Sound absorbing acoustic panels

Acoustic panels help cut down on noise in bedrooms and offices

IKEA acoustic panels are an affordable, flexible solution for reducing all types of indoor and outdoor noise in your home or office. They are especially popular for use in bedroom and office settings, but can be helpful in any room where noise impacts the functionality or your everyday enjoyment of your space.

• In bedrooms, panels are often placed near windows to help absorb all types of outdoor noise, including traffic sounds, lawn mowers, snow blowers, conversations, car doors opening and closing and more.
• In home offices and traditional office settings, sound absorbing panels are often placed throughout the office, including between desks and in meeting spaces.

Sound absorbing panels can also help reduce noise from adjacent rooms or apartments, or in connected homes, like rowhomes, brownstones and condos. Instead of placing them in front of windows to reduce outdoor noise, include them along walls shared with noisy neighbors or family members. This can be especially helpful if the room on the other side of the wall is a space that gets a lot of traffic, or is loud by nature, such as a busy bathroom or laundry room.

Sound absorbing panels make for good study spaces

Acoustic panels can be used to create a dedicated space-within-a-space, giving you the needed quiet focus area for work, school assignments, studying, reading or just thinking. When used as a room divider, sound absorbing panels help provide a clear delineation of spaces while reducing noise on both sides of the panels.
