What happens when science, architecture, cryptography, agriculture, and eccentric ambition all collide in one place?

Chapters 2 and 3 of The Sabines at Riverbank explore the fascinating world of Colonel George Fabyan and the extraordinary Riverbank estate, a "community of thinkers" where groundbreaking acoustical research existed alongside codebreaking, experimental laboratories, Japanese gardens, exotic animals, and some of the most unconventional scientific minds of the early 20th century.

These chapters reveal how Riverbank became far more than a laboratory. It became a hub for innovation that helped shape modern acoustics and American cryptography.

Summer is almost here, and soon beaches across the country will buzz with lively conversations blending into the sound of crashing waves.

In open environments like these, sand is often seen as just a surface underfoot, but how well does it actually absorb sound?

We tested a 5.5-inch layer of sand to evaluate its acoustic performance across a range of frequencies.

Check out our latest novelty test report to see what we discovered about the acoustic properties of sand.

🎉 Last night, the ASTM International E33 Committee celebrated a major milestone — 75 years of ASTM E90 Sound Transmission Loss testing.

We extend our congratulations to Riverbank's own Eric Wolfram on the conclusion of his successful term as Chair of the E33 Committee. His leadership has been instrumental in guiding the committee’s work and advancing acoustical testing practices.

A special thank you to Noral Stewart, who delivered a fascinating presentation on the history of sound transmission loss testing dating back more than a century. His insights highlighted just how far our industry has come in shaping modern acoustical standards.

Catalyst Acoustics Group was proud to sponsor the evening, and Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories is honored to continue our role at the forefront of acoustical testing innovation.
