Acoustic Performance: The Role of Wood Floors in Arena Sound Quality

This article investigates how wooden basketball floors improve acoustics by reducing echoes and absorbing impact noise. It compares wood to concrete or synthetic floors in terms of sound transmission class (STC) and noise reduction coefficient (NRC). Architectural case studies of multipurpose arenas are included.

Key Points:

The science of sound absorption in wood
Integration with HVAC systems for optimal acoustics
Audience and player feedback on sound quality
