Acoustical Products Made in USA.
Airport terminals are large open environments filled with constant activity. Travelers move through the building while rolling luggage, speaking with airline staff, and waiting for boarding announcements. During busy travel periods, background noise inside terminals can reach 70–80 dB(A).
Because airport terminals often feature tall ceilings and wide open architectural spaces, sound reflections can travel throughout the entire building. Public address systems used for flight announcements must compete with background noise from crowds, luggage wheels, and conversations.
When sound reflects repeatedly from overhead surfaces, speech clarity decreases. Passengers may have difficulty hearing gate changes, boarding announcements, or security messages. In large terminals, reverberation can cause announcements to sound distorted or unclear, leading to confusion and delays.
Installing VibraCore® Acoustic Ceiling Banner Systems provides an effective solution for airport noise control. These architectural acoustic ceiling banners absorb sound from overhead spaces, reducing reverberation and improving speech clarity within large public environments. By controlling reflections, announcements become more intelligible, ensuring passengers receive critical information clearly.
With VibraCore® Acoustic Ceiling Banner Systems, terminal noise levels can often be reduced from 75–80 dB(A) to approximately 55–60 dB(A), allowing passengers to hear announcements more clearly throughout the building, enhancing both traveler experience and operational efficiency.
For airport facility managers, investing in architectural acoustic solutions not only improves passenger communication but also supports OSHA compliance and Department of Safety compliance. By proactively addressing noise challenges, airports demonstrate a commitment to safety, accessibility, and traveler satisfaction.
