Sound reflects off of hard surfaces (walls, ceilings, floors) in rooms and continues to echo or reverberate often for long periods of time.

The lingering sound decreases speech intelligibility and generally makes communication difficult. As communication becomes more difficult, voices tend to rise, which only perpetuates the problem.

When treating the walls is not effective enough or not possible at all, baffles, clouds and ceiling panels can be used to lower the sound levels to an appropriate range.

Acoustic Baffles

Hanging Acoustic Baffles are 2-sided acoustical panels suspended perpendicular to the ceiling. Because both faces of the baffle are sound absorbing, you achieve more sound absorption per square foot of panel coverage. They are very effective in large, open areas by keeping sound at one end of the space from washing across to the other end.

Acoustic baffles are free hanging sound absorption products that are often used to acoustically treat large rooms such as gymnasiums and lobbies.

By hanging from the ceiling, baffles reside in space where sound tends to get “stuck”. This is because there isn’t anything up that high to absorb or diffuse the sound waves.

Generally, use acoustic baffles when wall space is limited or when the room is very large. Just like wall panels, they absorb both direct and reverberant sound.

The difference, however, is that all sides of a baffle are exposed and able to absorb sound. The increased surface area is one of the main reasons baffles are used in large spaces.

Acoustic Clouds

Hanging Acoustic Clouds are constructed the same as wall panels, but they use a different mounting method and are suspended parallel to the ceiling. This adds a design element to a space while lowering the noise levels. They can also be hung at an angle for a different look.

These decorative acoustic ceiling clouds can absorb up to 80% of the unwanted echoes in your space. However, the key in creating a successful soundproofing treatment is to ensure correct coverage. You will need to order the correct amount of acoustical clouds based on the size, shape and surface textures of your room.

In any case, acoustic clouds offer an ideal way to capture and convert the unwelcome echoes in your space to produce the premium sound values you are seeking.

Acoustic Ceiling Tiles

If your goal is to control your room’s acoustics with a cost effective sound absorbing drop ceiling tile system, the Overtone Acoustic Ceiling Tiles are right for you. Outperforming most standard grade commercial tiles with a strong NRC value, the Overtone Acoustics drop ceiling acoustic tiles look great and sound even better.

Overtone Ceiling Tiles are commercial grade 2’x4’ drop ceiling acoustic tiles that measure 1” thick and have a white nubby face finish to them. Made from compressed fiberglass, they are designed to fit an existing 2’x4’ drop ceiling grid system. These sound absorbing ceiling tiles are also available in a 2’x2’ panel.

 

Overtone Acoustics makes high-quality acoustic ceiling products for superior reverberation reduction and sound insulation.
