Create a Professional Acoustic Environment

Whether you spend your days in a commercial office setting or from the comfort of your own home office, acoustics can play a big role in your success and productivity. Poor office acoustics can impact conference calls, distract coworkers, and destroy productivity. If you’re experiencing issues with sound in your office, Audimute is here to help. Ensure your office is a productive one with a variety of environmentally-friendly acoustic treatment options.

Why are acoustics so important in offices?

Offices can be incredibly collaborative settings. With this collaboration, however, comes issues with sound quality and privacy, as well as the possibility of distractions. This is particularly true of large, open offices. Sound absorption will help to control sound throughout your office. Acoustically absorptive materials absorb sound, preventing it from freely bouncing throughout your office. This will help control echo and reverberation, and will limit sound carrying throughout your office. For privacy, sound barriers are a great choice as they help to prevent sound from entering or exiting a room.

Improve sound with sound absorption solutions

Acoustic treatment options for walls are an easy-to-use solution designed to mount to walls. Our Acoustic Panels have NRC ratings ranging up to 0.95, providing excellent sound absorption to any space. With thousands of cover material and size combinations available, there’s an Acoustic Panel to fit every space. With Acoustic Panels, you also have the option of adding an image to your panel, allowing you to personalize your panels to your choosing. If you are seeking a truly custom solution, check out our Custom Acoustic Products.

When treating the walls of an office, it’s generally a good idea to start with roughly 15-20% wall coverage, and work up from here only as needed. To get the most out of your wall treatment, it’s a good idea to place Acoustic Panels near the primary points of reflection in your office. These points tend to vary based on each space, but in offices, it’s a good idea to place them near face level throughout the office to effectively absorb spoken sound.

For large, open spaces without much treatable wall space, acoustic treatement options for ceilings can be a great option to consider. Audimute provides ceiling treatment options to fit any office. When treating a ceiling in an office, acoustic coverage should start around 25-35% of the ceiling. For subtle sound absorption, Acoustic Ceiling Tiles are the perfect option. Available coated to match any Sherwin-Williams paint color, these options can blend into any existing ceiling.

Suspended absorption can also be a great option. Suspended products can be particularly useful in large spaces with high ceilings. Suspended sound absorption tends to perform better than flush-mounted absorption, as both sides of suspended absorption are exposed to sound. Suspended sound absorption products include Acoustic Clouds and Acoustic Baffles. Acoustic Clouds are designed to suspend horizontally, while Acoustic Baffles are designed to suspend vertically from a ceiling.

Soundproof to block sound with sound barrier solutions

Sound barriers are best suited for floors, walls, doors, and windows. They are designed to reduce sound from traveling through weaknesses in a structure. Our Peacemaker® products are perfect for reducing sound transmission through walls, ceilings, and floors. Peacemaker is an environmentally friendly noise control solution made from recycled tire rubber material. It is a durable and renewable “Green” building material containing more than 80% post-consumer recycled material.

Peacemaker Sound Barrier - 3.2mm is an excellent choice for soundproofing. Use between walls, ceilings, and floors to effectively reduce sound transmission and achieve the sound quality you desire. Peacemaker offers excellent sound control. With an STC Rating of 19, using Peacemaker in a structure can improve the STC rating of the structure by 4-5 points.

Peacemaker Soundproofing Underlayment - 6.4mm is specifically designed to significantly reduce vibration and impact noise traveling through a floor. It is less dense than Peacemaker 3.2mm, so it will more effectively absorb vibrations, but will be less effective at blocking sound. Peacemaker 3.2mm is the best choice for blocking airborne noise.

For soundproofing doors and windows, isolé® Sound Barrier Sheets are ideal. The sheets is designed to be a 2-in-1 portable sound solution for soundproofing and sound absorption. Couple isolé over a door with an Acoustic Door Seal Kit
