For ceiling tiles, how is Sound Absorption used?
When applied to room surfaces or objects, sound absorptive materials reduce the reflection of sound that strikes them which helps to make a space seem less “echoey” or “lively” or, more technically, less reverberant. The ceiling plane is often the only one of substantial size, and relatively unobstructed, where sound absorption can be introduced. However sound absorptive materials are most effective at controlling reverberant sound when distributed between several room surfaces or objects rather than just being applied to one.
