The soni RESIST UV soundproofing panel is available in black and has excellent weather and UV resistance. Hence this product can be exposed to sunlight without concern and is ideal for use as a noise barrier to neighboring properties.
The advantages of soni RESIST UV:
- Extremely low water absorption
- High stability and structural strength
- Stain-resistant and easy to clean
- Good weather and UV resistance
- No medium for micro-organism growth
- Tested according to DIN 4102, B2
Instructions/recommended implementation:
For effective sound absorption, the material should be applied on the side of the sound source and not be covered with dense material so that the sound waves can enter the acoustic panel and be absorbed. We recommend covering the joints between the panels with suitable material (e.g. fence slats, aluminum strips) to prevent gaps. After installation, the surface can be planted with greenery (e.g. ivy) or covered with fence fabric. Such an air- and sound-permeable camouflage will only slightly reduce the sound absorption effect. For pictures of real-life applications and customer testimonials click here.

Description
Noise control for indoor swimming pools | sports facilities
Very large spaces with high ceilings as well as sound-hard floors and walls tend to cause unpleasant acoustic conditions, especially in sports facilities and indoor swimming pools. Bouncing balls, shouting during matches or applause from spectators often lead to an intolerably high noise level because the sounds waves strongly reverberate and will fade away only slowly. This causes stress for players and spectators alike.
Our highly effective noise control products provide an easy remedy to this acoustic problem. We offer mechanically robust products that are designed for use in sports facilities and swimming pools. They have passed an impact resistance test and/or are suitable for wet areas, among other advantages. Mounted on the ceiling and the walls, they effectively absorb the sound waves generated in the facility and thus ensure an ideal training and competition environment. This makes activities in sports halls or swimming pools a pleasant leisure experience.
Our product range also includes visually appealing and acoustically effective sound absorbers for gyms and home gyms. Mounting on ceilings and walls will be a breeze - and your sporting ambitions will be supported by pleasant room acoustics.
Acoustic conditions in swimming pools and sports halls: Challenges and solutions
Swimming pools and sports halls are often quite crowded places. This is why good acoustic conditions are of special importance there. Due to their size, their mostly hard and therefore sound-reflecting surfaces and the multiple sources of noise, this type of facility can pose a particular challenge in terms of acoustic optimization. Poor room acoustics may allow noise to build up to distractingly loud levels, which can impair communication and therefore also safety. This is why it is important to take appropriate acoustic measures that help create a pleasant and functioning environment.
Special challenges in swimming pools and sports halls
1. Long reverberation times:
The large, open spaces and the predominantly hard surfaces (such as tiles, concrete and glass) in swimming pools and sports halls strongly reflect sound. This leads to long reverberation times: Sound waves are reflected back and forth several times before they subside. This can make it considerably more difficult to understand speech and hence instructions; some persons may also react with headaches and fatigue.
2. Multiple noise sources:
In indoor swimming pools, the movement of the water as well as splashing, screaming and shouting all add up to quite high noise levels. In sports halls, the sound of bouncing balls, the running and jumping of athletes and the cheering of the spectators create a dynamic and often very loud noise experience.
3. Safety-critical communication:
In crowded sports halls it is essential that people can clearly hear and understand any instructions and announcements, especially in emergency situations. Poor acoustics can negatively impact comprehension and responsiveness.
Acoustic improvement measures
1. Sound-absorbing ceilings:
The use of sound-absorbing ceiling elements is an effective measure to reduce the reverberation time. These ceiling tiles are made of materials that absorb sound and thus prevent it from being reflected back and forth within the room. Our soni COMFORT is a perfectly suited product for use in gymnasiums and sports halls and, when used as a ceiling element, fulfills the ball impact resistance test as per DIN 18032-3.
2. Wall covers and acoustic panels
Acoustic panels installed on the walls can absorb sound waves and minimize the total sound-reflecting surface area. Acoustic panels such as soni RESIST are very easy to fix on the wall. The closed-cell PE foam panels are ideal for sports halls and swimming pools, since the material is impervious to contact with moisture or humidity.
3. Acoustic baffles:
Another effective means of absorbing sound are so-called baffles that are suspended vertically or horizontally underneath the ceiling. Baffles are particularly suitable for rooms with high ceilings where other measures are not sufficient. Thanks to its inherent stability and robustness, our material soni RESIST is ideal for use as a suspended baffle and scores with its sound-insulating and sound-absorbing properties.
4. Acoustic planning and simulation:
Ideally, the construction or renovation of swimming pools and sports halls should include acoustic considerations already at an early stage. A simulation of the acoustic situation will reveal potential problems and allow the definition and implementation of solutions before the construction is completed. However, the solutions offered by soniflex can also be implemented at a later time to ensure favorable acoustic conditions.
Advantages of good acoustic conditions
Well-designed measures for room acoustics in swimming pools and sports halls offer numerous advantages:
- Improved speech intelligibility: Good room acoustics ensure that the instructions of coaches, the comments of judges, as well as any emergency announcements are clearly heard and understood.
- Enhanced safety: In case of an emergency, announcements and instructions are easier to understand and follow, which increases the safety of athletes and visitors.
- Comfort and well-being: A well-designed acoustic environment contributes to the well-being of users, reduces the risk of stress or headaches and creates a more relaxed atmosphere that makes exercising or competing even more enjoyable.
- More efficient event organization: At sporting events or swimming competitions, participants and spectators alike will benefit from an optimized acoustic environment and appreciate the improved overall experience.
In a nutshell:
The acoustic conditions in swimming pools and sports halls are an important factor that should be carefully considered. With the help of modern acoustic solutions, facility operators can create a pleasant, safe and functioning environment. Such measures will not only improve the acoustic conditions during everyday activities, but also for special events, and ultimately increase the satisfaction and well-being of everybody present.
