A wall-mounted acoustic deadening device includes a mounting device including a mounting plate configured to be mounted to a wall and a mounting peg extending from the mounting plate. The mounting peg has a first portion adjacent the mounting plate with a first diameter and a second portion opposite the mounting plate having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter. The device further includes a panel configured to dampen sound, which has a plurality of panel holes extending through a thickness of the panel. A panel hole diameter of one of the plurality of panel holes is less than the first diameter and greater than or equal to the second diameter, and the panel is configured to attach to the mounting device via the mounting peg extending through the one of the plurality of panel holes.

The invention relates to an acoustic panel (1) for producing a wall and ceiling lining, comprising a front face (2) and a rear face (3) and recesses (4, 6) which extend from the front face (2) and from the rear face (3) into the acoustic panel. In order to provide an acoustic panel which both prevents the ability to see through from the front face to the absorber and also prevents particles from passing from the absorber through the acoustic panel (1), according to the invention at least one front-face recess and one rear-face recess (6) are arranged so as to be partially offset from one another and comprise a through-opening (7).

The present invention is an apparatus with detachable, interchangeable panels for varying acoustic and esthetic treatments or effects. Detachable, interchangeable panels are readily attached to and detached from a frame. By exchanging, combining, or removing panels, the absorptive character of the apparatus is altered. Selecting panel sets with more or less perforated surface area results in more absorptive or more reflective behavior, respectively. As such, the apparatus is easily altered to achieve specific gradations of absorption or diffusion. The unobtrusive structural components of the apparatus allow designs to be perforated directly into the panels without obstructions. Accordingly, the apparatus allows both visual and/or acoustic customization, and even exchange between the two. As a non-limiting example, the visual appearance of the panels is imprinted into the sonic character of the space, by the unique arrangements of perforations.

A panel coating system for simple and efficient installation of a removably attachable layer to a panel.

Some embodiments of present disclosure are directed to a micro-perforated glass or glass-ceramics laminate, comprising a first substrate laminated to a second substrate by a first polymer interlayer, wherein the first and the second substrates are independently selected from glass or glass-ceramics, and a plurality of micro-perforations, each of the plurality of micro-perforations extending through the first substrate, the first polymer interlayer, and the second substrate. Some embodiments are directed to methods of forming such micro-perforated glass or glass-ceramics laminates.

A formulation for an acoustically transparent coating for use on an acoustical substrate comprising a water dispersible binder and relatively large filler particles, and characterized by a high pigment to volume concentration, high viscosity, high shear thinning, and fast drying to enable the formulation to be sprayed in droplets that retain their identity when in mutual contact.

Certain example embodiments relate to an acoustic wall assembly that uses active and/or passive sound reverberation to achieve noise-disruptive functionality, and/or a method of making and/or using the same. With the active approach, sound waves in a given frequency range are detected by a sound masking circuit. Responsive to detection of such sound waves, an air pump (e.g., speaker) is used to pump air in the wall assembly to actively mask the detected sound waves via reverberation and/or the like. The wall assembly may include one, two, or more walls, and the walls may be partial or full walls. With the passive approach, sound waves in a given frequency range are disrupted via features (e.g., holes, slits, etc.) formed in and/or on a wall itself. These techniques may be used together or separately, in different example embodiments.

The described embodiments relate generally to a micro-perforated panel systems, methods for noise abatement, methods of meeting safe breaking requirements and methods of making micro-perforated panel systems. In particular, embodiments relate to glass micro-perforated panel systems for noise abatement and meeting safe breaking requirements.

A panel with one or more perforations, having a front surface, wherein the contrast Cm between the front surface and the one or more perforations is less than 0.3, a sound absorbing system including a panel and a masking layer, wherein the masking layer is air permeable, and the use of the panel or the sound absorbing system.
