Watch this space for Mute’s progress…

Mute Soundproofing® recommences work on the remainder of the offices at Skype UK in Fitzrovia, London, following on from works in February 2011.

Mute was called back to continue work on the remaining London offices, addressing the issue of reverberation in all of their meeting rooms.

Using echo eliminating wall panels, a product sourced by Skype from the US and implemented at their offices in Palo Alto, California, Mute replicated the system throughout their meeting rooms in London. This same method will also be employed at their Luxembourg headquarters.

Wimbledon Park Primary School contracts Mute Soundproofing® to correct severe reverberation in their main assembly hall.

The school’s assembly hall, a pre-1900 build, was a veritable echo chamber, due to its construction (hard surfaces throughout and high domed ceiling), combined with en masse occupancy by children, for all manner of activities. The solution: Cloudsorption panels suspended from the ceiling, covering the appropriate surface area.

Mute Soundproofing® proud to feature in Deafness Research UK’s latest publication as a listed sponsor, for the contribution to the production of the publication and to the ongoing research of the charity.

Their collaborators include directors Vaughan Amell and Fredrik Bond, who are responsible for the music videos of Moby, Robbie Williams and Paloma Faith, to name but a few. Mute employed the Thin Wall System on both sides of a party wall, dividing two editing suites. Mute also executed a full ceiling investigation, to ensure no sound travelled over the party wall. ‘First day working in suite 1 and 2 and the boys say the soundproofing has made a significant improvement – happy bunnies!’ says the company manager, ‘so thank you very much, to you and your very professional team.’

Mute Soundproofing® brings calm to Cut Laser Cut’s studio, a precision cutting service for creatives and designers, in Vauxhall, London.

A high profile laser cutting service, based in Vauxhall, consulted Mute regarding noise pollution from an industrial extractor fan. A system was formulated to attenuate reverberation and reduce airborne sound transmission, incorporating high-density block-work, M20AD, Film Faced Absorber Barrier and SoundBlocker Quilt. The fan had initially been fixed to a mezzanine, causing vibration to resonate throughout the work space, therefore isolation of the fan from the core structure was required. Vibration and airborne noise were successfully contained, restoring quiet in the workplace, and creating a suitable environment for productivity. ’It’s a great success,’ says the Managing Director. ‘We’re very happy’.

Skype calls on Mute Soundproofing® to reduce reverberation at their UK headquarters in Fitzrovia, London.

Reverberation in one of Skype’s conference rooms was diminished by employing the latest method of sound absorption, called Cloudsorption. Panels are suspended horizontally from the ceiling, leaving an air space between them and the ceiling. The result is superior sound absorption (including that of low frequency ranges), because noise is soaked up both below and above the panels. Additionally Mute applied Echosorption; an acoustic tile with a mineral wool core and a treated surface. These tiles were fixed directly to the walls, which effectively dampened reverberation. Both methods combined to balance out echo, making the conference room a suitable space for carrying speech clearly; the voice travels without reflection, but it is still loud enough to be heard perfectly during meetings etc. Based on the success of this recent installation by Mute, work on the remainder of the Skype London headquarters is scheduled to go ahead in the near future.

Bodyism selects Mute Soundproofing® to sound insulate their private personal training studio in South Kensington, London.

Mute insulated the studio, employing the Thin Wall System, to reduce airborne soundtransmission through the party wall. This effectively prevented noise leakage to the adjoining residential property. By applying this system, incorporating M20AD panels, to the interior wall, unwanted sound waves were absorbed and blocked. As a result of the works, Bodyism’s clientele, which includes actors and royalty, can train discreetly, whilst nearby residents are undisturbed.

London School of Economic Science commissions Mute Soundproofing® to reduce airborne sound transmission between classrooms at their main campus in Marylebone, London.

Mute applied Acoustic Door Seal Kits to new and existing doors, significantly reducing the level of noise between classrooms and meeting rooms, whilst remaining sympathetic to the original style of the building. “It is very good that we have been able to preserve the period style of our doors and fittings…” says the general manager. “In particular, I would like to thank you for taking so much trouble to match the new doors to the pattern of the existing doors…” he continues, highlighting something which is particularly important when dealing with a Grade II listed building. Mute provides not only technical expertise, but also specific attention to design and finish; a solution to the noise problem combined with aesthetic awareness. “We would definitely use Mute again…” he concludes, “…in fact, the recent rooms that were done were prototypes for the whole building; there are another 20 rooms to do and we have decided to ask Mute to complete the work.”
