We enjoy dedicating time to conducting acoustic tests with unique items and are excited to share these findings with you as valued members of our extended acoustics community. Here are a few of our favorites: ??♂?Gym Crash Pads - these are commonly used in school gymnasiums to keep kids safe and reduce noise. So, how much sound do they really help eliminate? ?? Beer Bottles - a famous test from our lab back in 1968 was recreated using 221 empty glass bottles with the tops open. How did the bottles hold up? ?? Egg Cartons - you've seen it tried in music studios, but do egg cartons help absorb sound? See how 216 paper cartons in various configurations stood up to the test.

Independent & Accurate Testing of Building Materials and Consumer Products
关于我们
Founded in 1918 by Wallace Clement Sabine, Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories? (RAL) is recognized worldwide as a source of valid acoustical data in numerous commercial, civilian, and military specifications. Our acoustical engineers support clients with independent, accurate testing of building materials and consumer products, providing both the data and the expertise to identify solutions that give a measurable advantage to meet or exceed industry standards. With a staff of experts and advanced equipment, including six reverberation chambers as well as a fully equipped machine and tool shop, our team provides certified testing and analysis for sound transmission, absorption, and intensity for all kinds of building materials and consumer items, ranging from engines to hair dryers. We also develop solutions for equipment vibration isolation, noise abatement, and active silencing. The principal tests performed in the reverberation chambers involve sound absorption, sound transmission loss, impact sound transmission, sound power, sound pressure, and dB(A) measurements— all of which are monitored in a central control room. Whether NRC tests, E90 testing, STC tests, or other acoustical testing, we provide clients with printouts, including both data and graphical presentations, immediately following the completion of each test. RAL is accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) through the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for selected acoustical testing services conducted in accordance with established standards.
