Why Offices Need Acoustic Treatment
The shift to open floor plans created a noise epidemic. According to a study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, office noise is the #1 complaint among workers in open-plan offices. Here's what acoustic panels solve:
- Speech privacy: Reduce intelligible speech between workstations by 60-80%
- Echo reduction: Eliminate the "gymnasium effect" in large open spaces
- Focus improvement: Workers report 48% better concentration after acoustic treatment
- Meeting clarity: Conference rooms with panels have 40% better speech intelligibility on video calls
- HIPAA compliance: Medical and legal offices need speech privacy — panels help meet requirements
Office Acoustic Panel Placement Guide
For the best results in a typical office:
- Conference rooms: Cover 40-60% of wall surface area with 2" panels
- Open offices: Install panels on every wall at seated ear height (3-5 feet), plus ceiling tiles
- Reception areas: Use acoustic art panels on the wall behind the desk + opposite wall
- Private offices: 4-6 panels (2'x4') on parallel walls eliminates echo for video calls

Frequently Asked Questions
How many acoustic panels do I need for my office?
For open offices, plan to cover 30-50% of the total wall area plus ceiling treatment. A 1,000 sq ft open office typically needs 20-30 panels (2'x4' each) on walls plus acoustic ceiling tiles. For a private office or conference room, 6-12 panels usually provides excellent results. See our detailed calculator →
What's the difference between acoustic panels and soundproofing?
Acoustic panels absorb sound within a room — reducing echo, reverberation, and noise levels inside the space. Soundproofing blocks sound from passing between rooms and requires construction (mass-loaded vinyl, double drywall, etc.). Most offices need acoustic treatment, not soundproofing. Read the full comparison →
Are your panels fire rated for commercial buildings?
Yes. All our panels use Guilford of Maine FR701 fabric (Class A fire rated) and Roxul mineral wool core (non-combustible). They meet ASTM E84 Class A / Class 1 requirements for commercial installations including offices, schools, hospitals, and government buildings.
Can acoustic panels help with video call echo?
Absolutely. Echo and reverberation are the #1 cause of poor audio quality on Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet calls. Even 4-6 panels in a private office dramatically improve call quality. Conference rooms should have 40-60% wall coverage for professional-grade audio.
Do you offer bulk/corporate pricing?
Yes. Orders of 20+ panels qualify for volume pricing. Contact us at customerservice@acousticsoundpanels.com or call for a custom quote. We also handle large commercial installations with project management support.
How long does shipping take?
All panels are custom-built to order and ship within 5-7 business days. Shipping is free on most orders. Rush production is available for time-sensitive office buildouts — contact us for expedited options.
