Reception & Waiting Room Acoustics
Whether it’s a new client, an interviewee, a guest or a patient, the reception area of your establishment is what’s going to give visitors their first impression. To accommodate a good first impression, your waiting/reception area should feel pleasant and welcoming. An echoey room that’s hard to hold a conversation in isn’t going to be all that pleasant for your visitors. By incorporating some sound absorbing materials into the design of your waiting area, you can reduce the amount of reverberation generated, giving more clarity to the sound within the space.
It’s not just in person that a reception needs to give a good first impression. Receptionists often first speak to people via phone call and a room with a reverberation problem is going to make speech clarity over the phone quite difficult. Acoustically treating your reception area will help keep the amount of echo down and make over the phone interactions much smoother.
