Acoustic panels or acoustic baffles are the solution to controlling noise levels and echoes in Gymnasiums
Why gyms become noisy or have echo problems & how to fix the problem
Any large space that consists of hard reflective surfaces such as a gymnasium is an ideal environment for sounds to be continually reflected of the walls, ceiling and floor which in turn will lead to a buildup in loud unwanted noise levels and echoes.
The best way to control these acoustic problems is by installing acoustic baffles or fitting acoustic foam panels to the ceiling or walls.

If you have ever walked into a gym that had not been treated with some form of acoustic foam, then you will be aware that you can hear the echoes of your own footsteps as you enter the gym. If you are bouncing a basket ball on the hard floor you will hear every bounce echo around the room. In gyms with poor acoustic characteristics, the echo can last anywhere from 8-11 seconds.
In addition most gyms need to install a sound system for public announcements as some gyms can also double up as assembly halls.
So it is critical that any sound system must be able to deliver intelligible announcements. The only way to solve the sound problems in most gyms is by installing some form of sound absorption foam panels or baffles.
By installing acoustic foam panels to the ceiling or walls or by using acoustic baffles as an alternative to the acoustic panels, he reverberation time of the room will be bought down to under 2.5 seconds. This will result in the elimination of echoes and unwanted noise.
