BABICHacoustics provided acoustical consulting services for this single-family residence in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA. The homeowner was completing an interior renovation and was concerned about sound and impact insulation between a bedroom and the first-floor living space.

Structural vibration and vibration-induced noise are common challenges in modern building design and construction. These vibrations can come from everyday building systems, such as HVAC units, pumps, and other rotating machinery. While often unnoticed, they can manifest as subtle hums, stronger resonances, or even minor movements that impact how a building feels and functions.

The first step in the acoustical design process for a performing arts facility is to understand the program. Designing a theater used only for orchestra concerts is very different from designing a multi-purpose venue.

Intentionally getting to know the venue and the people who will use it is key to a successful design process!

Every year, our team volunteers with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank to give back to our region. This holiday season, the need is greater for those most vulnerable in our community, which means our local food bank is more essential than ever.

If you're in the Pittsburgh area, donations can be dropped off at 1 N. Linden St., Duquesne, PA 15110. We have also recently connected with Wilkinsburg Community Ministry; donations can be dropped off at 702-704 Wood Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15221.

If you're elsewhere, consider supporting your own local food bank(s) with your time or a contribution. Please share this post to help spread the word and support neighbors near and far! Thank you!

Please join us in welcoming Thomas Loescher to our team as a new acoustical consultant! Thomas is a talented musician who became interested in the physics of sound and how it interacts within a space, which led him to pursue a career in engineering. Thomas plays the cello, piano, and gamba, and has performed with the Michigan Philharmonic Orchestra, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra, and the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra. We are excited to have him on our team! https://www.babichacoustics.com/loescher

Proper sound isolation between spaces and the exterior of the building is another key component in the design of performing arts facilities.

In a renovation project, BABICHacoustics evaluates the acoustical conditions in the room in order to recommend the appropriate geometry, wall constructions, and acoustical treatments for the space.

This fall, as orchestras tune up and marching bands hit the field, we’re reminded of the impact performing arts makes in local communities.

At BABICHacoustics, we are proud to have worked with a variety of performing arts venues, from historic theaters to music education facilities. Our team of acousticians (many of whom are musicians themselves) bring a deep understanding of sound, design, and collaboration.

Theatres that serve multiple purposes often need variable acoustics. A presentation, a jazz concert, and an orchestra rehearsal place different demands on the space. That’s why we design with flexibility in mind. At BABICHacoustics, our goal is to create a high-quality auditory experience for every type of event and every seat in the house.
