Sound waves will do one of two things when they encounter an object – they can be absorbed, or they can be reflected. The higher the NRC, the more sound a product absorbs. You can check out and compare the noise reduction coefficient (NRC) for each of our products to get an idea of how well each material absorbs sound. This is why sound-absorbing materials can come in handy. Noise is unwanted sound and happens when sound is not absorbed by anything and reflects off of walls or other materials. In general, sound loses energy as it passes through walls. Lower sound waves pass through thinner materials. Higher frequency sounds don’t bend as much around barriers and are reflected by thin materials. Higher frequency sounds consist of short sound waves, whereas lower frequency sounds contain long waves. For example, when someone sings, their vocal cords vibrate and send waves through the air to the listener. Before we get started, it helps to understand how sound and sound absorption works.
