Acoustic Panels To Reduce Noise Within A Room

Acoustic Panels To Reduce Noise Within A Room

Acoustics are the ways a room manages or handles the sound waves. Sound waves travel through the air, reflecting off solid objects such as walls, floors and ceilings. This is also known as reverberation or echo. Acoustic panels are designed to slow down the reverberation time (or echo) of sound to a manageable level, so that you can hear with clarity.

Where to put acoustic panels?

Large rooms with a sound source that you want to hear in perfect tone and clarity, usually require acoustic panels. Some of these rooms include:

Joseph Drago

Joseph Drago, owner of New England Soundproofing and Drago General Contracting, started Equity Design and Build, a high end home build/renovation company in 1991. Joe and his long term partner Carl designed and built custom homes for families all over Massachusetts. In 1997, Joe took charge of his talents and branched away from his partner to focus on high end kitchen, bathroom, and full home renovations. That’s when Drago General Contracting Corp started, a high end, family run, custom contracting company. “Whatever the client wants, we will deliver!” said Joseph when asked what he provided to the customer. “There is no project too big or too small for us; we love seeing the client satisfied, so that is why I will never say, ‘no, it cannot be done’. Everything is possible and Drago GC brings that attitude to every job!” In 2011, after 5+ years of installing and selling soundproofing products under Drago General Contract, Joseph branched off of Drago General Contract and opened New England Soundproofing, a Massachusetts full-service soundproofing company that provides a turnkey solution. Joe saw that more and more clients were asking for soundproofing solutions for their homes and condos, and there was no soundproofing store in Massachusetts. With the help of his two sons, the family expanded their contracting skills to offer consultations on how to fix sound issues, installation of soundproofing materials, as well as supply soundproofing materials right here in Massachusetts.
