Nightclubs and related leisure facilities such as function rooms, pubs, bowling alleys, laser quests, etc. are a strong growth industry in noise and acoustics-related architecture.
The single biggest problem associated with this area of work is caused by the dramatic increase in low frequency noise, particularly the repetitive thump of modern dance music. Such low frequency thumping is not only highly disturbing and a frequent nuisance under the Environmental Protection Act, but also very difficult to control if not tackled properly.
