What is an acoustic calculator?

An acoustic calculator is a tool that evaluates the required acoustic treatment (in square feet or square meters) based on:

• Room dimensions (length, width, height)

• Existing materials (floor, walls, ceiling)

• Room usage (office, restaurant, performance hall, etc.)

• Thickness and type of panels selected

It then converts this need into a number of acoustic panels, based on their shape (rectangular, circular, hexagonal, 3D, cube).

Why optimize a room’s acoustics?

• Excessive reverberation (unpleasant echo)

• Poor speech intelligibility (listening fatigue)

• Loss of productivity in open-plan offices

• Degraded customer experience in restaurants or performance venues

On the other hand, well-managed acoustics improve comfort, focus, and user experience.

How does our calculator work?

Our tool is based on standardized formulas that take into account acoustic recommendations for different types of rooms (recommended RT60).

Just follow 4 simple steps:

1. Enter your room’s dimensions.

2. Select the finishing materials for the floor, walls, and ceiling.

3. Define the room’s main use (e.g., office, restaurant, place of worship).

4. Choose the desired acoustic panel thickness.

The calculator automatically generates:

• The required treatment area (Sq.Ft)

• The number of acoustic panels needed based on their size and shape.

Concrete example

• Meeting room measuring 20 × 15 × 10 feet

• Finished with gypsum walls and vinyl flooring

• Use: conference room

• Panel thickness: 2 inches

Result: approximately 150 Sq.Ft of treatment, or for example 19 panels of 23”×23”.
