Too much noise in the kindergarten - what can be done?
In a kindergarten or daycare center, noise is almost unavoidable - from the excited, joyful chatter of the children to the clattering of toys and the acoustic signals of technical devices. Each of these noise sources contributes to the overall noise level. The result: a stressful environment that interferes with children's learning and play as well as with the staff's work.
In an environment where a large number of children are playing, jumping and running around, maybe shouting, well-being and concentration can suffer. In the worst case, constant high noise levels in the kindergarten can even lead to health problems. It is therefore important to implement noise reduction strategies in daycare centers and kindergartens.
At soniflex, we understand that every facility is unique and requires an individual solution. We offer effective sound-conditioning measures that will help you reduce the typical kindergarten noise to a minimum. For this, we take various factors into account, such as the size and design of the rooms (wall design), the number and age group of the children, as well as the specific activities that take place in the various areas of the facility.

Good acoustics in educational facilities for children
Creating an optimal acoustic environment is not only a question of comfort - it is an essential prerequisite for effective learning and teaching. There is more to the design of a kindergarten than the color of the walls or the choice of toys. It is just as important to optimize the acoustic conditions within the facility. Especially in educational institutions we have to keep in mind that noise can significantly impair learning capacity.
Younger children do not yet have the same ability as adults to focus on a conversation in noisy surroundings. They need an acoustically optimized environment in order to hear and understand clearly. A long reverberation time or loud background noises can strongly affect the children's concentration and comprehension. It is also well known that too much noise exposure leads to stress and fatigue for both children and teachers.
For this reason, soniflex places particular emphasis on creating pleasant and favorable acoustic conditions in educational facilities such as daycare centers. Our soundproofing solutions can significantly reduce the noise level in your kindergarten or other educational facility. This will create an environment that benefits both the children and the teachers and other caregivers, so that everyone can spend the day in a relaxed, pleasant environment.

Successfully reducing noise in the kindergarten: Customer testimonials
We from soniflex have already been able to help many kindergartens and other educational institutions meet their acoustic challenges. With the help of our close cooperation, the facilities were able to create a better environment for children and educators.
Below you will find two examples (a kindergarten and another educational facility) where the noise level has been successfully and sustainably reduced:
One kindergarten struggled with high noise levels in the various group rooms. This situation was very exhausting and tiring for both the children and the teachers working there. Following the installation soni COLOR RD sound absorber panels on the ceiling and the upper part of the walls, a significant improvement was observed. The children became more even-tempered and quieter since they no longer had to shout in order to drown out the noise of the other children in the room and to make themselves heard. In addition, the colored squares also create a friendly, cheerful atmosphere.
In another case, the acoustics in a classroom were significantly improved by installing our soni COMFORT soundproofing elements on the ceiling. This led to a considerable reduction in the noise level in the room and created a relaxed learning environment that promotes concentration. The sound-conditioning measure also significantly increases speech intelligibility.
Our customers' experience shows that soniflex solutions for noise control in kindergartens, daycare centers and schools are really effective and can make a big difference. In addition, what makes soniflex the ideal choice as a provider of solutions against "noise in the kindergarten" is the simple installation of our products and their high quality.
