Baltimore County Public Schools- Stoneleigh Elementary School Cafeteria Acoustical Report

Stoneleigh Elementary, located in the Towson area, enrolls approximately 600 students annually between Kindergarten and 5th grade. The scope of this project included an assessment of noise in the cafeteria during the lunch period. Recommendations were provided to reduce noise levels and improve the signal to noise ratio during the lunch period. Project responsibilities involved analysis of the cafeteria’s finishes (walls, ceilings, and floors), acoustical measurements of the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) to determine noise levels during the lunch period, and reverberation time calculations. Additional absorptive materials were determined as necessary and suggested acoustical wall panel manufacturers were provided. Budget pricing was included with the recommended materials, and an estimated construction cost was given for the installation.
