\n

Hedin Automotive Stavanger<\/strong> is Norway\u2019s largest BMW dealer and has now invested in effective soundproofing for its premises at Forus.  Hedin<\/a> has a total of 11 branches in Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge: sound and noise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hedin wanted to reduce reverberation and noise in the premises in order to create better conditions for showcasing the cars and improve working conditions for the staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An acoustic measurement of sound pressure and reverberation had already been carried out, and it revealed values that were too high compared with the requirements set out in the regulations and NS 8175:2012\/2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Norwegian Acoustics Centre developed a solution in collaboration with the client, and high-quality sound-absorbing panels in sound class A were installed in the premises. The requirements have now been met, and the result is better working conditions and a pleasant atmosphere.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tailored to BMW\u2019s showroom concept<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hedin wanted an effective sound-absorbing solution, whilst ensuring that we remained true to their concept and integrated the sound absorption as effectively as possible. We therefore used sound-absorbing panels in various sizes, shapes and colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We opted to have wall absorbers custom-made in a specific colour code. In some areas, the absorbers were fitted behind open shelving, and we also used decorative elements such as acoustic panels with wooden frames.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The result<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The end result is significantly improved acoustics and a visually appealing finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
