we have a very bad echo in our restaurant any idea's for a low cost way to fix the problem?

Answer 1

Special sound absorbing material is available. Sometimes treating only the corners of the ceiling may help but, if you have large flat hard surfaced walls, you may need to cover them with some sort of cloth or sound absorbent material.

Answer 2

You had very good answers. We who are very hard of hearing never return to a noisy restaurant. The ability to converse is almost as important as the quality of the food.

In the long run, good sound deadening will have been worth it to you. It might be worth your while to engage the services of an acoustical engineer.

Answer 3

A variation on the advice others have given you is to hang decorative cloth banners that tie in the colors, decor and theme of your restaurant. They should be high enough not to chop up the space, but low enough to be effective for the purpose of buffering noise.

Answer 4

Depending on how high your ceilings are, you could hang panels from the ceiling, like hanging framed paintings from chains. The panels could be made of a soft, sound absorbing material, kind of like the compressed paper mache type egg cartons, but slightly thicker. They could be painted with simple geometric designs in colors that match the decor. If your ceiling isn't that high, the same panels, or corrugated foam panels, like the ones used in sound recording studios would be ideal.

Answer 5

not purely could those policies reason RATIONING-------the rationing could advance steadily worse 300 and sixty 5 days via 300 and sixty 5 days as further and extra well-being care experts flee their chosen container and much less human beings could want to pass into the sector of medicine because of the insane restraints.----and then like sands with the aid of an hour-glass the gadget could immediately replace into slowed down via a loss of qualified well-being care experts inflicting life-threatening long delays for care. Then we would desire to continuously communicate the genuine cost----not something is quite unfastened---somebody would desire to pay and the figures given do not upload up in any respect in spite of the main conservatives of estimates and all of us understand this is going to continuously run lots extra advantageous than estimates----probably inflicting our already compromised economic gadget to tumble out of control---we purely can not take care of to pay for those measures the two in terms of greenbacks and experience and the cost of suffering and absence of human lives that could ensue.

Answer 6

Add fabric to the place. Carpet would be great, but that could get very expensive and be quite costly to maintain. Try putting up cloth wall-hangings...quilts, tapestries, etc. Throw rugs or cloth mats would help.

Answer 7

Tablecloths and soft fabrics on the wall will deaden the echos.

Answer 8

off set sheet rock in between the light in the ceiling. or every other half board. take 2/4 lumber and stake the corners. FINISH two ends properly and your done

Answer 9

I suggest either installing foam insulation between rooms to keep sounds under wraps...

Or searching for Sound minimizing materials.

Answer 10
