Restaurant owners are spending money so that a big night out is actually decipherable. Hearing loss often hinges on an inability to pick out conversation amid a deluge of background noise, but new specialized technologies (some even involving rooms full of sensitive microphones) are giving restaurants a chance to turn your table into a bubble of audible dialogue.
The architect David Rockwell, who has designed hundreds of restaurants, said that questions about noise rise to the top of the priority list when new projects come along. Acoustic buffers and panels are nothing new, but restaurant designers are becoming more precise and scientific, working to create self-enclosed huddles of talk at each table without losing the low rumble of activity that makes a place feel alive.
