The problem
After a busy day, an indoor pool is the ideal setting for a bit of rest and relaxation. At least: in the event of good acoustics. However, the presence of reverberation is a typical problem of indoor pools. The presence of lots of hard materials (tiling) and the water surface being as smooth as glass are both factors that cause massive sound reflections in the room.
Construction company Zeegers contacted us to deal with such an acoustic problem at a private residence. This private client’s indoor pool had lots of glass walls and high ceilings, where sound could reflect without obstruction and this created a high level of reverberation.
