What’s the difference between sound insulation and sound absorbing products?
Sound insulation and soundproofing products are designed to work as an acoustic barrier to reduce sound leaving or entering a room or workspace. Sound absorbers are designed to absorb the sound within a room and help reduce room echo etc. Sound absorbers do not stop the sound leaving the space but will reduce the amount of noise by reducing the reverberation (echo) within the enclosure. If you wish to soundproof a room you would normally need to purchase both types of sound insulating materials.
