Acoustics
MoreCom works with your architectural team to integrate acoustic solutions to achieve highly functional spaces. Areas of service include Acoustic testing, research, consultation and design. We offer acoustic solutions in vibration isolation, sound barriers, absorption and diffusion that integrate into the architecture in a manner that compliments the space.
Our acoustic team uses a variety of measurements and diagnostic tools to achieve your goals.
Speech Intelligibility: Measure and diagnose multiple room acoustic parameters including Speech Transition Index (STI), rapid speech transmission index (RASTI), articulation loss of contsonants (%ALONS), and clarity (C50).
Reverberation Time (RT60): Measurement of reverberation times to diagnose and determine acoustic treatment quantities and placement.
Noise Criteria: Measurement of background noise levels most commonly used metric for describing the ambient noise levels in an architectural space.
Building Facades: Measurement of building facades and roof/ceiling structures for sound transmission loss. Provide Outdoor Indoor Transmission Class (OITC) ratings.
Sound and Structural Flanking Investigations: We employ advanced acoustical testing techniques to diagnose sound transmission problems and flanking paths in buildings.
Frequency Responses: Measure and tune rooms and/or audio systems for optimized response.
