venting makes you feel better....
continuing with ideas for noise reduction....this is from hospitality magazine, an Australian source:
Nine tips for restaurateurs to help reduce noise levels:
1. Use acoustic fabric covered wall panels
2. Install sound-absorbing ceiling tiles
3. Consider fabrics and other soft furnishings in preference to wood and plastics (Carpets, curtains and tablecloths can all help to reduce noise)
4. Put rubber caps on chair legs
5. Consider retrofitting secondary acoustic windows to block out traffic and/or aircraft and train noise
6. Use petitions and barriers to break up sound paths
7. Use sound-absorbers to quell the sound of noisy machinery such as air-conditioning units
8. Ensure kitchen doors are soundproofed to block out kitchen noise
9. Ensure background music stays that way. Don’t pump up the volume.
