Do Acoustic Art Panels Work?
- Acoustic art panels take the edge off of echoing and reverberation in any indoor space. These sound absorbing art panels feature the same glass mineral wool as many of our other acoustic panels. As a result, art acoustic panels are highly absorbent. We assess our art acoustic panels to assign a noise reduction coefficient (NRC) rating describing how much sound they reduce. The NRC rating equals the decibels the panel absorbs divided by the decibels reflected back into the room. A 1-inch art acoustic panel holds a .80 NRC rating, meaning it absorbs 80% of the sound energy it encounters. Our 2-inch panels earn a 1.00 NRC rating, eliminating reflections.

How Do You Soundproof a Room With Art?
- Get aesthetics and acoustics with the right soundproofing products. There are a couple of ways to soundproof a room with art. One way is to cover soundproofing materials with artwork. Another is to choose acoustic materials that serve as works of art themselves. Mass loaded vinyl (MLV) can install over an existing wall to increase its density and prevent noise transfer. Rather than leaving the MLV exposed, cover it with a painting or other artwork. The art will not interfere with the soundproofing performance achieved by increasing the wall’s mass. However, the painting will still reflect noise, resulting in echoes and reverberations inside the room. Using artistic acoustic materials allows you to control reflections while customizing your space’s decor. Our decorative acoustic panels absorb noise at an NRC rating ranging from .65-1.00. You can customize these panels by uploading a design of your choice.

Does Wall Art Reduce Noise?
- Normal wall art does not reduce noise to any notable degree. Noise reduction inside a room requires carefully placed absorbent materials that will soak up sound before it can reflect. Paintings and glass frames are ineffective at best and extra reflective at worst. If you want to reduce noise while filling your space with art, try Art Acoustic Panels instead. We make these decorative sound panels with absorbent materials like cotton, glass mineral wool or acoustic foam, then cover them with fabric featuring a design of your choice.
