How do our acoustic absorbing solutions work?

We develop our acoustic absorbing panels to absorb and reduce all kinds of annoying noises in rooms. This increases the acoustic comfort, also in areas with larger audiences and a lot of background noise. Improved acoustics imply a reduction of sound reflection as well as sound resonance time and level. This improved comfort is achieved by transforming sound into mechanic energy (vibration or heat) in the panel and the underlying wool. Part of the energy of the sound wave which comes into contact with our panel is reflected back into the room. Another part is absorbed by the material and the last part goes through the panel into the underlying insulation layer.

Helmholtz resonance
Today, various absorption methods can be used to reduce the reveberation in an area. Our acoustic absorbing panels use the principle of Helmholtz resonance, ideal for lower and middle frequency sounds, f.i. the human voice. The panels of Woodcoustics consist of an MDF core with top layer in veneer and an acoustic absorbing spun glass fabric on the back or in the middel. The preforation of the panel results in the principle of the Helmholtz resonance, a mass springing system to absorb sound.


The mechanism of absorption at the core of a Woodcoustics panel is called the principle of Helmholtz resonance, named after the German physician Herr Hermann Helmholtz, who discovered this phenomenon in 1863. Small grooves and a large cavity in the material ensure that medium and low frequencies (= human voice) are efficiently absorbed.
