ACUSTEGAAI

Miami · Studios, venues and noise complaints

Your room doesn't sound bad because of the walls.
It's three things nobody measures.

Describe your space in plain language — no measurement microphone, no jargon — and get a diagnosis: what to treat, in what order, with materials you can actually source here. The diagnosis on screen is free.

Your air conditioning is the noise floor, not the street

In Miami the AC runs twelve months a year. A small grille forces the air to move fast, and fast air through a small opening hisses. That hiss lands in every vocal take you record. The fix is more grille area and slower air — not switching the system off while you track.

You already live inside a concrete box

Exterior walls here are concrete block and the slabs are concrete. The mass is already paid for. Sound isn't going through that wall — it's going out the door, the window and the air paths. Anyone selling you more mass for that wall is charging you for what you already own.

An A-weighted meter hides what gets you fined

Noise limits are written in dBA, and A-weighting discounts 63 Hz by roughly 26 dB. Your neighbour is complaining about the kick and the bass — exactly the part the meter is told to ignore. You can read under the limit and still get cited.

Got a noise complaint or a citation? Start here: what the Miami noise ordinance actually requires — Miami-Dade, City of Miami and Miami Beach each enforce it differently.
