Unlike sound diffusion, sound absorption is the process of removing sound energy from an environment, while diffusers reflect sound waves in different directions. Depending on the class of absorption, a highly absorbent material will only reflect a small proportion of the sound energy.

Whilst absorbing the majority by turning the sound energy into heat energy when the waves hit the absorbent material. (To achieve a Class A sound absorption, the product is required to absorb over 90% of the energy) sound diffusion and sound absorption products can be used together, to achieve optimal acoustic values, as they do allow to enhance the effectiveness of the systems combined.

With Soundis, Vibration is Under Control! Sound is a type of energy made by vibrations. When an object vibrates, it causes movement in surrounding air molecules. These molecules bump into the molecules close to them, causing them to vibrate as well. In modern buildings, needs are provided for by many different mechanical and electrical equipment. The rotating parts and motors of mechanical and electrical equipment generate vibrations at different rates at different operating speeds. These vibrations and the noise emitted throughout buildings cause loss of comfort and adversely affect the lifetime of the devices.

Soundis are partners with NBS, which means you can find our products on NBS Source.
