| Product Description | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Acoustic Barrier / Panel | Acoustic barriers or panels are rectangular, rigid or semi-rigid sound-absorbing devices. They are often lined up or stacked to provide an acoustic shield. | ||
| Acoustic Curtain | Acoustic curtains hang from a ceiling or wall to absorb and deaden noise. | ||
| Ceiling Panel / Tile | Acoustic ceiling tiles have material properties (and sometimes geometry) designed to absorb noise and reflect sound waves downward. They are typically standard-size tiles. | ||
| Floor Matting | Floor matting can be used to absorb sound. It often resembles standard matting and is used on hard, noise-reflective, floor surfaces. | ||
| Soundproof Window | Soundproof windows have noise attenuation properties. | ||
| Soundproof Door | Soundproof doors have noise attenuation properties. | ||
| Acoustic Fence | Fences with sound-absorbing properties can be used to absorb sound leaving an area (e.g., outside a factory) or coming into an area from external sources (e.g., along the perimeter of a residential area adjoining a highway). | ||
| Acoustic Room | Acoustic enclosures are set up and permanently situated as a room. Acoustic rooms are used with loud machinery, high-noise testing operations, and operations where outside noise must be kept to a minimum. | ||
| Pipe / Duct Lagging | Products are wrapped around a pipe or air duct to attenuate noise propagating to the ambient space. | ||
| Composite Barrier | Composite barriers are made of different materials to maximize sound absorption. They may include different materials through the thickness of the barrier and/or different materials at different spots in the barrier. | ||
| Foam Sheet / Roll | Acoustical foam is often supplied in sheets or rolls for installation along walls, panels, machine enclosures, etc. These products are designed to conform to the irregular shapes of the surface to be soundproofed. | ||
| Baffle | Baffles are panels or sections that are designed to be used in a staggered array to attenuate noise propagation. | ||
| Compound (Trowel) | Acoustic compounds are supplied in a form resembling a grout, tar or putty that can be applied with a trowel. | ||
| Compound (Spray) | Specialized acoustic compounds are applied by spraying them onto a surface. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted or specialized sound proofing products. | ||

Performance and Size

|
| ||
| Noise Attenuation | Noise attenuation is the reduction in sound pressure level (SPL) that an acoustic product provides. It is measured in decibels (dB). | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Noise Reduction Coefficient (if applicable) | Noise reduction coefficient (NRC) is an average of a material’s absorption coefficients at a specified set of frequencies, typically 256 Hz, 512Hz, 1024 Hz and 2048 Hz. Absorption coefficients range between 0 and 1 (1 is total sound elimination), and are often evaluated at many frequencies in the audible range in order to create a performance curve for the material throughout the audio spectrum. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Thickness | The thickness, if applicable, of the sheet, foam, barrier, etc. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Width | The width (if standard) of the door, panel, enclosure, etc. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Height | The height (if standard) of the door, panel, enclosure, etc. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Weight | The full weight of acoustic product. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||

| Features | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Architectural | Products are designed with stylistic or architectural details to conform to the appearance of the facility. | ||
| Flameproof | Products are rated to resist or stop the propagation of flame. Typically, flameproof products carry a safety rating which indicates the test standard. | ||
| Static Dissipative | Static dissipative products are conductive in order to prevent the build-up of static electricity. They prevent unwanted high-voltage sparks or electrical discharge. | ||
| Surface Convolutions | The surface of the material or product has convolutions or similar geometries for redirecting noise and preventing uniform sound reflection. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Mounting | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Adhesive / Tape | Adhesives or tape are used to mount the product to the surface to be treated. | ||
| Spray / Trowel | Products are sprayed on or applied with a trowel. | ||
| Brackets | Products mount with brackets and hardware. | ||
| Free Standing | Panels or barriers are free-standing units. | ||
| Ceiling Attachment | Products attach to the ceiling. | ||
| Pipe / Line Mount | Products mounts directly onto the pipe, hose, pneumatic line, etc. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary mounting style. | ||
