[1] The bumpy surface is created by tiny particles of vermiculite or polystyrene, which gives the ceiling sound-deadening properties. Mixtures are available in fine, medium, and ...
An acoustic board is a board made from sound absorbing materials, designed to provide sound insulation. [3] [4] Between two outer walls sound absorbing material is inserted and the wall is porous. Thus, when sound passes through an acoustic board, the intensity of sound is decreased. The loss of sound energy is balanced by producing heat energy.
Some acoustic plasters contain aggregate, but better systems incorporate fiber. [2] Acoustic plasters are generally applied at a thickness between 1/16” and 1.5”. [3] Acoustic plasters consist of a base layer of absorptive substrate panels, which are typically mineral wool, or a non-combustible inorganic blow-glass granulate. [2]
A close-up image of acoustic foam. Acoustic foam is an open celled foam used for acoustic treatment. It attenuates airborne sound waves, reducing their amplitude, for the purposes of noise reduction or noise control. [1] The energy is dissipated as heat. [2] Acoustic foam can be made in several different colors, sizes and thickness. [3]

The NRC is highly dependent on the type of mounting, [6] which, if not specified, is usually a Type A mounting (ABPMA mounting #4) where the material is placed directly on the floor, wall, or ceiling. Acoustical ceiling tiles are often tested in Type E400 mounting, which simulates a 16-inch-deep (410 mm) plenum.
