Abstract
This paper discusses the analysis and retrofit of the acoustics in a high-volume beauty salon in Severna Park, Md. The major issues in what was intended to be a serene environment are reverberation times of 1–1.68 s in the mid-to upper frequency range and Background noise levels ranging from 73.4 to 64.6 dB in the mid to low frequency range. Employee and customer complaints include ear pain and tinnitus due to prolonged exposure to high background levels, heightened stress, vocal strain, headaches and poor speech intelligibility. Existing analysis and the acoustical retrofit resolution will be demonstrated.
