Improving Classroom Acoustics

Poor acoustics in schools disrupts children’s learning and causes stress. The most vulnerable children suffer the most. If not dealt with, high noise levels in schools leads to rising inequality between children, loss of learning and health consequences.

Mount Abu School Delhi has always considered comfort in classroom teaching, as a top priority. They were keen to improve student teacher interaction in the classrooms, for which they collaborated with Ecophon to perform sound measurements and acoustically treat their classroom. Acoustic consultant (Deepanshu Gupta) was taken onboard to help with his expertise in taking measurements. Lowering the reverberation time and the sound pressure levels, contributed towards the listening comfort in classrooms. The results were evident once the treatment was done with Ecophon Advantage™ E and the same was validated by the pre and post treatment measurements done by the acoustic consultant.
