Noise Control Solutions for
Healthcare Facilities
Peaceful Environments & Healing Go Hand in Hand
Medical staff can’t afford to make mistakes in unbearably loud conditions, and patients deserve a space to heal and recover Environmental noises beyond hospital walls that invade a space and indoor noises from HVAC systems, equipment, and crowded hallways directly impact a patient’s healing process.
Studies have shown that constant exposure to noise – even at low levels – can cause negative health effects, and the highly reflective medical equipment used in hospital settings only makes reverberation worse.
With distracting noise coming from all angles, research reveals that patients experience slower recovery times, staff productivity decreases, and more medical errors occur, putting lives in jeopardy. Further, medical staff must ensure the highest level of patient privacy to safeguard personal data and avoid HIPAA violations.

Fabric-Wrapped Panels
We provide a wide variety of customizable fabric wall panels that come in different colors and finishes to fit the design of your space.
Diffusers & Reflectors
Many rooms call for sound clarity rather than noise elimination. Our diffusers and reflectors influence how sound is dispersed throughout a space.
Clouds & Baffles
This aesthetic solution to control sound reverberation is a popular choice among designers for its ability to integrate within a space in many creative ways.
Ceiling Tiles
Ceilings and walls give a false sense of privacy. Walls often do not extend the top of a structure, creating an open space above the ceiling tile for sound to invade adjacent rooms. Our ceiling tiles absorb airborne noise and increase your Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC) rating, reducing cross-talk between rooms that could violate HIPAA laws.
Floating Floor Systems
These highly effective products absorb impact noise by decoupling the concrete slabs of a floor to increase Sound Transmission Class (STC) and Impact Insulation Class (IIC) ratings.
Ceiling Isolators
Isolators do exactly what the name suggests – isolate the ceiling structure from the floor above to create air space and absorb noise transmissions.
Wall Clips
Wall clips are low-cost, resilient materials that prevent sound from invading a space through the walls of a room.
