Noise Control in Music Teaching Facilities

Abstract

o Perhaps in no other building type is noise control as critical as in music education facilities. Of obvious importance are the room acoustics considerations of spaces for music teaching, music performance, and rehearsal. Often, however, this limited aspect of the overall environment receives an inordinate amount of attention, to the exclusion of less glamorous features. Sound isolation between critical spaces and airhandling system noise control are often the determinants of the ultimate success and even the usability of the music teaching spaces.
