Facilities like recording studios and musical venues are built with a variety of noise-cancelling qualities, to establish an effective environment for their work. They need to be able to keep outside noises out, and they also need to keep their own noises contained as a courtesy to their neighbors. But the truth is that most offices, schools, and hotels are highly vulnerable to “noise pollution,” both from exterior locations, and from the employees and customers that use the space.

Over the past several years, the news has been filled with stories of armed gunmen attacking schools, government offices, shopping centers, and even movie theaters. These attacks are quick and unexpected, and have often resulted in mass casualties before police and other emergency personnel have had time to respond. Active shooter drills have now become as standard as fire and tornado drills for most schools and government offices, and all of us want to do whatever it takes to stay safe when disaster strikes.

Running an efficient business, school, or government office requires minimizing distractions, and one of the most common problems is noise pollution. This is particularly true for buildings located close to highways, airports, and railroad tracks, but any area where large amounts of people work together is going to frequently get noisy. There are also many places where soundproofing a room is important, such as recording studios, music rehearsal spaces, hotels, and conference rooms. Fortunately, installing Sound Transmission Control (STC) doors is a highly effective way to reduce excess noise, and create additional privacy for meetings where confidential information is being discussed.
