A drop ceiling with tiles that absorb sound to keep rooms quieter.
An acoustical ceiling is a suspended ceiling system designed to absorb sound and reduce noise transmission between spaces. It typically uses mineral fiber or fiberglass tiles installed in a metal grid framework. Acoustical ceilings are specified by their Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) and Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC) ratings. They are common in offices, schools, and healthcare facilities where sound control is critical.
The open-plan office called for 2×4 acoustical ceiling tiles with an NRC of 0.70 to reduce ambient noise between workstations.
