Acoustics for Healthcare Facilities

Why are good acoustics so important in healthcare facilities?
Poor acoustics within healthcare facilities, hospitals, doctors' offices, and dental offices can have negative effects on both the organization’s ability to operate and the patients’ well-being — not to mention the privacy issues at risk when an environment has been not acoustically treated. Excess noise can hinder a patient’s ability to sleep and rest, resulting in a slower healing process, increased stress, and a longer recovery period. In addition to helping patient health, good acoustical properties will protect a patient’s personal information by preventing voices from carrying to places where they should not be heard.
What can Audimute do to help?
We take pride in being able to incorporate a sound solution right into the facility’s décor using a variety of unique styles, shapes, colors, fabrics, and more. Our products are made from recycled and safe material and are even available with our bleach-cleanable fabric.
Many healthcare facilities use our sound absorption solutions for walls and for ceilings for acoustic treatments that improve sound and are also visually appealing. Audimute Custom Image Acoustic Panels can communicate information or help create mood. Also, unlike other decorative printed panels, acoustic panels reduce echo, reverberation, and unwanted noise which would otherwise pass through from hallways or examination rooms.
To ensure private information is not unintentionally heard by others, soundproofing products such as our Sound Barriers may be needed. Sound barriers are designed to block sound from entering or exiting a space through air gaps and weaknesses in a structure, such as walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows. Our Peacemaker® Sound Barrier is perfect for soundproofing walls and our isolé® Sound Barrier Sheets are great for doors and windows. Couple isolé with an Acoustic Door Seal Kit on a door to best stop sound from leaking through.
