ACOUSTICS
The study of all mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids, including vibration,
sound, ultrasound, and infrasound, is the focus of the multidisciplinary field of
acoustics. An acoustician is a scientist who works in the science of acoustics, whereas
an acoustical engineer is a person who works in the field of acoustics technology.
Acoustics is used in practically every facet of contemporary life, the audio and noise
reduction sectors being the most evident.
• SOUND ABSORBERS
These sound absorbing acoustical panels and sound proofing materials are
used to eliminate sound reflections to improve speech intelligibility, reduce
standing waves and prevent comb filtering. These materials vary in thickness
and in shape to achieve different absorption ratings depending on the
specific sound requirements.
Types:
Availability: Ceiling tiles are easily accessible from a number of providers and
manufacturers that focus on interior finishes and building materials. Both
physical and brick-and-mortar retailers that sell building and interior design
supplies carry them, as does the website of Armstrong Ceiling Solutions, USG,
and CertainTeed.
Properties: Ceiling tiles come in a variety of surface textures and patterns to
complement or improve a room's interior design.
Application: Ceiling tiles are frequently utilized to improve acoustics, create
a nice atmosphere, and improve the general customer or employee
experience in offices, retail establishments, restaurants, and healthcare
facilities.
➢ BAFFLES AND BANNERS FOR CEILING - Baffles and Banners are designed
to solve acoustical problems economically in any large cubic volume space
such as arenas, gymnasiums, theaters, restaurants, and auditoriums.
Reverberation times that range from 4-9 seconds can be reduced to ½ to
2 seconds. Baffles are an economical way to reduce sounds pressure levels
and lower reverberation times in large spaces such as gymnasium,
theaters, restaurants, health and fitness clubs, etc.
• SOUND DIFFUSERS
These device reduce the intensity of sound by scattering it over an expanded
area, rather than eliminating the sound reflections as an absorber would.
Traditional spatial diffusers, such as polyclinical (barrel) shapes also double as
low frequency traps. Temporal diffusers such as binary arrays and quadratics,
scatter sound in a manner similar to diffraction of light, where the timing of
reflection from an uneven surface of varying depths causes interference which
spreads sound.
➢ QUADTRATIC PYRAMID DIFFUSER - Sound over a wide range of
frequencies can be diffused with quadratic diffusers. Several vertical slats
with diffusers adjusted for particular wavelength bands are frequently used
by them.
➢ PYRAMIDAL DIFFUSER - Sound diffusers with pyramid shapes for walls and
ceilings are a useful tool for evenly distributing sound throughout a
listening space, eliminating "dead spots," and dispersing and redirecting
sound. Rigid, molded E-glass is used to create a sturdy, lightweight, and
long-lasting surface for these diffusers.
