Reducing Noise and Echo in a Restaurant in Anzio

Project Overview

Located in the vibrant coastal town of Anzio, the restaurant "Tu Vuò Fà l’Americano" faced significant noise issues. Excessive reverberation from reflective surfaces and an open spatial layout created an unpleasant dining experience, particularly during peak hours. The restaurant’s management sought a solution that would improve acoustics and preserve the venue’s stylish and inviting atmosphere.

Challenge

Balancing function and design was the core challenge of this project. The acoustic treatment was needed to significantly reduce noise levels, especially during busy periods. The solution had to be integrated seamlessly with the restaurant’s aesthetic and enhance its atmosphere. Additionally, we needed to ensure a rapid installation process to minimise disruption to daily operations.

Scope of Work

• Assessing the restaurant’s acoustic challenges, including reverberation hotspots.
• Tailored acoustic solution that aligns with the restaurant’s theme.
• Quick installation to ensure business continuity.

Solution

To address the reverberation issues and enhance customer comfort, DECIBEL implemented:

• Ceiling Treatment: Installed clusters of Decibel Echo Cloud acoustic panels on the ceiling. The panels were strategically placed in key noise zones to maximise sound absorption.
• Aesthetic Integration: By varying the panels’ heights and orientations, we created a dynamic, visually appealing design that harmonised with the restaurant’s modern style.
• Optimised Acoustics: The Echo Cloud panels effectively reduced reverberation times, transforming the acoustics to allow clear conversation even during peak dining hours.

The result was a significant improvement in the dining experience, with a quieter, more comfortable environment that retained the restaurant’s chic and vibrant character.
