Echoes and Its Control

Echoes are caused by sound reflecting off hard surfaces with a delay of at least 50ms after the direct sound. There are several acoustic treatments to control echoes, including acoustic rafts that hang from ceilings, baffles that hang vertically, and wall panels made of sound absorbing materials. These treatments help reduce reverberation in enclosed spaces.

CONTROL

ECHOES - An echo is an auditory effect associated with hearing a


repetition of a previous sound, having delay and level proper to be detected as
a separate sound event. Echoes are commonly caused by sound reflected
from hard, plane surfaces that form sound paths that makes the sound arrive
at the receiver at least 50ms after the arrival of direct sound. This delay
corresponds to a reflection path that is 17m longer than the direct sound path.
ECHO CONTROL ACOUSTIC RAFT
• ACOUSTIC RAFTS – Acoustic Rafts hang horizontally from the ceiling to
interrupt and absorb sound energy. These are easier to specify because it
is hard to find a space that is NOT a good application. Acoustic ceiling rafts
are suspended horizontally, come in a variety of styles, sizes, and shapes,
can boost ceiling design capabilities, and hide distracting ceiling fixtures.
• ACOUSTIC BAFFLES - Acoustic Baffles are similar to rafts but hang
vertically from the ceiling. Baffles effectively absorb sound, and most ACOUSTIC BAFFLES
importantly, offer better style than a suspended ceiling and can be used to
work in a wide range of spaces.
• ACOUSTIC WALL PANELS – are generally made up of Acoustic foam,
Rockwool or Glasswool, helping in absorbing noise and reducing
reverberation in closed rooms. This brings higher clarity to the speech
inside the room and ensures the best listening experience.

• TREATING THE FLOOR – Area rugs or wall-to-wall
carpeting can be a terrific help in treating the floor.
TREATING THE FLOOR
The floor is typically the largest flat surface in the
room, so breaking up that hard expanse with softer
materials can do a great deal of echo elimination.
• TREATING THE WINDOWS- Acoustical or
soundproof curtains are a great solution. Placing a
sound-absorbing barrier between the windows and
the room prevents the sound waves inside from

the deployment of soft seating across an open plan
environment can help alleviate reverberation and
