Acoustic sound baffles suspend vertically in rows and columns spread out across the expanse of your ceiling. These acoustic baffles can help stop echoes, minimize noise pollution, and reduce reverberation.
The typical treatment is to tuck sound baffles inside the cavity spaces between exposed joists in an open deck ceiling. If your ceiling is flat, space the panels evenly between the joists. Set panels side-by-side like dominoes, average 3-4′ off center from one another. If your ceiling is vaulted, with a center peak, then place the sound baffles parallel to the spline of the ceiling. This will maximize their ability to capture and convert the echoes out of the room.
Decorative acoustic sound baffles can absorb up to 80% of the unwanted echoes in your space. However, the key in creating a successful soundproofing treatment is to ensure correct coverage. You will need to order the correct amount of acoustical baffles based on the size, shape and surface textures of your room.
In any case, acoustic sound baffles offer an ideal way to capture and convert the unwelcome echoes in your space to produce the premium sound values you are seeking.
