    The Starbucks up the street is much more acoustically comfortable, but the baked goods aren’t nearly a tasty.

    SPL IS MODERATE, BUT DECAY TIME IS LONG. THEREFORE: NOISEY

    While the SPL is moderate, speech intelligibility is not very good because of the long period of the sound decay. This is what happens in a big, open, high ceiling room with hard surfaces. Some acoustic treatment would make this space a lot more comfortable.

    Conversation requires shouting.

    Only 7 customers in here this morning but the noise is moderately high. Rock n roll music and kitchen noise make conversation a little bit more difficult than usual. However, the biscuit and coffee was good.

    Louder than usual. The company has made no effort at acoustic improvement in this space. High ceilings. Hard surfaces. At some times of day this place is very uncomfortable. During busy periods the Lombard Effect is painfully obvious.

    SPL is not too bad but the room is too “live” because of all the hard surfaces.

    This place has high ceilings, hard surfaces, an open kitchen and there is absolutely no acoustic treatment in this space. It couldn’t be worse if it were designed for maximum sound pressure.

    Surprisingly noisy this morning.

    Usually pretty quiet due to low occupancy. However, it gets noisy fast as customers arrive. The store has an open kitchen and service area, hard-surface walls and high ceiling, and absolutely no acoustic modifications or improvements. Some acoustic panels and ceiling clouds would make a big difference, but they are probably too expensive. Grand Central would have to sell a lot of cookies to afford to improve the acoustic environment

    Music is too loud. Not very many people in here but the noise is worse than usual for this time of morning.

    Early in the morning Grand Central Beaumont can be very quiet. The food’s good too. 🙂
