Hello,
The college I work at have just finished renovating an old hall in to a workable professional theatre space... I stipulated that I needed the control booth to be sound proofed for obvious reasons the plans came back and said that the insulation will be to a minimum of 49db. Now the room is finished and I have been in I can clearly hear what is going on out side and if i am talking to just above normal speaking level people can hear me when I'm in the booth. should this be right or are there some things that are compromising the insulation. For instance they have put ceiling lights that are cut into the false ceiling and not covered. Also there is an extra fan which has been placed on the side of the booth near the front. My question is at 49db should I still be able to hear outside noise or are these extra factors compromising the insulation.
Thank you for reading this and answering if you can. I need to tell the contractors before they leave and sign the building off...
Cheers
