At Street level the conference suite features the 'Blues Bar'. With music over 100dB(a), serious club soundproofing was needed to satisfy street noise limits and the function rooms above. |

Club soundproofing in the Blues Bar ceiling was better than -50dB with no noticeable noise in the function rooms.
Club soundproofing to the Blues bar Walls was better than -70dB with no noticeable noise in the street.
Club sound proofing was achieved with SonaCel and Celbar. SonaCel stud frames were installed by the builder and finished with 2 x 12.5mm plasterboard, then a two man Oscar Acoustic's team filled in the ceiling and wall cavities with Celbar using specialist blowing machinery for dry filling closed cavities.

SonaCel dry lining to walls and ceilings achieves high performance at low mass ensuring that light weight steel structures and fast build principles can achieve high levels of noise insulation. The local authority required noise breakout (including beat music) to be at street ambient noise levels. |

The architect specified that the club sound proofing to the new venue should be:
