🎧 What Do Acoustic Panels Do?

Acoustic panels absorb sound waves to reduce noise, echo, and reverberation. They are ideal for:

  • Home theaters

  • Offices

  • Studios

  • Conference rooms

  • Bedrooms

Panels like our E0 MDF + PET felt wooden slat acoustic panels are designed to combine visual appeal with powerful acoustic performance.


🤔 Is There Such a Thing as “Too Much”?

Yes. Too many acoustic panels can lead to an unnatural, overly “dead” room where sound becomes flat and lifeless. This is especially true in:

  • Studios where natural reverberation is needed

  • Living spaces where sound dynamics should feel natural

  • Rooms with limited volume, where too much absorption can dull conversation and music


⚖️ Striking the Right Balance

When planning an acoustic treatment, consider these principles:

1. Coverage Ratio

A general recommendation is to cover 15–30% of the room’s surface area with acoustic panels. This can vary depending on the use case (e.g., recording studio vs. living room).

2. Panel Placement

More important than quantity is placement. Focus on:

  • First reflection points

  • Rear walls

  • Ceiling above listening areas

  • Corners for bass traps

Liyin’s PET-backed acoustic panels offer flexibility in installation—glue, screw, or mounting systems—so you can place them exactly where needed.

3. Room Purpose

Ask yourself: Are you aiming to reduce echo or completely deaden the space? The goal should dictate how many panels you actually need.

Do Acoustic Panels Reduce Noise Through Walls?

In an increasingly noisy world, sound control is more important than ever—especially in homes, offices, studios, and hotels. A common question we hear is: "Do acoustic panels reduce noise through walls?" The short answer is: acoustic panels help reduce certain types of noise, but they are not a complete soundproofing solution.

In this article, we’ll explain how acoustic panels work, what types of noise they are best suited for, and how Guangdong Liyin Acoustics Technology Co., Ltd. (Leeyin offers high-performance wood slat acoustic panels that combine function and modern style.

How Do Acoustic Panels Work?

Acoustic panels are designed to absorb sound waves, especially mid to high-frequency sounds like echoes, speech, and reverberations within a room. They reduce unwanted reflections and improve the clarity of sound—but they are primarily effective for sound absorption, not complete sound blocking.

When mounted on a wall, acoustic panels:

  • Absorb airborne noise (like voices or TV sounds)

  • Reduce echo and reverb

  • Improve room acoustics for listening, recording, or working

However, they don’t stop structure-borne sound (like footsteps or bass vibrations) from traveling through walls entirely.


Do Acoustic Panels Block Noise Through Walls?

To clarify: acoustic panels are not soundproofing materials. While they reduce noise levels within a room, they do not fully block sound from passing through solid walls.

If your goal is to completely isolate a room, additional soundproofing techniques such as:

  • Double drywall with acoustic insulation

  • Decoupling methods

  • Mass-loaded vinyl (MLV)

  • Sealing gaps with acoustic caulk

are needed in combination with acoustic panels.

That said, quality acoustic panels, like the wood slat acoustic panels produced by Guangdong Liyin Acoustics Technology Co., Ltd., help significantly reduce noise reflections that contribute to perceived loudness, which can make a room feel quieter and more peaceful.
