Recording Studio level soundproofing

Float Design and Architecture, Soundproofing

Why is soundproofing important when floating?

Have you ever tried to sleep while someone in your neighbourhood is having a loud  party? It is very annoying, right? Well the same happens when you go floating because your senses are so much more heightened.

When you are in a very quiet room, any external sound can be distracting – whether that be the sound of talking next door, footsteps, cars driving by or doors shutting. Our brains have become conditioned to be busy, all the time, and we have learned to “shut out” the noise when, in fact, we have simply stopped consciously listening. We may think that we have blocked out the noise but subconsciously, our brans are still actively processing these exteroceptive inputs and further expending energy to “block out” the noise. In this environment you are not giving your brain the full potential of increasing your interoceptive ability because it is also busy processing exteroceptive noise. I other articles I have talked in depth on the importance of interoceptive ability as it relates to treating various disorders.

Our Hamilton Float Clinic was built using recording studio level soundproofing. There are 4 elements of soundproofing and we strategically designed and implemented all 4 (Give me a shout if you’d like to learn about this more):

  1. Decoupling
  2. Absorption (insulation)
  3. Mass
  4. Damping

You can rest assured that the only sound your brain will be processing will be the sound of your internal workings (active interoception). Increased interoception is not only linked to treating a large number of  disorders but also helps creativity, decision making, visualisation and mindfulness.

Our Rooms

We set out to build our clinic to the highest standards of clinical floatation therapy. 

With this in mind we have have purpose built each room to the highest standard of soundproofing, air and temperature quality and light options

Air/Temperature

We have installed a high end Heat Recovery and Ventilation system with full zonal control for each float room so you won’t feel cold or stuffy. In fact, you should not “feel” anything during your float at all. One less external input that your brain has to process…

Active Interoception, Float Design and Architecture

There has been a lot of study into the effects of how active interoception increases our ability to take stock of how we’re doing. Research has shown that an increase in interoception can lead to higher levels of resilience and abilities to cope with stress as well as many other disorders (anxiety, addictions, insomnia, autism etc.). The problem is, we don’t take enough time to slow down and “listen” to how we’re actually doing inside.

When we float and experience feeling too cold or too hot, our brain is distracted from its active interoceptive potential and we have added an unnecessary input for our brain to process – not only are we distracted, we are also uncomfortable. A well thought out clinical float environment takes airflow and temperature into account when setting up the premises.

It is really important that you choose a float clinic that has intentionally designed an environment where your exteroception is minimised to enhance interoception. Are the rooms soundproof? Is there light coming through the ceiling or doors? Do you feel the water’s temperature? These are good question to know whether you are giving your brain the optimal environment to take your mind into an enhanced interoceptive state. If you are distracted by feeling hot, cold, stuffy (too much humidity – not enough fresh airflow) there’s a strong chance that you won’t receive the many benefits that come with increased interoception.

When building our Hamilton float clinic, we made sure that we do not cut corners on temperature and humidity control and have installed an individual zone controlled integrated heat recovery and ventilation system that keeps humidity, airflow and temperature at an optimal level – one less thing that your brain needs to process.
