FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most about acoustic panels — how they work, where to put them and which type suits your space.

    What spaces can benefit from acoustic panels?

    Excess noise can be a significant problem in various settings, from homes and offices to entertainment venues.

    Fortunately, acoustic solutions such as acoustic panels, wall panels, and ceiling tiles can help reduce background noise and create a quieter space.

    Hard surfaces in a room, such as walls and floors, can cause unwanted sound reflections, leading to an increase in background noise.

    Acoustic panels can absorb these sound waves and reduce reverberation, leading to a more comfortable space.

    By placing acoustic panels strategically in a room, it’s possible to significantly reduce the amount of background noise and create a more peaceful environment.

    Do acoustic panels really work?

    Yes, acoustic panels really work! They are designed to absorb sound waves and reduce unwanted noise, making your space more comfortable and peaceful. With proper installation, acoustic panels can significantly improve sound quality and reduce reverberation in any room.

    Where should acoustic panels be placed in a room?

    Our acoustic panels should be placed strategically in a room to maximize their sound absorption properties. Generally, it’s best to place them on walls and ceilings where sound reflections

    Do acoustic panels block WIFI?

    Our acoustic panels do not block WIFI signals. However, if the panels are improperly installed and reflect sound waves, they could potentially interfere with WIFI signals.

    What types of acoustic panels are there?

    There are different types of acoustic panels, including wall panels, ceiling panels, and tiles. Each type has its own unique properties, and the best choice will depend on your specific needs and preferences.

    How do they work?

    Our acoustic panels work by absorbing sound waves and reducing their reflection. They are made from soft, porous materials that trap sound waves and prevent them from bouncing back and forth. This reduces echoes and reverberation, making the sound in the room clearer and more enjoyable.

    Is Acoustic Treatment the Solution to Your Noisy Space?

    Yes, acoustic panels really work! They are designed to absorb sound waves and reduce unwanted noise, making your space more comfortable and peaceful. With proper installation, our acoustic panels can significantly improve sound quality and reduce reverberation in any room.

    Which Types of Acoustic Panels Are Right for Your Space?

    There are different types of acoustic tiles, including wall panels, ceiling panels, and tiles. We’re pleased to provide many different shapes, sizes, and colors, allowing you to choose the one that suits your needs and preferences.

    How Can Acoustic Panels Enhance Your Audio Experience?

    Our sound absorbing panels work by absorbing sound waves and reducing their reflection. They are made from soft, porous materials that trap sound waves and prevent them from bouncing back and forth. This reduces echoes and reverberation, making the sound in the room clearer and more enjoyable.

    Can Acoustic Panels Really Transform Your Room’s Sound Quality?

    Our sound-absorbing panels are specially designed materials that are installed on walls, ceilings, and floors to absorb and diffuse sound waves. They help to reduce echoes, reverberation, and unwanted noise, creating a more comfortable and peaceful environment.

    Mumble Acoustic Panels are made from up to 80% recycled PET plastic Bottles. Mumble is committed to sustainability. By choosing eco-friendly acoustic solutions, you can not only improve the room acoustics of your space but also contribute to reducing your carbon footprint.

    How long do acoustic panels last?

    The lifespan of acoustic panels depends on several factors, such as the quality of the materials used, the environment they are installed in, and the level of wear and tear they are subjected to. Generally, high-quality acoustic panels can last in excess of 10 years with proper care and maintenance. However, it is important to note that over time, the effectiveness of the panels may diminish, and they may need to be replaced. Please check the warranty details on each product page as they may differ from product to product.

    Is Acoustics the same thing as Sound Proofing?

    No, acoustics and soundproofing are not the same thing. While both involve the management of sound, they serve different purposes and use different techniques. Here’s a detailed explanation of each:

    Acoustics

    Acoustics focuses on how sound behaves, travels, and interacts with surfaces in a room to improve or enhance sound quality. Acoustics is concerned with the clarity, volume, and quality of sound in an environment.

    Soundproofing

    Soundproofing is the process of preventing sound from entering or leaving a space. It focuses on blocking or reducing noise transmission between areas, ensuring that unwanted noise is minimized.

    Understanding the difference between these two concepts is crucial for designing spaces that meet specific sound requirements. Whether you’re looking to create a quiet environment or optimize sound quality, it’s important to choose the right approach based on your needs.

    Do you also help with the installation?

    Yes. After we have helped you find which hanging room divider is best for your needs and budget, our team of installation experts will come to your office space to ensure the dividers are installed with utmost precision.

    Can acoustic panels block neighbours’ noise?

    While acoustic panels are fantastic at reducing noise within a room, they aren’t specifically designed to block outside noise. However, that doesn’t mean they’re useless in this situation! Acoustic panels can still absorb some of the sound coming from outside, but it’s important to understand that they don’t work like traditional soundproof panels.

    It’s worth noting that soundproof panels and acoustic treatment are two separate things, serving different purposes. Soundproofing is all about blocking noise, whereas acoustic treatment focuses on improving sound quality within a space. So, if you’re looking to block noise from your neighbours more effectively, you might need to consider additional soundproofing measures, such as installing insulation or using specialised soundproofing materials.

    How do acoustic sound panels really work?

    Acoustic panels come with dents (or perforations for acoustic panels) that help absorb and diffuse soundwaves, which in turn reduces echo and reverberation. Plus, when you hang them from the ceiling, they become even more effective at absorbing sound, making your space quieter.

    Now, what makes acoustic panels so good at their job? They’re usually made from soft, pliable, or porous materials like fabrics, which are excellent sound absorbers. On the other hand, dense and hard materials like metals and concrete reflect sound energy, so they’re not the best for noise reduction.

    Do acoustic panels reduce noise?

    Acoustic panels not only make spaces more comfortable but also boost productivity by cutting down distractions from excessive noise.

    Just one fully covered acoustic panel wall can improve sound quality, but for an even better result, it’s wise to cover at least 15-30% of the room’s total hard surface area. So, by managing and reducing noise effectively, acoustic panels create a more enjoyable atmosphere in various settings, from offices and schools to homes and entertainment venues.
