WHAT YOU'RE HEARING

Two different problems, two different solutions. Knowing which one you have is step one.

Echo reduction

Sound bouncing off hard surfaces creates a muddy, lingering echo. Foam panels absorb the reflections so audio dies cleanly — the biggest difference in the studio and home theater tests.

Sound blocking

Noise through walls, doors, or windows needs mass and sealing — not foam alone. Door kits, soundproof curtains, and dense barrier panels handle this. Foam won't block a noisy neighbor.

Voice clarity

Crucial for podcasts, calls, and recordings. Treating early reflections and flutter echo removes the muddiness that makes speech hard to follow, even at low volumes.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Things people ask after watching the demo

It depends on what you're treating. Echo and reverberation can be reduced by 60–80% with proper foam coverage. Blocking noise from outside is a different job — you can expect 10–20 dB reduction with a combination of door sealing, curtains, and wall panels. No single product eliminates all noise.

Acoustic foam absorbs sound reflections inside a room. It does not block sound from coming through walls. For neighbor noise, you need mass — dense wall panels, door kits with a proper seal, and soundproof curtains on windows. Start with wherever the noise enters most.

The studio test focuses on recording clarity — eliminating flutter echo so a microphone picks up clean, dry audio. The meeting room test focuses on speech intelligibility — reducing reverb so voices are clear across a larger, harder space. Different products are used in each.

Use the free Tiles Calculator — enter your room dimensions and it tells you exactly how many panels you need. As a rule of thumb, covering 25–30% of wall surface area handles most echo problems. For complete coverage in recording environments, aim for 40–50%.

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? 📏

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!
