Acoustic Score

A free acoustic reading for rooms that feel louder, harsher, or less focused than they should. Answer a few plain-English questions and get a score, an estimated reverberation range, and three first changes worth testing.

No acoustic knowledge needed.

What you get

A score, a range, and three first moves

01 / Score

A clear room health score from zero to one hundred.

02 / RT60 estimate

An estimated reverberation range for your space type.

03 / First changes

The first surfaces and interventions worth testing.

04 / Free

No payment, no account.

A reading of how your room behaves

Dimensions, type of space, major surfaces, furnishing level, what the space is used for. Things that drive how a room sounds, in plain English.

01

Health score

A single number from zero to one hundred. How close your room sits to a reasonable target for its type and use.

02

Reverberation range

Your likely RT60, given what you told us. A range, not a single value, because we want to be honest about the margin.

03

Three first changes

Ceiling first, or back wall first, or absorption near the listening position. Where treatment will have the most impact.

RT60. Sample readingFrom the report
Sample RT60 reading from the report. Target range 0.4 to 0.7 seconds shown as a green block; estimated room range 1.3 to 1.8 seconds shown as a vermilion outlined band.

RT60. The seconds it takes for a sound inside a room to fade by sixty decibels after the source stops. The standard way to describe how long sound lingers in a space. A cathedral sits at six seconds or more. A well-treated office sits below half a second.

Reverberation reading

Estimated RT60 against your space-type target.

03

Diagnosis

Which surfaces work with you, which work against.

04

What to test first

Three concrete, low-cost changes worth trying.

05

Budget range

What treatment is likely to cost, in EUR. A range, not a quote.

Sixty seconds. Check your space.

What it cannot tell you yet

The Score is triage. Knowing where the boundary is makes the rest of the process feel clearer.

Precise measurement

Exact frequency response at the listening position and where standing waves sit need on-site measurement with calibrated instruments.

Specification and compliance

A complete treatment plan with panel quantities and placement comes in the next stage. For regulated environments (concert halls, broadcast facilities, courtrooms), a credentialed engineer with on-site instruments is the right answer.

The model's edge

The Score works with the major variables, not every object in the room. A bookshelf full of irregular things or heavy curtains can shift results in ways the inputs cannot capture.

When any of these matter, the next step is the Acoustic Analysis. Free, expert-led, delivered in 48 hours.

Where the Score works

01

Office

Calibrated against focused-work targets. Reads what gets in the way of clarity and quiet.

02

Hospitality

Calibrated against full-room comfort. Reads how the space holds up when busy.

03

Studios

From pro studios to home setups. Calibrated tighter for music, podcasting, gaming, listening.

04

Architects

Run the Score across a project, room by room, where treatment will matter most.

Take the Score

Stop guessing what the room needs. About sixty seconds. No account, no payment, no follow-up call.

Common questions

Q1

How long does it take?

Around sixty seconds. The reading appears on screen and arrives in your inbox.

Q2

Do I need technical knowledge?

No. Plain English throughout.

Q3

Is this for soundproofing or acoustic treatment?

Acoustic treatment. The Score measures how a room behaves with sound that is already inside it. Soundproofing stops sound passing through walls and floors. Different problem, different fix.

How is the score calculated?

RT60-based estimation, using published absorption coefficients, the geometry of your room, and the target reverberation range for your space type. Calibrated against real project data from rooms we have measured and treated.

Q4

What do I receive at the end?

A score, an estimated reverberation range, a short diagnosis, three first changes, and a sense of treatment cost if the room needs it.

Q5

Is this a quote?

No. If your room needs treatment, the Score may show a budget range. A first estimate, not a quote. A precise price comes after Acoustic Analysis.

What if my room is unusual?

The Score works best on rooms with regular geometry. If yours is unusual, the result will flag low confidence and point you at a free Acoustic Analysis.
