Acoustical Smoke Vents Limit Noise at California Entertainment Center

Project Snapshot

• The Venue at Thunder Valley, a 4,500-seat entertainment venue, was built to replace an outdoor amphitheater and needed to address noise issues from a nearby rail line.

• The $100 million project, part of the Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln, Calif., incorporated acoustical smoke vents to reduce noise intrusion and improve acoustic quality for events.

BILCO Products

• BILCO supplied six acoustical smoke vents, each measuring 5 feet by 10 feet, designed to limit exterior noise.

• The vents were specified to meet high sound insulation standards, with OITC-46 and STC-50 ratings, to ensure minimal noise intrusion from the nearby train line.
