Noise Reduction Ceiling Tiles

The highest quality tiles offer a cac rating in the 40 to 44 range.

Noise reduction ceiling tiles.

Cac rates a ceiling s efficiency to block sound to adjacent rooms. Higher performing drop ceilings can reduce noise by 55 while exceptional performers can reduce noise by as much as 70. Sound absorbing acoustic ceiling tiles are the most common. When evaluating acoustical ceiling tiles or panels you ll want to look at two general ratings.

Noise reduction coefficient nrc and ceiling attenuation class cac. Sound transmission class is a rating given to different materials that measures. The procedure is to install a new joist between each pair of existing ceiling joist. Ceiling tiles with a high nrc and cac mean that the movie playing in the basement will sound crisp and clear but won t reach light sleepers on the floor above.

While knowing the nrc number helps define the acoustical properties of a given ceiling tile. Absorptive ceiling tiles help to reduce the reverberation reflecting around a space. The cac measures how well the acoustical tile blocks the transmission of sound through the tile.
