ABOUT ACOUSTIC TREATMENT   Acoustic treatment is the process of controlling sound reflections within a room. Acoustic treatment lessens the effect of undesirable Echo and Noise in order to improve the clarity and quality of the sound. Acoustic treatment can be achieved by using various Acoustic panels (boards), insulation materials and Acoustic Ceiling Tiles. There are mainly three elements that have to be considered while carrying out Acoustic Treatment: Absorption, Diffusion and Reflection.   HOW DOES SOUND WORK   Sound in general, moves as a longitudinal wave – a wave that compresses air and expands gradually as it moves. When sound touches a material, it vibrates the particles within; regardless of the material being Solid, Liquid or gas. Thus, the most efficient process of stopping sound from traveling is to add a Vacuum in its path. As Compression and Vibration are important elements in the working of Sound, a vacuum helps in eliminating these elements. This is the reason why sound cannot be heard in Space – as Space is a vacuum. Whereas, the frequency of a Sound wave is the level of sound that can be heard to a listener. It is divided in to three frequencies – Low, Medium and High. For e.g. Low frequencies consist of sounds like Bass, Thunder or a Man's Deep voice and High frequencies consist of sounds such as Whistle, Squeal or Child's voice.   DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACOUSTIC TREATMENT AND SOUND PROOFING     A common mistake is made while treating a Theater, Home Theater or Recording Studio. Generally, people get confused between Acoustic Treatment and Sound Proofing. Acoustic Treatment is the process of removing any form of Noise (echo) or reverberation present in the room. Acoustic treatment helps in making the sound produced from a speaker more crisp and clear. Acoustic Panels and Insulation materials such as Wood Wool Board, PET Polyester Acoustic Board, Fiber Glass wool Insulation, Mineral Rockwool Insulation and Polyester Wadding (Polywool) are good products for Acoustic Treatment, Whereas, Sound proofing is the process of preventing sound from traveling through walls. With soundproofing, the internal sound is retained inside and the external sound does not enter the room. However, after carrying out Soundproofing, the echo and noise drastically increases within the room and is always recommended to carry out Acoustic Treatment. A combination of Reflective and Absorption material such as Magnesium Oxide Board (MgO Board), Cement Fiber board and Mineral Rockwool Insulation are good products for Sound Proofing.
