31We recently worked with DDS Acoustical Specialties on an acoustic solution for a workstation area. We went with a combination of pinnable panels, ceiling panels, wall panels, and art panels, which have exceeded our expectations for the space.Sarah Rahkonen2023-03-21My church engaged DDS Acoustical Specialties to reduce the noise level in our parish hall. The hard surfaces on the floor, walls, and ceiling made it difficult to converse when the room was full. We are very pleased with both the appearance of the sound absorbing foam panels which DDSAS installed on the ceiling and also with the reduction in the noise level. Many of our members have commented favorably on the improvement. I would recommend this company without reservation.David Martin2023-01-19Great experience. We had a very severe sound reverberation issue in our town hall meeting room and Tyler and his team solved it quickly and affordably. Town meetings will never be filled with complaints (about the inability to hear) ever again. I highly recommend this company. And if you are ever in the Town of Sharon, Connecticut on a weekday, pop in, go to the second floor and hear for yourselfBrent Colley2022-10-27I had a great experience with DDS Acoustical Specialties from start to finish. I have a small physical therapy practice in Burlington, VT. and needed soundproofiing for my office. Mary was prompt and very knowledgable about how I could be helped on the phone and throughout the process. Steve made the long drive to provide and estimate for the work, and was extremely efficient, professional and pleasant to work with during the installation. They soundproofed the doors and ceiling tiles and it's made a tremendous difference.The entire process took about a month from start to finish. I now feel confident that my space is private and secure for my clients. I would highly recommend their services!Michelle Downing2022-08-01Great company to work with. Reasonable price for an acoustical solution in my 2900 sqf restaurant space. The noise has reduced considerably and people can hear each other even when the restaurant is fully booked. Highly recommended.Antonio De Trizio2022-08-01We had a great experience working with DDS. They checked all the boxes: great service, extremely knowledgeable, great selection at different price points; worked quickly and efficiently. Will use again in the future!Esme Green2022-07-15
