That sounds like a good result to me. Can you do anything to the floor? Russell |
| awemawson:
Probably not Russell, it’s very uneven concrete, about all I could possibly do is lay some cork tiles, but they’d not lay flat and be a trip hazard |

You need some sort of 'labyrinth' or baffle so the noise has to bounce around to escape. Like this - - - - - - - - - - - - - ------ - - - - - - This technique is used eg to reduce sound from a dust extraction enclosure. Would paint really be flammable once it dries? I thought after the solvent is gone, it's mainly pigment and binder especially water based. For the floor, what about that soft-fall used in playgrounds? Some sort of crumb rubber. Or carpet / outdoor carpet / artificial grass.. Really make the cell comfy... -russ |

Seems the new thing in sound engineering is "psychoacoustics". Fancy sounding stuff but it refers to the nature of the noise as much as the absolute noise level itself. For example, a leaf blower may not be massively noisy but could get you killed, whereas a serene throbbing noise at the same level might make you friends. I suspect I have a fairly good idea what a loaded diesel generator sounds like ie not too unpleasant. |

Well a friend popped round yesterday and I demonstrated the generator and it’s noise and he, being an ex HGV driver was ecstatic about the sound. Thought it sounded great! But I can imagine that if you are on a long awaited paid for holiday it’s perhaps not what you want while dining al fresco in the courtyard :clap: |
