Echo Barrier Quiets East Village Tiki Bar, Bringing Peace To Neighbors
NEW YORK, April 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Echo Barrier USA (Echo Barrier) announced that the firm's acoustic barriers have helped Otto's Shrunken Head, a tiki bar and lounge located on East 14th Street in Manhattan, find a solution to noise created by the bar's live musical performances.
Helping a Local Business to be a Better Neighbor
The bar is located in the East Village. It hosts live musical acts, which produce large quantities of noise at night. Concerned about disturbing neighbors, Otto's sought to be proactive in reducing sound vibration coming through the walls of its performance space and reached out to Echo Barrier to find a solution.
Instant Solution with Long-Lasting Benefits
The bar required a noise dampening solution that was durable and waterproof, and that could be installed quickly to avoid losing business for the bar. Echo Barrier responded by installing several sound barriers throughout the space, which are lightweight, flexible, and perfectly suited for sound reduction for restaurants and events. The barriers absorb sound, rather than reflect it back to the source. Steve Pang, owner of Otto's Shrunken Head, noted, "The Echo Barriers immediately reduced the noise, allowing us to continue our business as a live music destination without disturbing our neighbors. We placed orders for more barriers after seeing how effective and easy they were to install."
Peter Wilson, Technical Director of Echo Barrier, stated, "Densely populated urban areas often create noise disputes between neighbors with different schedules or interests. Echo Barrier aims to prevent excessive noise pollution in packed urban spaces such as New York City to improve quality of life in these areas. Echo Barrier is proud to have continued our mission to provide quick and easy solutions to disruptive sound and bring peace and quiet to urban areas."
