  1. Where the noise in a golf simulator room comes from

    The bang of a shot has several parts: the screen strike, vibration through the structure and the room's echo. Here's how to tell them apart.

  2. Impact screens and nets: why some are louder than others

    What makers say about layers, foam backing, tension and wall gaps, and the questions to ask before you pay for a quieter screen or net.

  3. Hitting mats, floors and the thud you feel through the house

    Why a swing can be felt in another room, what floor impact ratings tell you, and what to ask about a mat or base layer before you buy.

  4. Echo in a simulator room: hard surfaces and how sound bounces

    Why a simulator room sounds boomy, which surfaces keep sound bouncing, and what absorbers and diffusers do, with the safety limits near the hitting area.

  5. How to measure the noise from your simulator

    How to check shot loudness with a phone app or a basic meter, what dB and dBA mean, and why a phone reading is a rough guide, not a verdict.

  6. Simulator noise and the neighbours

    Will a home golf simulator bother people next door or upstairs? How sound reaches them, what local noise rules can mean, and simple habits to try.
