Is Felt Good For Acoustics?

Noise has a significant impact on productivity: people find it difficult to work in noisy environments. Attention can be reduced by 71%. Absolute silence is also undesirable, as the slightest noise is amplified. The ideal working environment is the best balance between sound and quiet. Good acoustics depend on different factors, such as reverberation time and how the space is used.

Open workspaces are ideal for making the most of modern infrastructure and facilitating communication, but they can also be very noisy. A combination of metal, concrete, glass or tiles with low acoustic absorption can create particular resonance or noise, with all the problems that this entails.

Definition of Acoustic Felt Panels

Acoustic panels, acoustic baffles, sound panels and acoustic boards are just a few names for acoustic panels. However, no matter what you like to call these felt panels, they all serve the same purpose. Primarily, they reduce sound in the environment.

The list of acoustical solutions is constantly growing. In this industry, you will find a variety of solutions, including acoustic panels. Acoustic panels are not limited to acoustic baffles that are suspended from the ceiling. In addition, you will find many solutions to deal with your room, studio or conference room.

However, to understand these solutions, you must first understand what acoustic panels are. Acoustic panels use sound-absorbing materials to mitigate noise and reduce reverberation in a space. You can have vertical or horizontal panels; each uses the principles of absorption, diffusion and attenuation to help its performance.

Ever thought of using felt as an acoustical material?

Felt. Felt is made by pressing fibers together. The fibers used may be natural (mainly wool) or synthetic. Blends of the two are also common. Felt is durable and stable in the presence of moisture, lubricants, grease, salt, detergents, and is inert to many other chemicals. It is able to bend to uneven surfaces and prevent foreign objects from intruding beneath load-bearing areas.

Felt has almost permanent elasticity because it is composed of millions of individual fibers. The sound absorption properties of felt are the result of its optimum density and elasticity. The absorption of sound waves is achieved by the vibration of the individual fibers within the felt. The energy is dissipated through frictional heat loss. Due to its absorption method, a felt with too high a density will not generate sufficient vibrations. These qualities make it ideal for industrial sound insulation.

Do felt acoustic panels work?

Sound insulation panels work well to reduce mid- and high-frequency sound waves. However, acoustic panels do not block the lower end of frequencies with longer wavelengths. Therefore, felt panels are the ideal solution for anyone who does not need full soundproofing in their space.

Soundproofing includes any setup that completely blocks sound from entering or leaving a space. Sound deadening describes when the material reduces the amount of sound reverberation in the area. Due to the density of felt, it can be a great sound deadening option.

Deco Sound's acoustic felts are made of materials with good acoustic properties. They not only reduce noise, but also reduce pollutants in the room. Therefore, they are perfect for restaurants, noisy offices or your home. Our soundproofing felts are available in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors to meet the artistic and aesthetic requirements of your project, whether you choose a standard solution or a custom solution.
