Acoustical materials
used in Band and Choir rooms are products that affect sound
or noise quality and intensity. Acoustical materials fall
into 3 main categories; Sound Blockers, Sound Absorbers, diffusers/reflectors.

Sound Blockers are products with
some mass that stop sound/vibration transfer from one
area to another. These acoustical Sound Barrier/Blockers
carry an STC number that helps in determining what the
expected decibel reduction should be from one area to
another when using that product.
Diffusion in band choir areas help achieve a smooth sound
in the room by scattering the sound waves. Reflectors
help deflect sound to eliminate dead spots.
Sound absorption in Band and Choir rooms is very important.
These soft, porous products tend to absorb reverberation
off hard surfaces thus increasing music/voice intelligibility
and quality. These products have an NRC number that helps
in determining how much sound absorption you will achieve
with a certain product.
