Sontext High Performance Acoustic Baffles

Noise pollution is a problem shared by all modern cities. Motor vehicles, industrial machines, planes, trains, construction works, music performance etc, all contribute to noise pollution. However, the real problem is that in cities we all live quite close together, and one person's noise problem may be another's pleasure. Not all sound is "noise" and many interior spaces in residential and commercial properties suffer from reverberation, or echo, which can cause pleasant sounds (like music, speech, etc) to be distorted. Reverberation problems can occur when sound waves are reflected off hard surfaces such as glass or concrete materials. Background noise does not have to be loud to cause irritation. Continuous exposure can even cause loss of productivity in the workplace, or hearing loss, besides producing stress. Sound absorbing panels are designed to minimise reverberation problems in interior spaces.

Acoustic Panels can be used to absorb background noise in conventional interior spaces such as offices, classrooms, halls, and most occupied public spaces, by easily attaching the panels to existing wall and ceiling linings like brick or plaster.. However, some building interiors, like workshops and machine shops for example, are not constructed with wall linings, so acoustic panels may need to be installed to the roof or the structural members. Spaces with these types of functions also have particular sound problems, such as heavy machinery, running motors, etc, that require very high performance sound absorbers. 
Sontext has experience in successfully treating noise problems in industrial applications with its range of Serenity Acoustic Baffles Ceiling Panels.

Acoustic Panels Control Reverberation

Acoustics is the science of sound. Acoustic Panels are designed to absorb unwanted sound (what we call noise), in interior spaces. These panels are commonly installed on walls and ceilings to minimise background noise and control reverberation in building interiors. A more descriptive name for these is Sound Absorbing Panels.

Minimising background noise and reverberation is particularly important in spaces that are designed for communication or performance, such as public spaces like auditoriums, concert halls, theatres, and entertainment venues of all kinds. Many kinds of commercial and educational spaces also require the benefits acoustic panels can supply - like boardrooms, recording studios, classrooms and halls. All these spaces involve a 'performance' of some kind - a speaker, music, possibly a public address system, and an audience of listeners. Sound waves reflecting off hard surfaces like masonry, glass and furniture, can cause "echo (reverberation), that in turn cases problems with speech clarity and even listening pleasure. Acoustic Panels provide a simple solution to this problem. They can be easily retrofitted to existing walls and ceilings in most interiors, or incorporated into new designs. The panel area required to overcome a background noise problem will vary according to the intended use of a space. Specialist manufacturers like Sontext can assist in this regard. Sontext can also help in choosing the style, color or pattern of the finished panels to blend with the overall aesthetics of the space.
