When airborne sound waves hit a water surface, a large portion of the sound's energy reflects back into the air. This reflection is what creates clear echoes across lakes and rivers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; margin-bottom: 18.0pt; line-height: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003eAquatic Centres typically have acoustically noisy environments, with various hard finishes such as tiling and concrete, providing opportunities for reverberated sound to bounce from one surface to another. The noises from swimming, talking, and children playing can result in an overall extremely noisy environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; margin-bottom: 18.0pt; line-height: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003eNoise levels in swimming pool areas should be controlled to allow speech comprehension, short reverberation times with minimal echo are crucial for speech intelligibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; margin-bottom: 18.0pt; line-height: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003eIt is important for Swimming pools to provide an acoustic environment to enable people to enjoy their leisure, or clearly hear instructions from swimming teachers, or clearly hear important safety announcements from pool staff and or life guards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; margin-bottom: 18.0pt; line-height: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003eAbsorptive materials will improve the speech intelligibility and allow more effective communication in such noisy environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; margin-bottom: 18.0pt; line-height: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003eTo address Aquatic Centre noise Quiet Art offer Quietfoam W an acoustic solution that is waterproof, humidity proof, bacteria proof, chlorine and cleaning chemical resistant.
