to a \u201chave-to-have\u201d? On October 17, METROPOLIS partnered with acoustic solutions company, <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////turf.design///">Turf<\/a>, on a webinar that discussed the critical role of sound in the built environment. Moderated by editor in chief Avinash Rajagopal, \u201cHow to Design Better with Sound,\u201d underscored the importance of integrating sound as a fundamental design element, rather than an afterthought.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">The panelists\u2014Elizabeth Von Lehe, interior design director at <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////www.hdrinc.com///">HDR<\/a>; Carolyn Noble, design principal at <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////amesdesigncollective.com///">Ames Design Collective<\/a>; and Kimteri Kim, senior consultant for acoustics at <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////www.intertek.com///">Intertek<\/a>\u2014agreed that designers should consider acoustics throughout the creative process, from conceptual stages to final construction. Doing so can produce not only visually appealing spaces but also environments that positively impact emotional and physical well-being.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group none\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2024//11//231290-Morris-Manning-Martin-Custom-Freeform-HYL-Architecture-1.jpg/" alt=\"interior of an office showing acoustic ceiling treatment\" class=\"wp-image-113208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/231290-Morris-Manning-Martin-Custom-Freeform-HYL-Architecture-1.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/231290-Morris-Manning-Martin-Custom-Freeform-HYL-Architecture-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/231290-Morris-Manning-Martin-Custom-Freeform-HYL-Architecture-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/231290-Morris-Manning-Martin-Custom-Freeform-HYL-Architecture-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/231290-Morris-Manning-Martin-Custom-Freeform-HYL-Architecture-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Turf Custom Ceiling treatment for Morris, Manning, &#038; Martin Offices. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group none\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Designing Soundscapes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Noble launched the conversation by introducing the audience to the concept of soundscapes\u2014the textures, patterns, and types of sounds that make up the auditory environment. She explored geophony (the sounds of the earth), anthrophony (the sounds of humans), and biophony (the sounds of life), and how these soundscapes shape a space\u2019s sensory experience and even have the potential to reduce stress, pain, and even influence hormonal balance. \u201cSoundscapes can offer solace and remind us of our intrinsic connection to nature and the primordial. We\u2019re seeing a lot of mental and physical gains by integrating soundscapes,\u201d she noted. Noble also emphasized the growing importance of thinking about circadian rhythms, not only through lighting but through sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Elaborating on the nuances of incorporating sound into programming, Noble asked: \u201cWho are the inhabitants of the space, and what are their needs?\u201d While all spaces can benefit from acoustic design, not all spaces will approach sound in the same way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">As Von Lehe added later, creating cohesive acoustic environments should be as essential as selecting textures or lighting, because, \u201cno matter what you will be having an acoustic experience.\u201d While you may need a different acoustic design for a loud restaurant or theater compared to a corporate office, \u201cYou want to have good acoustics everywhere,\u201d she said. \u201cYou want to have thoughtful acoustics that are appropriate for healing environments in health care, you want acoustics that are appropriate for different workstyles in the workplace\u2014it is one of the senses that we need to be designing with in every market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1471\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2024//11//232015-Weiss-Plaid-Custom-Freeform-OTJ-1.jpg/" alt=\"interior of an office showing acoustic ceiling treatment\" class=\"wp-image-113209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/232015-Weiss-Plaid-Custom-Freeform-OTJ-1.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/232015-Weiss-Plaid-Custom-Freeform-OTJ-1-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/232015-Weiss-Plaid-Custom-Freeform-OTJ-1-1024x753.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/232015-Weiss-Plaid-Custom-Freeform-OTJ-1-768x565.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/232015-Weiss-Plaid-Custom-Freeform-OTJ-1-1536x1130.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Turf Custom ceiling solution from its Plaid collection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Going Beyond Noise Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Kimteri Kim elaborated on her experiences working on projects where acoustic adjustments were addressed only after construction. \u201cTypical acoustic metrics, like those for measuring background sounds and reverberation give us a starting point for assessing our environment. But when it comes to soundscapes, using standardized measurements could present some challenges because these metrics don\u2019t always capture the cultural context or individual sensitives,\u201d she explained, noting the importance of post-occupancy surveys and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">With this in mind, retrofitting spaces for acoustics can be challenging and costly; thus, Kim agreed with Noble and Von Lehe that integrating sound design from the beginning is critical. By considering acoustics as a core component of programming, designers can avoid timeline complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Kim noted that acoustic design is not merely about absorbing noise or blocking unwanted sounds. It also involves creating a balanced, continuous sound environment. Sound should flow between different spaces cohesively, rather than isolating certain areas acoustically. This holistic approach is especially vital in adaptive reuse projects, where programs change over time. These spaces often have unique acoustic challenges that need to be addressed before the move-in of a new owner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1322\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2024//11//Turf-NeoCon-2023-Showroom-1724_009.jpg/" alt=\"image of Turf's 2023 NeoCon showroom\" class=\"wp-image-113210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Turf-NeoCon-2023-Showroom-1724_009.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Turf-NeoCon-2023-Showroom-1724_009-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Turf-NeoCon-2023-Showroom-1724_009-1024x677.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Turf-NeoCon-2023-Showroom-1724_009-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Turf-NeoCon-2023-Showroom-1724_009-1536x1015.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Turf&#8217;s 2023 NeoCon showroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Practical Concerns and Innovative Solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">The Q&amp;A session illuminated several real-world issues designers face in their acoustic efforts. A question about creating soundscapes with recorded sounds prompted the panel to delve into the power of artificial soundscapes, provided they are purposefully selected and tailored to the specific environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Another audience member highlighted the challenges of incorporating sound-absorbing materials in public restrooms, where maintenance, privacy, and disinfection are concerns. The panelists suggested that durable materials designed for high-humidity areas, such as sealed acoustic panels or easily cleaned wall textures, could provide effective solutions without compromising hygiene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">The panelists also highlighted IWBI\u2019s <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////v2.wellcertified.com//en//wellv2//sound/">WELL Sound<\/a> concept, explaining that it is a valuable guide for determining appropriate sound levels across different building zones, aligning with specific user needs. The map serves as a framework for maintaining balanced acoustics, enhancing occupants\u2019 experience and productivity, and offering designers a structured approach to sound-based solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Moving Toward an Integrated Approach to Acoustics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Designing for sound is no longer a specialized consideration but a fundamental part of creating spaces that feel as good as they look. Overall, each panelist provided a fresh perspective on how to use sound as a tool that can transform space. As more designers integrate sound into their projects from the start, the potential for crafting truly multisensory, impactful environments continues to grow.
