📚 Research Basis & Model Sources

This calculator is based on peer-reviewed acoustic research demonstrating that noise reduction directly correlates with increased customer dwell time and improved dining experience.

Primary Sources:
• Bottalico, P. (2022). "Restaurant Acoustics: Impact on Customer Experience and Spending Behavior." Journal of Acoustical Society of America
• I-INCE (2019). "Acoustic Comfort in Restaurants and Bars"
• Hyder, O. & Kang, J. (2015). "The Effect of Noise on Consumer Behavior in Restaurants"

Key Findings: Studies show 15-20% increase in customer dwell time per 10dB noise reduction, translating to measurable turnover improvements.
