Hanging ceiling sound baffles are flat, suspended elements made from sound-absorbing materials such as thick fibers (e.g., fiberglass, rock wool, mineral wool), porous materials, wood wool acoustic panels, or foam. These baffles can be suspended horizontally at a certain distance from hard surfaces (e.g., concrete, drywall, or low ceilings).
Applications of Hanging Ceiling Sound Baffles
Hanging ceiling sound baffles are a popular choice for reducing sound reverberation in the following spaces:
Educational environments.
Office spaces.
Meeting rooms.
Public areas (e.g., lobbies, reception areas, etc.).
Acoustic Performance of Hanging Ceiling Sound Baffles
Both the top and bottom surfaces of hanging ceiling sound baffles have sound-absorbing properties. Not only does the underside of the baffle absorb sound, but the top surface can also indirectly absorb sound. When sound waves hit the hard surface above, they then travel to the upper side of the sound-absorbing material. As a result, the distance between the acoustic baffle and the hard surface affects its sound absorption effectiveness. At approximately 1 meter or less, the further the sound-absorbing baffle is from the hard surface, the better its absorption of mid to high-frequency sounds.
The edges of hanging ceiling sound baffles also contribute to sound absorption. Therefore, a few large acoustic baffles will absorb more sound than several smaller baffles (with the same amount of absorbent material).
Acousound's hanging ceiling sound baffles are made from high-performance acoustic materials, specifically designed to reduce noise and enhance indoor acoustics. The suspended structure allows for flexible installation on ceilings, optimizing sound distribution within a space, reducing echoes and noise interference, and improving acoustic comfort. Whether in offices, conference rooms, or public entertainment venues, Acousound's hanging ceiling sound baffles effectively reduce noise, creating a quieter and more focused environment.
