Anechoic Chambers

Stockcode:

QuietStar is a UK anechoic chambers supplier. Anechoic chambers are unique acoustic testing enclosures used for research and development, enabling engineers and scientists to take precise acoustic measurements. Full anechoic (meaning no echo) rooms are lined on all six internal faces with absorbent material to completely absorb sound reflections in all directions. The lack of reflective surfaces in effect offers a complete free-field sphere around the object being evaluated meaning precise acoustic measurements can be taken from all directions. This is particularly important when trying to pinpoint sources of noise from a test subject.

At QuietStar we use wedges in the construction of our anechoic chambers, as these have been proven to absorb sound waves better than flat panels. The more absorption, the better the results for any research and development. Depending on what is being examined in the laboratory, access to the anechoic room may be via an acoustically transparent floor, or hung from wires / harness points located on the inner surfaces. For heavy or bulky items, our chambers can also be designed with a structural steel meshed floor to allow items to be manoeuvred into place with ease. QuietStar has even designed chambers with mechanically retractable floors which allow people to walk around the chamber and set up acoustic experiments and then once they are outside, simply retract the floor to maintain the absorbent finish.

About us

QuietStar Ltd provides a comprehensive selection of products and services for industrial noise control and architectural acoustics. We supply and install sound-insulating solutions, including architectural acoustic doors and windows. Additionally, we offer acoustic packages tailored for heavy industries, serving facilities like factories and mechanical plants.

Moreover, we offer sound-insulating products designed for specialised acoustic environments. QuietStar complies with all relevant regulations, ensuring that our products meet the highest standards for both acoustic performance and design quality. We frequently create tailored acoustic environments for TV production rooms, radio studios, voiceover booths, as well as vehicle testing and audiology facilities.

Our Services Include:

Anechoic Test Chambers
At QuietStar, we offer a comprehensive turnkey service for acoustic testing facilities, encompassing fully anechoic and semi-anechoic test rooms. Our end-to-end design service begins with the initial concept and design overview, followed by manufacturing, delivery, installation, final testing, and commissioning of the acoustic testing facility.

Acoustic Doors
QuietStar is a UK leader in designing, manufacturing, and installing a wide range of acoustic doors tailored to meet various noise reduction needs. With extensive experience across acoustic markets, including music production, audiology testing, and industrial applications, we adapt our solutions to specific conditions, considering factors like building architecture, noise source, and desired sound attenuation levels. Whether you need a standard acoustic door for a recording studio or a large automated sliding door for a factory, we offer soundproof products that effectively address any noise control challenge, including fire-rated acoustic doors.

Industrial Acoustics
Industrial acoustics encompasses a diverse array of needs and specifications. We understand that some projects demand increased flexibility, particularly when dealing with either permanent structures or temporary setups, like noisy construction sites that may utilise scaffolding. As a result, we provide both fixed and temporary acoustic solutions to meet these varying requirements.

Acoustic Windows
By employing multiple panes of glass with thicknesses ranging from 6.8mm to 25mm, our soundproofing capabilities are significantly enhanced. We utilise a distinctive timber frame system that is decoupled from the host wall to reduce vibration transmission, ensuring an optimal acoustic seal for soundproof windows. Different pane thicknesses and varying air gaps are strategically combined for studio windows and glazed screens, tailored to the host wall's thickness, construction, and the desired level of sound insulation.

Audiology Rooms
At QuietStar, we provide a wide selection of both standard and custom audiology test rooms, standalone audiometric testing booths, and complete hearing testing suites. Our audiology rooms guarantee noise reduction levels from Rw 30dB to over Rw 65dB. Our in-house design team ensures top-quality acoustic performance, offering comprehensive design services and ongoing after-sales support.

… And more.

QuietStar provides a comprehensive service for acoustic testing facilities, featuring fully equipped anechoic and semi-anechoic test rooms. Our design process for acoustic testing facilities starts with an initial design assessment and concept, followed by manufacturing, delivery, installation, final testing, and commissioning of the facility.

We work closely with you to understand your needs, and our all-inclusive service guarantees that we create the ideal acoustic test facility tailored to your specifications, maximising space efficiency and ensuring the facility is purpose-built.
