These bar stools have soundproofing underneath

    1. These are sound dampening tiles. They’re used to make it so noise doesn’t reverb like crazy in an environment with minimal cloth textures. Normally it would be harder to carry on conversations without stuff like this, curtains, couches, or carpet.

    2. They probably have it under their tables, too. It’s a classic move for restaurants with noise issues.

      I’m sittin’ on this barstool, fartin’ like a damned fool got the post-chili loose poops…

    4. This kind of sound dampening is so effective but so ugly and gets so dusty, and is then super hard to dust.

      This is brilliant. Nobody will see it there, it’s a hard surface that would reflect some sound, and it won’t get too dusty being on the underside.

      Wow, someone actually thinking. Costs nothing and I love to see someone actually paying attention to details. Thinking just a little harder is what makes the difference. Always.

    6. This ia more common than you realize. At one time I was in the world of restaurant management (I’m not from that world…) and stapling carpet remnants to the bottom of chairs was commonplace to reduce the sound. A cheap solution to a common problem.

      This anti homeless architecture is getting crazy

      Like now they can’t even sleep cozied up under a barstool

    8. As someone who has managed and worked in pro audio studios, every little bit helps more than you think. This plus under tables and a few on the ceiling can reduce reverb by a noticeable percent.

    9. I perform measurements and test materials and their applications in reverberation chambers and anechoic chambers. If the ridges are about an inch, and if they cover enough square footage in the volume of the room, it could aid in reducing higher-frequency reverberations in a hard-surfaced room.
