According to statistics, 30% of Europeans every night in their own homes are exposed to the negative effects of sounds with a volume of more than 55dB: the air conditioner is on, the dishwasher or washing machine is on, the neighbors are having a party … According to research by scientists, constant noise of this level affects memory, breathing rhythm, digestive and the nervous system. An effective solution to the problem is sound insulation. Rock wool slabs can reduce noise levels by> 58dB. This is 13dB more than structures without sound insulation. The human ear perceives a difference of only 10 dB as double. To show this in practice, ROCKWOOL created the "Labyrinth of Silence" at the Wild Mint Music Festival, because where else, if not in such a noisy place, to experiment with sound insulation?
Dozens of popular performers performed this year at an incendiary three-day festival in the Tula region. “Wild Mint” was held for the eighth time and attracted about 15,000 guests. Even the bad weather could not spoil the cheerful atmosphere of the event.
In order for those present to take a breath between the soundtracks, talk on the phone or just relax in a calm atmosphere, ROCKWOOL has created the "Labyrinth of Silence". A special zone on the territory of the festival was soundproofed with non-combustible plates ACOUSTIC BATTS and ACOUSTIC BATTS PRO. Thanks to the random arrangement of the fibers and the homogeneous structure of the materials, the boards exhibit excellent sound absorption properties and provide acoustic comfort in rooms.
The ROCKWOOL territory became a kind of refuge for numerous festival visitors, where they could not only enjoy the silence, but also warm up, because the stone wool slabs keep warm well. The faces of the people showed a genuine interest in the design. Coming out of the Labyrinth, they shared their impressions: “Indeed, quieter. Much quieter "," Is it because of this material so quiet ?! "," Not only quiet, but also warm."
