Porous open cell acoustic foam panels are highly effective noise absorbers and work across a broad range of medium to high frequencies. The exact absorption profile of porous open cell acoustic foam treatment will be determined by a number of factors including the following: the acoustic foams Cell size, Torosity, Porosity, Material thickness, Material hardness and Material density always look to see if the foam you are buying holds a certificate showing the foams NRC values Other methods of sound control also use acoustic diffusion in addition to acoustic absorption. You may also see acoustic foam sold as soundproof foam which is a misleading term as acoustic foam will do little to help with soundproofing a room.

Acoustic Test Data Explained and how acoustic foam works

NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) this is the data showing the sound absorption a material againat specific frequencies. To control the acoustics within a room it is important to have this data on materials you intend to use to control the sound within a room.Materials have different sound absorption properties and react to differing frequencies. by looking at the NRC data you can see how a specific product dampens high mid and low frequencies and from this the NRC value is determined across the full frequency range. acoustic foam works by absorbing sound waves and turning their energy into a tiny ammount of heat.

By using acoustic foam panels you can vastly enhance your home's acoustic environment thus enabling you to fully appreciate your music and other audio media hearing it in the way it was meant to be heard. Just by adding acoustic treatment in your room or home cinema, you can enhance your audio and audio visual experiences. This is done by sound absorption. Sound waves bouncong and rebounding off any flat surfaces and also from the corners of a room cause interference and so deteriorate and distort the quality of sound that you hear. This problem is often much worse in todays modern, minimalistic room interiors, by their nature further accentuate the reflections of the sounds this is explained in the paragraph below.

Traditional homes are often furnished with materials that natrually are both sound diffusing and absorbing, picture frames book shelves, curtains, orniments, carpeted floors and cloth covered chairs and sofas, compare these materials with a modern minamilistic where these features arel replaced by more modern interior surfaces such as plain concrete or plaster walls, laminate or wood floors, blinds, glass furniture and leather sofas, creating the perfect environment for sound interference, causing such acoustic problems such as reflection, echoes and reverberation.

An easy solution to this problem by using Acoustic Panels these will greatly improve acoustics in a room which suffers from the above problems. enjoy the music the way in which the artists intended to be heard. DIY Acoustic Panels can easily be made by having acoustic foam tiles placed in a wooden frame and then covering the frame with a thin acoustically transparent material such as a brushed nylon or you could use any thin woven fabric that can enable good air flow to the foam underneath. These panels when placed on the walls and or cielings will allow you to greatly improve your listening experience, and in the case of home cinemas allowing you to achieve that big screen experience.
