PhonoTrack Overcomes Boardroom Noise Leakage

Hodgson and Hodgson has installed acoustic products to improve sound quality and reduce noise leakage in the boardroom of Tullow Oil, a leading independent oil and gas company. London-based Tullow is a dynamic industry player and one of the largest independent exploration and production companies in Europe. Noise leakage from its boardroom and other meeting rooms was a problem, not to mention a security issue, and the sound quality for video conferences in these rooms was poor.

Hodgson and Hodgson was asked to come up with a solution for improving the acoustic performance of these spaces and recommended PhonoTrack, a decorative stretched fabric acoustic treatment, specifically developed for internal walls.

The PhonoTrack installation within the boardroom has produced very pleasing results, as Jo Spearing of Tullow Oil explained: 'The sound quality within these rooms has improved greatly and, because sound leakage has been virtually eliminated, we are happier from a security point of view'. 'The improvement in the treated rooms has also meant less noise intrusion into surrounding spaces, so it's a win-win situation,' she said. 'Significantly, Hodgson and Hodgson was also able to do what other suppliers couldn't, and fit their product to a curved wall'.

PhonoTrack is used extensively in recording studios, cinemas, boardrooms, reception areas, theatres, video conference facilities, audiology suites, art galleries and auditoria.
