Reducing Hospital Noise Through Innovation Hospitals, particularly intensive care units (ICUs), are often plagued by high levels of noise from both medical equipment and staff activity. Recognising the negative impact of this noise on patient recovery and staff wellbeing, Metasonixx collaborated with clinicians to explore practical solutions. After conducting in-situ measurements in NHS hospitals, it…

We are pleased to share that the collaboration between STS Isolamenti srl and Metasonixx Ltd has immediately found an application. A leading company in the luxury sector has chosen acoustic metamaterials to improve acoustic comfort in their production area, after other techniques failed. By incorporating the patented SonoBlind panels by Metasonixx Ltd in its solutions, instead, STS…

Proud to share an exciting milestone in our collaboration with Autostrade per l’Italia! Over the past week, the Metasonixx Ltd team has been hard at work, conducting 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and 𝐨𝐧-𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 in open plan offices to test the performance of our 𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠-𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. Here we are in action, ensuring compliance with 𝐈𝐒𝐎 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 while integrating our…

As part of their strategic collaboration, QinetiQ has collaborated to showcase how Metasonixx’s Sonoblind air panels can be engineered to replace the grille in front of a vehicle’s engine, providing simultaneous benefits of temperature cooling and noise reduction. In conventional vehicle designs, noise reduction has traditionally been achieved by adding mass between the noise source…

Until today, acoustic metasurfaces have been stuck in two-dimensional planes. The “Curved surfaces” project brought together scientists from the University of Sussex, Metasonixx, with designers from Kivi Studio to create the first curved acoustic metasurfaces. Applications explored: MRI machines and heat pumps. First seen: UK Construction Week 2023 Funded by the UK Acoustic Network.

Immersive experiences are usually optimised for visuals, but it is sound that underpins the “feeling of being there”. In this project, along with Portal Devices, Owidgets and the University of Sussex, we used 13 suspended speakers to create a virtual multisensory experience. Applications: transportable immersive experiences. First seen: Reproduced Sound 2022 Funded by University of Sussex
