Abstract

We describe the design of a sound‐reducing laboratory enclosure. The unit fits directly over the experiment and is hoisted to the ceiling during setup and adjustment stages. The advantages of the design are its modest cost, saving of space, and the fact that no door is required. The average sound isolation achieved is 30 dB, typical for a wall mass per unit area of 35 kg/m².
