Soundproofing Nursery and Daycare Centers

Nurseries and daycares take great care to keep children safe, happy, and healthy during their stay. One key to the success of good daycare is to ensure that the room stays relatively calm and quiet throughout the day. If the noise in the room begins to spike, voices can raise and generate levels of discomfort in the room. This can have a wearing effect on both the kids and the staff. The key to soundproofing a nursery or daycare space is to better control the ambient echoes in the room which in turn will produce a more user-friendly space.

How to Soundproof Your Nursery Room

To soundproof a Nursery, a series of Fabric Panels can be introduced into the space. Wall or ceiling mounted, these acoustic panels will combine to capture and convert the echoes out of the room, which in turn will deliver back greater clarity to the original sound. As the background noise in the room drops, the voices of the children scale back to acceptable levels, which in turn, increases the clarity to the original sound and a lower level of crowd noise in the room. The kids are more comfortable, and so is your staff, as premium sound quality is restored to your space. The key to the sound panel success is to ensure that you introduce the right amount of material. Use the Room Analysis button at the top or bottom of this page to feed us your room size, and in turn, we will report back your panel count and quote your project.

While excessive exposure to noise will cause harm to people of any age, it is especially harmful to children. A loud nursery environment can trigger unhealthy levels of stress and anxiety, so great care should be taken in controlling noise levels.  Acoustic panels can be used to lower the decibel level exposrue in the room.

What impact will a loud nursery have on staff?

Extended exposure to unwelcome nursery noise can create an unhappy staff. The employees that you have invested time and money in, who are likely terrific with kids, will be driven away from their jobs, leading to turnover, absenteeism, and a decrease in work quality, as well as adding to the expense of replacement training. When you soundproof your nursery, you protect the long-term viability of your business.

How can I block loud kid's voices from bleeding to adjoining rooms?

Sound panel layering systems can be placed onto existing walls, effectively blocking up to 90% of transmitted sound waves. The soundproofing treatment includes layering dB-Bloc onto your existing walls, then lining the treatment with a horizontal set of channel systems. A new layer of drywall is then attached. This wall soundproofing treatment introduces the technique of adding “density” and “disconnection” to an existing wall surface. We expand on this idea in our Wall Soundproofing section on our website.

How Sound Panels Can Be Used to Lower Noise Levels in a Nursery Setting

Without soundproofing a nursery, the children’s voices will carry and rebound inside the room, elevating noise exposure to uncomfortable levels. By placing sound panels in a nursery, you can absorb the unwelcome echoes that are spiking your noise levels. The lower levels of noise will help quiet and comfort the children.

Can sound panels double as bulletin boards?

Sound panels sized up to 4’x10’ can be placed lower on your perimeter wall surfaces. A thin membrane is added to the face of the raw material prior to being wrapped in cloth the color of your choice. This membrane allows your soundproofing panels to double as bulletin boards, where seasonal messages and art projects can hang.

Use our Room Analysis tool to submit your dimensions, and we will calculate your sound panel count and give you a quote on your project.
