Martin,
The ASTC online Resource Area has a section devoted to sound in exhibitions
http://www.astc.org/resource/exhibits/index.htm#sound.
Some of the resources you'll find here come out of a workshop called
Listening to Exhibits, which was held in Phoenix, Arizona, in October 2001,
in conjunction with the ASTC Annual Conference. The workshop was designed to
heighten awareness of the museum soundscape-from ambient sound and noise to
sound as an element of multisensory exhibit experiences.
Controlling ambient noise, by Robert Fry is an article that you might find
helpful.

I need to combat noise drowning out exhibits.
Has anyone experience with Smart Amps, that raise the level of sound in
exhibits by measuring ambient sound levels?
I found
http://www.stoplisten.com/pdfs/smartampv2_instructions.pdf
but there maybe others. Any thoughts or experiences?
