Improving acoustics in restaurants: reducing noise for happier customers

Surely, everyone has experienced going to a restaurant, bar, or any other public place to enjoy a meal with friends or family, only to find it impossible to have a conversation due to excessive background noise. The noise from moving chairs, music, people's voices, the sound of the coffee machine, and the ringing phone all contribute to increasing the ambient noise, compromising the physical and mental well-being of customers who want to spend a quiet and relaxing evening. Even the type of furnishings influences the propagation of sound: if the sound wave encounters reflective surfaces, such as glass, ceramic, or metal, it bounces back to our ears like a boomerang.

For these reasons, acoustic comfort and soundproofing inside a venue are fundamental to ensuring a pleasant experience for customers. Many restaurateurs and public place managers overlook the importance of acoustic treatment, despite it deserving much more attention. Various studies have shown that reducing noise can increase the number of customers, while poor acoustics can lead people not to return, as well as create a negative perception of the food quality.

The difference begins with the small things!

From the design phase of a public venue, it is essential to pay attention to the topic of sound comfort; there are numerous solutions that can be implemented to ensure noise reduction within a venue. Sound technicians and architects analyze the structure and reverberation time to identify the most suitable solutions, such as wall panels or sound-absorbing curtains. Additionally, the equipment and tools used for service can make a difference, which is why it is important to equip the venue with bar accessories that allow for noise pollution reduction and make the work of all professionals operating behind the counter quick and efficient.
