Hospitality
Too much noise in your café or event space? Learn how to reduce reverberation, improve speech intelligibility and choose the right acoustic panels for hospitality.
In cafés, restaurants and event spaces, a lively atmosphere is good – but too much noise causes complaints, stress and shorter visits. Hard surfaces like glass, concrete and tiles reflect sound, creating a loud and uncomfortable environment.
Why acoustics matter in hospitality
Poor acoustics can lead to:
- Guests struggling to understand each other
- Staff fatigue and higher stress levels
- Negative reviews about “noise” and “bad acoustics”
With the right acoustic panels, you can keep the energy in the room while making conversations pleasant.
Best acoustic solutions for cafés and event spaces
For hospitality, high-coverage wall and ceiling absorbers work best:
- Wall panels along long bare walls
- Ceiling panels or baffles above seating areas
- Extra treatment near the bar or stage area
PET panels are durable, easy to clean and available in many colours, making them ideal for public spaces.
Placement and coverage
Aim to cover a significant portion of the reflective surfaces:
- 20–40% of wall and ceiling area in very reverberant spaces
- Focus on areas where people sit and talk
- Combine different panel sizes for a balanced look
Acoustific can advise on layouts and provide custom-made solutions for your interior design.
