Premium Conference Room Sound

Clarity of speech is a must in any Conference Room setting.   What threatens the clarity is blurred sound signals caused by unwelcome echoes that bounce around off the perimeter wall, ceiling and floor surfaces in the room. As the echoes carry, the original sound signals become blurred by the background noise, which threatens the communications within the space.   Not good for hosting business meetings, AV presentations, telephone communications, teleconferencing, employee training and customer relations.  

We know how to soundproof a Conference Room, making sure conversations do not disturb surrounding areas by using today’s best fabric acoustic panels.

Related Soundproofing Options for Conference Rooms

If you are interested in using the sound panels to “brand” your Conference Room with corporate logos, product images, graphics and such, consider the upgrade to our PicturePanels.   This is the same panel treatment, same value back, but rather than wrapping the panels in solid color, we will wrap them in graphics and images.  As a result, the sound values in the room will be restored to premium sound quality,  while the visual presentation to space will promote your company brand and look fantastic.    Another popular option for Conference Rooms is to “float” the  Fabric Panels off the ceiling as an Acoustic Ceiling Cloud, leaving your walls as they are.

Soundproofing a Conference Room:  Q&A

How to design a new Conference Room for premium sound quality

Conference rooms need to provide premium acoustics within the room as well as privacy from noise bleeding in or out of the room.   In designing a new Conference Room, care should be given first to how the perimeter wall and ceilings are built.   The goal would be to line the surfaces with the dB-Bloc sound isolation layering system as you construct the room.   This treatment can help deaden up to 90% of the noise bleed and provide the privacy your Conference Room deserves.   And if you can, avoid the shoe-box shape of a standard room, build non-parallel sets of walls, this will help break up standing sound waves inside the room to produce more favorable sound.   As for controlling the ambient echoes within the Conference Room, line the perimeter walls with a set of acoustic Fabric Panels that will serve to absorb and convert the echoes from the space, leaving great clarity to original sound in the room.

How to soundproof an existing Conference Room

By lining perimeter walls with our dB-Bloc layering system, you can block up to 90% of the noise that travels from the Conference Room to adjoining spaces.  This will protect the privacy of communication and will effectively sound proof the conference room. This acoustical treatment can be applied to all existing finished drywall surfaces, including the ceiling, for stronger conference room noise reduction. For a drop grid ceiling tile with open plenum space, rest a set of Ceiling Caps atop the ceiling tiles to place an acoustic lid over the room.

What are the advantages to Conference Room soundproofing

Protecting the privacy of communication within a corporate Conference Room setting will result in a healthier and more productive work environment. It’s important to know how to soundproof a conference room, so you can eliminate echoes within the room, and produce greater sound clarity for teleconference calls and audio/video presentations.

How to produce greater privacy for your Conference Room

Line the perimeter walls of the Conference Room with our dB-Bloc layering system. This will sound insulate your walls, and prevent noise from bleeding into or out of the room for greater privacy. Also, seal any sound leakage by using a heavy, solid door, and a gasket around its perimeter. If you have glass windows or glass walls in the room, they will bleed noise unless you double or triple pane them. Rest the Ceiling Caps atop your existing ceiling tiles to deaden sound bleed through open plenum space.

How teleconference calls are threatened by poor room acoustics

Communication via a teleconference call requires premium sound quality, so everyone in the room can understand what is being presented. If the echoes within the Conference Room setting are not dealt with, the background noise will blur original sound signals and distort the audio, making it more difficult to understand communication. Conference Room soundproofing will protect the room against the background noise, and deliver premium sound values.

How to block noise bleed through a Conference Room wall

Common wall soundproofing will protect the noise that’s bleeding in and out of your Conference Room. This produces greater privacy for conversation within the room and greater protection against outside noise interference. The key to combating sound bleed is to line the perimeter walls with a combination of “density” and “disconnection,” as outlined in the Soundproofing Walls section of this website. The layering treatment includes anchoring our dB-Bloc sound barrier membrane to your wall surface, then adding a channel system over the dB-Bloc, and then new drywall to the face of the channel system. This layering sequence can trigger up to a 90% collapse in sound bleed, and deliver luxury grade STC ratings of 55 or greater.

How to block noise bleed through a Conference Room ceiling

If your Conference Room ceiling is finished drywall, apply the same layering sequence previously mentioned on soundproofing a common wall. If your ceiling is a drop grid ceiling tile system, then the soundproofing treatment will act as a dense membrane that goes over your existing ceiling tiles and places an acoustic “lid” over the top of your room. This lid is delivered in the form of a composite sound barrier product called a Ceiling Cap. You can simply rest this atop your ceiling tiles to help deaden sound from bleeding through your drop grid ceiling tile system. Note that without adding this density to your ceiling tile configuration, noise will bleed through your plenum space and spill through to any adjoining office space.

How many sound panels does a Conference Room need?

If your goal with Conference Room soundproofing is to improve the sound values inside the space, the key to your acoustical treatment lies in mounting a set of sound panels on your wall or ceiling, so that you can effectively capture and convert the echoes out of the room. By reducing the level of echo, you increase original sound clarity, and improve the communication taking place inside the conference room. Fabric Panels are decorative acoustic sound panels that capture echoes, and provide you with drastic conference room noise reduction. The key mistake that can be made is undertreating the room, so once we know the dimensions of your space, we can calculate your coverage amounts and report it back to you. Call our help desk at 1-800-638-9355, or complete a Room Analysis worksheet to get the specifics on what your space needs. As for the location of your sound panels, it doesn’t matter as long as you spread your conference room soundproofing treatment out as best you can, and mount the right amount of sound panels in your room, wall or ceiling.

What are the benefits to using NetWell’s sound panels in a Conference Room?

By reducing and eliminating the echoes in your Conference Room, you increase the original sound clarity, and produce premium sound quality for business communications. Whether teleconferencing, video conferencing, or presenting to your audience within the space, once the background noise collapses from your acoustical treatment, the remaining tones will be delivered through sharp, clear sound signals for easier communication. Without the soundproofing treatment, your conference room will suffer from extended levels of background noise that will hinder communication, and threaten business productivity.
