Improve reverberation at home

How does reverberation occur in a home?

Reverberation is caused by hard surfaces such as walls, ceilings, glass, and floors that reflect sound. The fewer soft materials there are, the stronger the reverberation.

How can you improve the acoustics in your home without renovating?

By adding sound-absorbing materials, such as acoustic solutions made of PET felt. These absorb sound directly on the wall or ceiling, without any demolition work or costly renovations.

Do acoustic panels really help reduce echo in the home?

Yes. Acoustic panels reduce reflections and shorten reverberation time, making a room sound quieter and more pleasant.

Where should you place acoustic panels to reduce echo?

On large, bare walls or the ceiling. This is most effective when placed opposite noise sources (TV, living area, dining table).

How many panels do you need to audibly improve the reverberation?

Often, covering just 20–30% of the surface area is enough to make a noticeable difference in acoustics.
