Many designer friends are asking me what is the difference between soundproof panels and sound-absorbing panelsFirst of all, the professional terms for sound insulation and sound absorption are: sound insulation and sound absorption, sound absorption and sound insulation They are two different acoustic treatment methods, and their main difference is that their functions and principles are different. Sound insulation materials are denser, while sound absorbing materials are smaller.
Let's first look at sound insulation, sound insulation is to block sound, through the use of sound insulation materials or sound insulation structures, so that the sound cannot pass through, in order to weaken the transmission of noise.
Sound absorption is the process of passing sound through a sound-absorbing material or structure, which can convert sound into heat energy to reduce echo and reverberation, thereby reducing indoor noise and controlling reverberation time.
Sound insulation is to solve the sound energy of two different spaces, and sound absorption is to solve the sound energy in the same space, so many designers use sound absorption materials as sound insulation panels, and ask everywhere why the sound insulation is so poor when the sound absorption panels are installed.
When buying acoustic materials, we must distinguish clearly, many online merchants are not very professional, and will advertise that sound-absorbing panels can be used for sound insulation, which will mislead consumers, so when we buy sound-absorbing panels, we must realize that it does not have a direct sound insulation effect.
