This lowers the level of ambient echo within a space, and in turn produces greater clarity to original sound.&nbsp; As a result, music sounds better, human voice is more intelligible, crowd noise subsides, and rooms are rendered more user friendly.&nbsp;

Concrete floors, hard reflective walls, block, brick, metal, washable surfaces that combine to reflect up to 97% of the bark of the dog.&nbsp;&nbsp; The repercussions of this echo carry thoughout the room, forcing excessive exposure to unwelcome noise levels.&nbsp;&nbsp; The key to collapsing the noise in a kennel is to understand that the soundproofing treatment doesn't make the "dogs"]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.controlnoise.com/discussion/rss-comments-entry-33182554.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>How to Soundproof a Gym</title><category>Gymnasium</category><dc:creator>NetWell Help Desk</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:48:49 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.controlnoise.com/discussion/2013/3/26/how-to-soundproof-a-gym.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">605239:8915468:33153052</guid><description><![CDATA[Gymnasiums are mostly big, over-sized, shoe box shaped rooms with 3 sets of parallel surfaces.&nbsp;&nbsp;
