Libraries and other study areas should provide an environment that minimizes distractions. Our tutorials on OVERALL NOISE LEVELS will provide useful information as to what can be accomplished and how to evaluate treatments.

Often ignored is the utility of sound masking in neutralizing extraneous noise and conversation. A library may be "so quiet you can hear a pin drop" so that even a whisper or the turning of pages will be a distraction. Masking can mitigate most of those distractions.

Acoustical panels are added to this multi-media facility to reduce distractions.
