Oscar Acoustics HQ
This space’s acoustic foundation has been independently verified to the Sownd Affects Bronze standard - designed with noise-sensitive people in mind.
Bronze is the acoustic foundation tier of the SOWND Certification framework. Verified by ISVR Consulting.
What This Means For You
This space has been independently assessed and verified to the Sownd Affects Bronze standard - the acoustic foundation of the SOWND Certification framework. Bronze means the room itself has been designed and measured to a clear, verifiable threshold for reverberation and background noise. It’s the starting point for inclusive sound - with Silver (operational practices) and Gold (an optimised experience) building on top.
Reverberation and background noise have been measured against thresholds set with noise-sensitive people in mind - not just minimum building codes.
Not a self-declared label. Assessed against the SOWND Certification framework by Sownd Affects - an independent third party.
Thresholds set with noise-sensitive and neurodivergent people in mind. Inclusion is built into the foundation of the space, not added on later.
Bronze verifies the room. Silver adds day-to-day practices. Gold delivers an optimised experience. This is the foundation - and the start of the journey.
Sensitive to noise or hearing loss? Bronze covers the acoustic foundation, not every detail of the day. Speak to a member of the team - we’ll help where we can.
Designing your own space? Bronze is a clear, verifiable acoustic standard your architect or consultant can specify to - via SonaSpray, or any solution that meets the threshold. Ask Oscar Acoustics about the route in.
