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.

Combine Acoustic Panels with Soundproofing Solutions

If you're trying to reduce noise coming through bedroom walls or shared walls in apartments, combining Liyin's wood slat acoustic panels with soundproofing insulation can offer both functional and visual benefits.

By covering surfaces with stylish and sound-absorbing wood slat panels, you enhance:

 

• Acoustic comfort

• Interior design

• Overall noise management

When designing a space with acoustic panels, one of the most common questions is: What is the best size for an acoustic panel? The answer depends on several factors, including the size of the room, the purpose of the space, and the level of sound control needed. In this blog, we'll explore the considerations for choosing the right size for your acoustic panels and how Guangdong Liyin Acoustics Technology Co. Ltd., as a leading manufacturer of wood slat acoustic panels, can help you optimize your acoustics while enhancing your room’s aesthetics.

 

Factors to Consider When Choosing the Right Size for Acoustic Panels

 

1. Room Size and Shape
   The dimensions of the room play a crucial role in determining the size of the acoustic panels you need. In larger rooms, bigger panels will be more effective in absorbing sound and reducing noise reverberation. Conversely, in smaller rooms, using too many large panels can overwhelm the space and negatively impact the aesthetic appeal.
   Key Tip: Measure the size of your walls and consider the room’s overall acoustics when determining panel sizes.

2. Purpose of the Space
   The function of the room also influences the ideal size of acoustic panels. For example, in a home theater or studio, where high-quality sound control is essential, larger panels or multiple panels may be required. In contrast, in office spaces or conference rooms, smaller acoustic panels may suffice, focusing on controlling high-frequency noise like voices.

3. Desired Acoustic Effectiveness
   Larger panels generally provide greater sound absorption, especially for low frequencies. If you’re trying to control noise from speakers, machinery, or a high-noise environment, larger panels or a higher quantity of panels may be necessary. Smaller panels are excellent for tackling mid to high frequencies, such as voice clarity in an office or meeting room.
   Tip: For low-frequency absorption, consider a larger panel or bass traps. For high-frequency noise control, smaller panels are typically sufficient.

4. Aesthetic Considerations
   Acoustic panels also serve as an aesthetic element in a space. Larger panels can cover more surface area, making them ideal for larger spaces or open-plan areas. However, if you're looking for a more minimalist or less intrusive design, smaller panels or wood slat acoustic panels in specific configurations can add both functionality and visual appeal.

5. Cost and Budget
   Larger panels often come at a higher cost. For those on a budget, combining multiple smaller panels to cover a larger area may be an effective solution without compromising on acoustic performance. Keep in mind that larger panels tend to have better sound absorption properties, but the most cost-effective approach may involve selecting panels with the best performance-to-cost ratio.

 

Common Sizes for Acoustic Panels

 

1. Standard Panel Sizes

   • 24” x 48” (60 x 120 cm): This is a typical size for wall-mounted acoustic panels and is commonly used in commercial and residential spaces. These panels are versatile and can be installed in various configurations to cover a significant portion of the wall.
   • 24” x 24” (60 x 60 cm): These smaller panels are ideal for spaces requiring a more minimalist approach or areas where wall space is limited. They are also effective when used in combination with other panels to provide targeted sound control.

2. Custom Sizes
   At Guangdong Liyin Acoustics Technology Co. Ltd., we offer customized wood slat acoustic panels tailored to your exact specifications. Our Natural Oak Acoustic Slat Panels come in various sizes, shapes, and finishes, allowing us to create the perfect acoustic solution for your space. Custom sizing ensures that the panels fit seamlessly into your design vision while optimizing acoustics.
