Solving a Lift Shaft Noise in Hilton Park Lane
Project Overview
The Hilton Hotel in Park Lane, London, faced a persistent soundproofing challenge. Several guest rooms situated next to the lift shafts were experiencing low-frequency noise from the elevator system.
With a reputation for luxury and world-class comfort, the hotel required an effective solution that wouldn’t compromise its refined aesthetic.
Challenge
The affected walls included curved surfaces, complicating the use of traditional soundproofing systems.
The solution needed to be both technically precise and visually seamless to align with the hotel’s high design standards.
Scope of Work
- On-site consultation and acoustic assessment
- Prescription of suitable sound insulation for curved walls
- Installation of a multi-layer wall soundproofing system
- Execution across multiple floors during room refurbishments
Solution
DECIBEL installed MUTE SYSTEM for walls, equipped with the DClox decoupling mechanism to isolate structural vibrations. Its adaptability to curved surfaces made it ideal for the Hilton’s architectural requirements.
The installation took place floor by floor, aligned with the hotel’s renovation schedule to minimise disruption.
Result
The sound insulation significantly reduced the lift noise in the treated rooms, improving guest comfort and ensuring restful stays. The rooms retained their luxury appeal while meeting acoustic performance expectations.
In high-end hospitality, the guest experience is directly tied to acoustic comfort. Low-frequency mechanical noise from lifts or HVAC systems can undermine even the most beautifully designed spaces.
DECIBEL’s MUTE SYSTEM demonstrates how premium hotels can tackle structural noise without compromising on design or guest satisfaction.
