Gymnasium Sound Consultants

Someone once referred to a gymnasium as a “clanging metallic jungle” and it is easy to see how that phrase came about. The whole idea of a gym session is to do some serious physical work which will be of benefit to the body in the long run. It’s not a place for hanging out, so a certain amount of noise is not just inevitable but a valuable, perhaps motivating part of the experience.

Look at how attempts to make Formula 1 racing quieter have been met with resistance because the roar of the engines increases the excitement. We know a gym should sound like the workshop it is. However, nobody wants to lift weights and use a cross-trainer in a deafening room where you can’t hear yourself think. And as for the neighbours, the people either side and on the floors below and above, don’t derive anything good from the bang-bang rumble-rumble soundtrack of exertion. Read More

Sound Consultants for Gymnasium: How We Tone it Down

The quality of the equipment in a gym will have an affect on the overall atmosphere, but it is more to do with the walls, floor and ceiling. In the case of the floor, where most of the vibration happens, our team of gymnasium sound consultants will start by looking at what is underneath. A new building with concrete floors is very different from an old building with wooden joists and pine floorboards. But if that is what we are working with, we will find a way of minimising the transmission, softening the impact and generally containing the activity within the gym itself. Above the floor, echoing can be eliminated by the use of noise impact assessments, dampening materials and layers.

Contact us to Arrange a Gymnasium Acoustic Consultation

Before we can recommend a course of action and get a plan of action in place, our sound consultants for your gymnasium need to have a good look at the property, including experiencing it at full blast during a busy time. The initial contact can be by phone or email, or you can fill in the online enquiry form; here you will be prompted to attach any official paperwork such as planning applications. We will get back to you and arrange a meeting at your convenience, where you can talk us through your plans and concerns, and we can give you some initial thoughts before getting down to the business of drawing up acoustic testing performance plans and suggesting how the issue can best be tackled. From that basis we can refine the ideas and the transformation can begin.

We at Koikas Acoustics will, of course, have your best interests at heart, with the ultimate aim of making your gym a pleasure for your customers to spend time in, while you can enjoy harmonious relations with the neighbours. Our gymnasium acoustic consultants specialise in all aspects of noise and vibration control and we look forward to working with you. Read Less

Great service and excellent acoustic report from Koikas Acoustics. James who attended our site was really efficient, professional and friendly. James brought along a variety of premade flooring samples, so we had a lot of confidence in the outcomes, which enabled us to select the correct sound proofing mix to meet our acoustic by-laws. Highly recommended.

I am a project manager at DMC Building Group. We are a renovation company that works in the Sydney region. We recently engaged Koikas Acoustics to prepare a report for us in relation to a unit renovation at Lindfield to address the concerns of the body corporate. The service from Nick and his team was outstanding and the report was prepared and delivered on time and on budget. We could not be happier with their service. Highly recommended.
