Abstract

This paper deals with noise problems in industrial sites adapted for commercial training venues. The room acoustics of such an object were analyzed in the scope of the reverberation time and potential acoustic adaptation measures are indicated. Identification and classification of noise sources in training facilities and gyms was carried out based on the acoustic measurements. The influence of rubber padding on impact and noise reduction was investigated in the case of chosen noise-intensive exercise activities performed in a previously described acoustic environment. Potential noise reduction measures are proposed in the form of excitation reduction, vibration isolation, and room acoustics adaptation.

Highlights

It is clear that acoustic levels will differ between enclosures, but the dominant noise sources will rem acoustic levels will differ between enclosures, but the dominant noise sources will remain similar
High LApeak values paired with poor room acoustics can potentially have a harmful influence on the wellbeing of trainees as well as reducing potentially have a harmful influence on the wellbeing of trainees as well as reducing the life comfort of other residents, and most certainly can initiate noise-related complains life comfort of other residents, and most certainly can initiate noise-related complains of others or nearby building users
Acoustic adaptation of training areas is especially important in the case of large industrial spaces that have been converted to training centers
