The room acoustics in the daycare center must be right
Too much noise at daycare? It doesn’t have to be that way, explains KAMAK room acoustics specialist Udo Dünisch in an interview with klein & groß.
He explains why some rooms get so loud and what can be done about it. Often, it’s the room itself.
When the acoustics are poor, everyone has to speak louder to be heard. That leads to even more noise.
Why does noise bother us in the first place? Our ears are actually accustomed to the quiet of nature. In loud rooms, we feel stressed because our bodies think they’re in danger.
What can be done? Udo Dünisch has a few easy-to-implement tips: place tablecloths on hard tables, put covers on chair legs, and play with wooden toys rather than loud Lego bricks. Important to know: Daycare providers are legally required to ensure good acoustics. This protects both children and caregivers from excessive noise.
