Do acoustic panels insulate against sound?

Many people ask this question—the answer is both yes and no.

The primary function of acoustic panels is to absorb sound, not block it. This means they reduce echoes, reverberation, and noise reflections within the room, making it clearer, quieter, and more comfortable.

However, if high-density materials are used, acoustic panels can also help reduce noise levels both inside and outside the room—especially when combined with appropriate soundproofing measures.

Guangdong Liyin Acoustics is dedicated to designing acoustic solutions that combine performance and aesthetics. Our wood slat wall panels, PET acoustic panels, and high-density MDF cores offer superior sound absorption, helping to control noise in any interior space.
