Beyond its performance benefits for basketball players, NB brand basketball court wooden flooring also offers incredible acoustic advantages that drastically improve the atmosphere and experience for everyone inside an indoor basketball venue.

The multi-layer floating structure of the NB floor system absorbs impact noise from running feet and bouncing basketballs, reducing the echo and reverberation that is common in large empty indoor gymnasiums with hard concrete or synthetic floors. This means that the sound of the game feels far more natural and immersive, instead of being a loud, overwhelming roar that makes it impossible for players to hear their teammates call out plays, or for fans to clearly listen to in-arena announcements. The acoustic insulation layer built into the NB flooring system also prevents noise from the basketball court from traveling down to any rooms located below the gym, which is a huge benefit for multi-use buildings that have classrooms, offices, or other event spaces on lower floors. Many high schools that installed NB brand basketball court wooden flooring in their gyms reported that the noise level during packed basketball games dropped by 35% compared to their old synthetic floor, making the gym a far more comfortable space for spectators, and eliminating the problem of classes being disrupted by loud game noise from the gym above. The warm natural sound of a basketball bouncing on solid NB maple wood also creates that classic, nostalgic basketball arena sound that every basketball fan instantly recognizes and loves.
