Understanding Acoustics - Sound Absorption vs Sound Attenuation
Understanding the difference between sound absorption and sound attenuation can be very helpful when choosing ceiling solutions.
Sound absorption relates to the control of sound reflections within a room. When a ceiling absorbs sound, the occupants of the room enjoy more comfortable conditions for talking and listening.
Sound attenuation relates to the control of sound transmission between adjacent rooms (moving through a common void via a continuous suspended ceiling, for example), the occupants of each of the neighbouring rooms enjoy their privacy without being disturbed by noise next door.
We are here to help with any advice you need on the most suitable acoustic ceiling solution for your project requirements.
