As working from home has become the new normal for many people, the need for acoustics solutions has become more prominent. From noisy neighbors, loud children, and barking dogs, distracting noises have created an environment where focused work is next to impossible. Home office soundproofing will help you re-establish your workspace at home.

What Are Acoustic Panels?

If you’re unfamiliar, acoustic panels are blocks of foam or fabric that attach to your walls and ceiling to absorb sound, effectively eliminating echo and preventing sound from escaping. These panels come in 1” and 2” thicknesses, with the 1” panels providing excellent sound absorption in your home office. 

There are two types of soundproofing: reduction and absorption. Noise from outside your home needs sound reduction, which reduces sound coming into your home. Sound absorption reduces echo by absorbing sounds created inside your home. Along with making your space a peaceful place to work, Engineered Acoustics is aware of ensuring the aesthetics match your home. 

Acoustic wall systems are durable and lightweight, adding functionality and style to your space and producing excellent sound. But every room has its own challenge; a “one size fits all” approach doesn’t work when it comes to acoustics. The acoustics of any space is influenced by multiple factors like size, shape, activity level, floor and ceiling treatment, and other nearby utilities. Acoustic panels can come in various styles, shapes, and patterns combined to create a continuous, acoustically absorptive architectural finish.

How Can Acoustic Panels Help?

If you have ever experienced too much echo in your space or even sound leaking out of your room, acoustic panels can help fix this problem. Whether you are on a zoom call or a phone call, echos can negatively impact the sound quality in your office and make it harder for your coworkers to understand you. The echo-reducing effect can also enhance audio performance by stopping sound reflection off walls. Although acoustic panels can be used to prevent sound from escaping a room, they can also be used to reduce outside noise from getting in. That means less street noise, loud children, or even barking dogs while you focus on work. 

Acoustic panels are not just for music studios and corporate offices; let them enhance your home office. Be confident, knowing you can work from home without excess echoes or outside noise seeping into your space.
