Acoustic Baffles – Effective Solution for Noise Control and Echo Reduction
Acoustic hanging baffles are one of the most effective ways to reduce unwanted noise and control echo in large open spaces. Suspended vertically from the ceiling, these sound-absorbing panels capture reflections from multiple directions, creating a quieter and more comfortable environment. Whether it’s an office, laboratory, healthcare center, auditorium or industrial facility, acoustic baffles help improve speech clarity, enhance productivity, and maintain a clean, modern aesthetic without occupying valuable floor space.
Project Overview
A premier healthcare facility in Gurugram hired SomNandi Industries to deploy a high-performance acoustic hanging baffles system. The intent was to provide a quieter and more relaxing space that would produce improved speech intelligibility and minimize echo without sacrificing the refined, clean lines of contemporary design.
What Are Acoustic Hanging Baffles?
Acoustic hanging baffles are sound-absorbing panels that are vertically installed to hang from a ceiling. They are typically made from high-density acoustic materials and are commonly wrapped in fabric or finished in wood. Acoustic hanging baffles use precisely coordinated suspension systems to absorb sound reflections from many directions. Because they are often used to fix excessively echoey rooms, they are an effective treatment for large open areas such as offices, laboratories, healthcare facilities, and industries that defeat sound absorbing wall treatments.
Benefits of Acoustic Hanging Baffles
- Noise Reduction & Clearer Speech: Reduced reverberation times improve speech intelligibility.
- Integrate with Architecture: Available in many shapes, finishes, and colors to match any interiors.
- Utilize & Function: Maintain usage in the ceiling without blocking HVAC systems or lighting fixtures.
- Durable & Safe: Fire ratings with long-term durability.
