Can be hung perpendicular to or parallel to your ceiling structure.
Can be hung directly or suspended from your ceiling structure.
Where you choose to use them depends on how sound travels through your space. These are most effective when the baffles are mounted close to your noise source(s). Most of our customers have varied needs, but generally you are either dealing with noises coming from multiple noise sources or just from one piece of industrial machinery.
Since the hanging sound absorption baffles can be suspended, it is beneficial to hang them at varying heights. Sound waves change their direction when hitting an object, so baffles at different heights can absorb noise at various levels.
It can also be very useful to create corner sections by hanging one baffle parallel and the other one perpendicular to your structure (see photo below). This will create a base trap for the sound to lose itself in.
The more soft surfaces you have, the more sound you can absorb. Hanging acoustic baffles are filled with sound-absorbing material to interrupt the flow of sound waves and minimize echo.
Exactly how many you need depends on the space and the type of sound.
Low-frequency sounds, often caused by generators and manufacturing equipment, are the most difficult to absorb. You’ll need more baffles to get the job done. Because our hanging baffles come with 4” thick absorption material inside you will get better results. It gives you double the absorption material of the competitor’s product.
If your budget doesn’t allow you to hang baffles from every beam, start with a few and then test the noise levels to measure the effect. With just two anchor points, free-hanging sound baffles are easy to install wherever you need them.
The objective is to prevent the sound from hitting hard surfaces to give the sound soft materials to absorb into.
