Healthcare Acoustics
Enhancing auditory comfort & well-being
Acoustics in Healthcare
The hard, easy-to-clean surfaces commonly used in hospitals and clinics create highly reverberant spaces, leading to prolonged reverberation times and a noisy, uncomfortable auditory environment.
Research shows that high noise levels contribute to patient stress, sleep disturbances and even prolonged recovery times. For medical staff, poor acoustics can lead to communication difficulties, reduced concentration, and increased fatigue.

Our acoustic surveys provide precise analysis of any space — from small meeting rooms to large open-plan environments. Using advanced measurement techniques, our team assesses your acoustic needs and delivers tailored recommendations. Most surveys are completed within 30 minutes to a full day, depending on scale.
Our acoustic design service includes detailed CAD drawings with wall elevation renderings, precise product placements, specifications, and verified performance ratings — all provided with every quotation.
We provide remote acoustic proposals using client drawings and photographs. Each proposal includes accurate product recommendations and detailed quotations for supply and installation, saving time without compromising precision.
We provide complimentary NTI RT60 testing to measure reverberation times and assess acoustic performance before and after treatment. This service ensures precise product specification and demonstrates measurable improvements in clarity and comfort.
We offer complimentary sound masking demonstrations for commercial clients, allowing you to experience the benefits firsthand. Sound masking improves speech privacy, reduces distractions, and enhances workplace productivity.
For projects with complex acoustic requirements, we provide a comprehensive audit package that includes detailed site testing and analysis. This chargeable service is fully credited if Resonics is contracted to deliver the acoustic treatments.
Acoustics for Better Care
Improving acoustics helps hospitals create a calmer atmosphere that supports patient comfort, faster recovery and improves communication.
We recommend antimicrobial, easy-to-clean panels that enhance acoustics while maintaining strict hygiene standards. At Resonics, we have successfully installed acoustic solutions in healthcare facilities across the UK, creating quieter, more effective spaces for healing and care.

From start to finish we handle everything
Consultation
Our acoustic consultants assess your space on-site (or remotely) and provide a detailed proposal. Every consultation includes acoustic design recommendations, product specifications, and reverberation analysis to ensure measurable improvements.
Assessment
We don’t just identify noise issues — we provide solutions that are cost-effective, design-conscious, and performance-led. Whether reducing echo, improving clarity, or addressing speech privacy, our expert guidance ensures the right acoustic fit for your space.
Design & Planning
Every project includes a tailored acoustic design with a free CAD proposal, showing product placement, specifications, and performance ratings. Our designs can blend seamlessly into interiors or become bold architectural features — always balancing form with function.
Supply & Installation
With over 5,000 projects completed nationwide, our in-house installation teams handle even the most complex acoustic projects. We work to strict health and safety standards, with IPAF-certified specialists, SSSTS/SMSTS-trained supervisors, and all installers CSCS accredited.
FAQs & tips for selecting the right acoustic products
Not usually. While it’s tempting to think “the more panels the better”, effective acoustic design is about strategic placement rather than full coverage. The goal is to control reverberation time and echo — once you reach the optimal level, adding more panels won’t improve performance and can make a room sound “dead”.
Our consultants calculate exactly how much treatment is needed based on room size, materials, and usage. Dependent on the existing room surfaces, often 15–25% of the wall and ceiling surfaces is enough. This allows you to integrate acoustic treatment without compromising aesthetics, using panels as design features, artwork, or ceiling elements.
Almost anywhere. We install acoustic solutions in:
- Offices and boardrooms
- Classrooms and lecture halls
- Restaurants and cafés
- Village halls and community centres
- Recording studios and performance spaces
- Homes and residential developments
- Swimming pools
Any space with hard, reflective surfaces can benefit. We’ve delivered over 5,000 installations across the UK and Europe — proving there’s no environment where good acoustics don’t matter.
Yes. Acoustic panels are proven to work — they absorb sound energy, reducing echo and controlling reverberation in a room. Without acoustic treatment, sound bounces around hard surfaces such as glass, plaster, concrete, or wood, creating a noisy and tiring environment. Panels are made from sound-absorbent materials that trap and dissipate this energy. The result is speech clarity, calmer background noise levels, and a more productive atmosphere. At Resonics, we only use panels tested in independent acoustic laboratories, ensuring their performance is certified and measurable. With more than 5,000 completed projects across the UK and Europe, we’ve seen first-hand how transformative they can be in offices, schools, restaurants, and community spaces.
