Technical Data
Technical Data for Acoustic Foams & Soundproof Panels
NRC Data Table
Check a foam's NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) to judge its sound absorption. It's an average of absorption in the most important frequency range.
ASTM C423 tests 125Hz-4000Hz, but NRC calculations use 250Hz-2000Hz to minimize errors. (NRC scale: 0-1)
Our foam is tested at the oldest, most reliable independent acoustical lab for accurate absorption data.
250Hz | 500Hz | 1KHz | 2KHz | 4KHz | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
0.8" Wedge Tiles | 0.1 | 0.13 | 0.3 | 0.68 | 0.94 |
1.9" Pyramid Tiles | 0.13 | 0.27 | 0.62 | 0.92 | 1 |
1.9" Metro Striped Tiles | 0.13 | 0.23 | 0.68 | 0.93 | 0.91 |
1.1" Egg Crate Tiles | 0.13 | 0.27 | 0.62 | 0.92 | 1 |
Wall Panels | 0.81 | 0.86 | 0.92 | 0.95 | 0.98 |
1.9" Bevel Grid Tile | 0.27 | 0.57 | 0.67 | 0.86 | 0.98 |
Bass Traps | 0.38 | 0.51 | 0.63 | 0.82 | 0.99 |
STC Data Table
STC (Sound Transmission Class) rates a material's ability to block sound. Dense materials like rubber or concrete are more effective than spongy materials.

What's the difference between impact and airborne noise? 🔊
What's the difference between impact and airborne noise? 🔊
1. Airborne Noise
- This travels through the air, like conversations, TV sounds, or barking dogs. When sound waves hit a building, they cause it to vibrate, transmitting through the structure.
2. Impact Noise
- This results from physical impacts on buildings, such as footsteps, slamming doors, or moving furniture. Impact noise can be harder to isolate, as these vibrations are stronger and travel further through dense materials.
What are decibels? 📏
What are decibels? 📏
Decibels are measured logarithmically (not as a percentage) . This means that every increase of 10dB on the scale is a tenfold increase in sound pressure level (SPL) . Near silence is 0dB 🤫, while a sound at 10dB is ten times louder!
- 30-40 dB = Soft music, whisper 🎶
- 60-80 dB = Office noise, traffic 🚗
- 85-100 dB (HARMFUL) = Subway, shouted convo, chainsaw ⚠️
- 100-140 dB (DANGEROUS) = Chainsaw, loud concert, racing, shooting range 🚨
