What is Sound Absorption?


Sound Absorption products are designed to reduce Echo and noise volumes within a room. Quite simply we make any space quieter and restore clarity.


Echo is sound energy repeating around a room. Sound energy will bounce off smooth hard surfaces much in the same way a rubber ball bounces off the ground. Although the direction of the sound changes, the echo sounds the same as the original sound. This creates an amplifying effect and makes everything seem very loud, often making conversation in these kind of spaces hard to understand.


What is The Difference between Soundproofing And Sound Absorption?


Here at The Soundproofing Store we often asked if you can use Sound Absorption for Soundproofing and unfortunately the short answer is no. These are two completely different sciences.



Does Soundproofing Foam Work To Block Noise?

Another regular question we are asked, is can you use soundproofing foam (thin egg box foam panels) for soundproofing against noisy neighbours, or building your own home studio Unfortunately The short answer is no

    Sound Absorption FAQs

    Sound absorption. Any questions you might have, we’re here to help

    • What is the difference between sound absorption and soundproofing?

      Soundproofing is trying to stop sound from getting into, or out of a room. E.g. blocking the sound from noisy neighbours. Sound absorption is making the acoustics within a room sound better, by reducing the amount of echo and reverberation.


    • How does sound absorption work?

      The soft materials used in our sound absorption panels are designed to absorb sound energy. This means when a sound wave hits the panel it stays there and doesn't bounce back into the room.

    • Can the sound absorption panels be customised?

      Depending on the type of panel, they are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. (In some instances with over 60 colours to choose from). Bespoke panels and designs can also be made 

    • How many panels will I need?

      The amount of panels needed is based on the dimensions of the room, the surface material and reverberation time. The quantity of panels to bring the reverberation time down is then calculated accordingly. 

    • Are sound absorption products easy to install?

      The sound absorption panels are extremely easy to install. No specialist tools are required and 95% are installed by customers themselves. Alternatively, a DIYer or local tradesperson would have no difficulty installing them. 

    • Can I attach paper to the panels to use as a message board?

      Yes, the foam panels can be used as a pin board.
