Increasing awareness of noise levels in educational premises at Euronoise in Tampere

The classroom acoustics session at Euronoise consisted of 9 lectures on the 31st of May. Classroom acoustics was confirmed as a vivid area at the crossroad of room acoustics and occupational health.

Highlights from the session
- Stress indicators, such as heart activity are powerful to describe the incidence of poor room acoustics on teachers. (Tiesler)
- Improved room acoustics (T lowered from 0,7 s to 0,4 s) have an influence on sound pressure level in classroom. This influence is dramatically increased when it comes to modern teaching styles (see previous post on this subject) (Oberdoester)
- Dreadful room acoustic conditions have been measured in Italian sports halls. The risk of hearing damage is sometimes such that the teacher will leave the premises while the children are practising sports. Regulations exists and information to stakeholders is needed. (Maffei)
