Device to cut dance noise will have a spot at show
A Rugeley company which markets a state-of-the-art invention to solve noise problems generated by hotels, wedding venues, discos, clubs and bars is showing off the technology at the UK's only outdoor event exhibition.
Sound Ceilings is exhibiting at The Showman's Show at Newbury Showground, Berkshire, on October 17 and 18.
It is sharing a stand with RoderUK, the world's leading marquee hire company, which provided many of the temporary structures for the Olympics.
Sound Ceilings supply acoustic ceilings which direct sound into the area required – usually a dancefloor – but reduces it dramatically for anyone outside that area.
Using technology first developed in Sweden, the system reduces sound by as much as 50 per cent just a few metres away from the dancefloor, and deadens it completely further away.
The system is already proving popular with hotels, nightclubs and bars which have residents living nearby, solving the problem of noise nuisance and allowing them to generate more revenue from events without fear of upsetting the neighbours.
It can be installed as a permanent fitting, or as a temporary installation in marquees for weddings, discos and special events. It can also be used for conference venues and shops.
As well as the installation of the technology, Sound Ceilings also offers the services of its in-house planning consultant to deal with planning applications and licences.
Sound Ceilings owner Neil Morten said: "A significant drop-off in sound can be heard as soon as you step outside the column of sound created. Not only does it stop noise escaping the site, it allows sound to be directed to zoned areas. The days of the noisy neighbour are limited," he said.
Sound Ceilings is a sister company to GMP Design and Kribensis Leisure Contracts, who are leading designers and contractors in the international leisure industry and also based in Rugeley at the Towers Business Park.
