If you're looking to reduce noise in your space, whether for a home office, recording studio, or commercial setting, acoustic panels are an excellent solution. But one of the most common questions we hear is:
“How many acoustic panels do I need to soundproof a room?”

At Guangdong Liyin Acoustics Technology Co., Ltd.( Leeyin ) , we specialize in high-performance wooden slat acoustic panels, and we’re here to help you make the right decision for your acoustic project.

🎯 Understanding the Purpose of Acoustic Panels

Before calculating quantity, it's essential to understand that acoustic panels absorb sound—they don’t completely block it like traditional soundproofing materials. They’re primarily used to:

  • Minimize echo and reverberation

  • Improve sound clarity

  • Reduce noise levels within a room

For full soundproofing, a combination of materials (mass-loaded barriers, insulation, and sealing gaps) may be required. However, strategically placing acoustic panels significantly improves perceived sound quality and reduces noise transmission.

📏 How to Calculate the Right Number of Acoustic Panels

Here’s a basic step-by-step guide:

1. Measure the Room Size

Determine the length × width × height of your room to get the total cubic space.

2. Calculate Wall Surface Area

Focus on the four walls (and ceiling if needed). Remove doors/windows from your calculation.

3. Determine Coverage Percentage

Depending on the purpose, typical coverage recommendations are:

Application Coverage Area Needed
Basic Echo Control 10–20%
Home Office or Meeting Room 20–30%
Recording Studio or Podcast 30–50%
Professional Soundproofing 50–70% or more

4. Standard Panel Size Reference

At Liyin Acoustics, our standard wood slat acoustic panel is typically:

  • Width: 600 mm (23.6")

  • Height: 2400 mm (94.5")

  • Coverage Area per Panel: ~1.44 m²

For example:
If you want to cover 12 m² of wall space, you would need approximately 8–9 panels.

🧠 Expert Tip: Placement Is Just as Important

Rather than covering 100% of the walls, strategic placement helps maximize performance:

  • First reflection points (side walls)

  • Back wall and front wall (behind speakers or workspace)

  • Ceiling if echo is still present
