USA: Echo Barrier quiets East Village Tiki Bar, bringing peace to neighbors

Posted by Magnet on May 24, 2015 10:40:00 AM | Uncategorised

Helping a Local Business to be a Better Neighbor The bar is located in the densely populated residential neighborhood of the East Village. It hosts live musical acts in its back room including rock and jazz performances as well as live comedy acts, which frequently fill the bar with patrons and produce large quantities of noise in the later hours of the night.
Concerned about disturbing neighbors, Otto’s sought to be proactive in reducing sound vibration coming through the walls of its performance space and reached out to Echo Barrier to find a solution. They needed to assure the continued use of their bar as a live music destination, but yet be considerate of any disturbance to the residential condominiums in the immediate area.

An Instant Solution with Long-Lasting Benefits The bar required a noise dampening solution that was durable and waterproof, and that could be installed quickly to avoid losing business for the bar. Echo Barrier responded by installing several of its easy-application sound barriers throughout the space, which are lightweight, flexible, and perfectly suited for sound reduction for restaurants and events. The barriers work by absorbing sound, rather than reflecting it back to the source. Steve Pang, owner of Otto’s Shrunken Head, noted, “The Echo Barriers immediately reduced the noise, allowing us to continue our business as a live music destination without disturbing our neighbors. We placed orders for more barriers after seeing how effective and easy they were to install.”

Peter Wilson, Technical Director of Echo Barrier, stated “Densely populated urban areas often create noise disputes between neighbors with different schedules or interests. Echo Barrier aims to prevent excessive noise pollution in packed urban spaces such as New York City to put neighbors on better terms with each other and improve quality of life in these areas.

Echo Barrier is proud to have continued our mission to provide quick and easy solutions to disruptive sound and bring peace and quiet to urban areas.”
