Soundproofing panels have been added to the piano in the central plaza on the 2nd floor of ACTA Nishinomiya East Wing.

Apparently, the panels behind the piano are soundproofing panels.
Here’s how it looks from the front↓
The street piano had been installed there since 2020, and at first it could be played anytime. But due to noise concerns, about a year after it was installed, its hours were shortened to 12:00–17:00.

It would be nice if the sound only carried within the plaza. But since it inevitably echoes throughout the area, measures like this are probably understandable. I looked into soundproofing panels a bit, and it seems that installing them can reduce sound by around 10 to 20 decibels.
