Soundproofing and Acoustics: Understanding the Differences Between Soundproof Panels and Standard Wall Panels
Tumblr media
Creating a comfortable and functional space often depends on managing sound effectively. Choosing between soundproof panels and standard wall panels becomes crucial when designing a home, office, or studio. Understanding the differences between these panels can help you make better decisions based on your specific needs.
What Are Soundproof Panels?
Soundproof panels are designed to block or reduce sound transmission between spaces. They aim to create a barrier that prevents noise from entering or leaving a room. These panels often consist of dense materials like:
Mass-loaded vinyl: A heavy, flexible material that blocks sound waves.
Acoustic foam: Absorbs sound to reduce echoes and noise.
Fiberglass or mineral wool: Provides sound insulation by trapping sound waves.
Soundproof panels are ideal for applications where controlling noise transmission is essential, such as:
Recording studios
Home theaters
Offices in noisy environments
Apartments with thin walls
Key Features of Soundproof Panels:
Block sound waves by adding mass and density to walls.
Reduce noise transfer between rooms.
Often requires professional installation for maximum effectiveness.
What Are Standard Wall Panels?
Standard wall panels are primarily decorative and functional. They are not designed for soundproofing but can provide basic acoustic benefits. These panels come in various materials, such as:
Drywall: A common material used in most homes.
Wood: Adds warmth and style to interiors.
PVC or composite panels: Lightweight and easy to install.

Implementation and Advantages of Soundproof Wall panels
Many settings like recording studios, theatres, auditoriums and other interiors where sound quality and echo control is important are expected to be completely noise and sound proof while adhering to STC rating. Nonetheless, in many situations, it becomes quite challenging to handle noise issues, specifically if you are located in a busy area or if you have a tendency to have large number of people across the same premises.
Tumblr media
Implementation of acoustic products
Architectural acoustic products like soundproof wall panels have various implementations. They are the ideal solution for challenging noise issues that are hard to control or handle. The acoustic panel in USA by O’Neill Engineered Systems have proven to be effective in different implementations. These comprise of public commercial spaces like recording, radio or television studios, convention centres, offices, meeting rooms, boardrooms or retail setups like shops and shopping centres, lecture halls and theatres, education like classrooms, events and entertainment venues etc.
Different types of acoustic products
There is a wide range of sound foam panels and ceiling panels with decorative and technical features. The four main categories of these panels in USA include ceiling panels, acoustic wall panels, timber panels and fabric panels. They are available in various sizes and with different features to select from.
Advantages of installing acoustic panels
The hard surfaces on the walls and ceilings can impose many issues with reflected sound. Noise levels might reach to an unacceptable level and echo can distort speech and music making it difficult for the audience to hear. Such issues don’t enable you to use your space effectively and completely. Nonetheless, the anechoic chamber in USA will absorb the sound and lessen the echo and will substantially lessen the level of reflected sound. The panels can also be completed to create the desired decorative impact.

Selecting a soundproofing method
While considering different kinds of soundproofing methods, whether for DIY retrofits or professional new construction, it is vital to know how sound is transmitted through the walls to be able to compare the benefits. To decide which method is most enticing, let us analyze first how sound interacts with barriers such as soundproof wall panels and then collate the soundproofing performance of MLV and soundproofing drywall interacts with the barriers, such as soundproof wall panels and then compare.
Tumblr media
Sound vibrations or waves passes from one side of a sound barrier to another by making the barrier to vibrate, which thereby vibrates the air on the other side of the barrier. Generally, barriers with more mass, such as a heavy metal wall, are harder to vibrate, and therefore transmits less noise than the lighter barriers like a sound foam.
Nonetheless, soundproofing goes beyond mass consideration. The latest technology in soundproofing such as anechoic is based on viscoelastic dam While ping. Viscoelastic materials, due to their blend of elastic and viscous properties, dispel energy when they come in contact with sound waves. If we put it differently, when the force of the sound waves hit a layer of a viscoelastic material, the material is deformed by the vibration, but gradually returns to its original form.
Mass Loaded Vinyl can deliver great soundproofing results. Nonetheless installation is labor intensive and the blend of labor cost and materials can make MLV a boring option. In specific for DIY projects, the installation process for MLV is prone to error and also complicated. On the contrary, soundproofing drywall hangs just like a regular drywall.
Both in respect to noise control performance and simplicity of installation, soundproofing drywall is the cheapest and simplest way of accomplishing top class soundproofing while adhering to the STC rating.

My town opened a new library recently.
I've visited a few times and I really love it. The building is powered by solar panels, the landscaping outside is made up of native/resilient plants, there's signs on the walls talking about design choices that were made for sustainability.
There are a lot of charging stations set up, so people can easily charge phones or laptops while they visit, and computers set up for people to use as well.
There's also soundproofed section of the library for teenagers that includes a craft area, a screen people can play games on, and queer graphic novels stocked on the shelves!
And one of the most exciting things to me: it also has a seed bank! There's containers of seeds lined up on a shelf you can take for free, with a sign telling you where you can find books to learn how to plant and care for them. They also accept donations of seeds from anyone who can collect them properly.
Solarpunk is already coming 🌻🌱
I think we can all use a bit if good news these days. Libraries are always the start of beautiful change that spreads outwards 💕
Thank you for this!!

Fabric wall panel- A custom solution
We have worked on few interesting projects where the brief has been to create customized designs that offer interesting and trendy acoustic wall solutions. Fabric wall panel is a custom fabric system. With some tricky manipulation, our track can be curved or cut to meet unique design briefs, creating different angles, shapes, and realizations. We have worked on various projects where our experienced designers had to think outside the box to make some unique design led sound absorbing solutions.
Tumblr media
The solution needed a hidden track and the incorporation of a hidden sound system with soundproof tiles. With some tricky manipulation of our track system, we were efficiently able to replicate the flooring, resembling a rising sun while hiding the sound system without lessening its efficiency and without compromising pre-existing ceiling services like fire detection systems.
The high tension nature of the noiseblocker made sure that the acoustic core of the system didn’t sag, creating a seamless ceiling finish.
As the installation of the noise cancelling room was part of a bigger renovation project, the timescales in which to agree designs and install the solution were quite tight. The project went from initial acoustic survey to completed installation in just 5 weeks, an amazingly fast turnaround for a project of this nature and stature.
The installation itself, which comprises of wall to wall fitting across 5 suites, takes just a couple of weeks. Working to very tight timelines to make sure a handover was made effectively, our proficient installation team worked relentlessly to get the best quality finish in each of the editing suites.
O’Neill Engineered Systems was contacted in respect to creating a feature wall solution in one of the meeting rooms of the client. The brief on this project to undertake the creative use of cheap materials whilst creating a look that complemented the unfinished, industrial outlook to the room.

Max Verstappen
Tumblr media
✧Wildest Dreams - Taylor Swift
Max was almost always found on the race track, if not in real life then in the simulator with team redline or just solo streaming. It was his comfort zone, what he knew best. Stepping out of that comfort usually had Max counting down the seconds until it was over and he could go back home to you and the cats, but today was different seeing as he had followed you to the studio on this particular winter morning. You were so secretive on the jet ride to London, furiously scribbling in your leather notebook that was falling apart from being under constant strain of ripped out pages, daily use and the odd time that Sassy got her claws on it when it was left out in odd spaces in their home.
"Tell me again why I had to be here today if I am not allowed to hear the new songs yet?" he mumbled with a cheeky grin as he followed you through the door out of the cold and rainy weather, the recording studio was warm at least. Elliot, your producer, got there before them and had boosted the heat in the building to knock the chill out of your bones before what promised to be a long day in front of the mic. "Because we only have one more song to record Maxie, and I want to know what you think of it." You never really meant to be secretive about your music but the nerves of releasing this particular album were leagues higher than in the past since it was your first studio album since you and Max had started dating a year ago.
You met on night two of the European leg of your last tour, Victoria was a big fan of your music and had dragged Tom and Max to your Amsterdam show. His only exposure to you prior to that night had been through the walls of his sisters home when he came to see his nephews but seeing you on stage that night was the nail in the coffin on his single life. Being the world famous racing driver that he was gave him the chance to meet you after the show and the rest was history.
Which led him to where he was today, sitting on the ridiculously comfortable couch behind the production table watching you working on the final piece of the puzzle that would make up your newest record.
"Alright, lets get playback and do a first run through." Elliot prompted you through the microphone that fed his voice through the soundproof booth into your headset. One nod of acknowledgement from you and the playback started, Max could hear the live feed through the speakers for the first time and the drum beat caused him to sit forward with his full attention.
The last thing he was expecting was the lyrics that came out through those speakers,
He's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad, but he does it so well
You had always joked about him being your muse since the week you started dating, when you would be on dates and he would see you stop dead in your tracks to pull out that notebook.
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha
He felt the flush in his cheeks and the grin rise on his cheeks before he even had the chance to fully process what was happening. The song you were most excited to show him that you couldn't even wait until the album was finished, it was about him.
After the initial recording session Elliot busied himself with the hundreds of buttons, sliders and dials on the panel in front of him, you crouched to get your water bottle, ready to go again if needed but Max, he couldn't take his eyes off of you even if he tried. When the ok was given from Elliot you crept out from behind the door of the booth with a shy smile on your face as you made your way to stand in front of him, awaiting the reaction of the love of your life.
"so what do you think?"
Max could barely get the words out between the kisses he was peppering all over your face and neck.
"Vic is going to be so jealous I got a song."

✧Lando Norris
Tumblr media
✧Nonsense - Sabrina Carpenter
Your Vegas show was strategically planned to fall the day before Lando had to be stuck in the paddock all weekend for the first Las Vegas Grand Prix, which led to many of the drivers and their girlfriends to fill up the VIP section of the theatre that housed hundred of excited fans waiting excitedly to see you take the stage.
You and Lando had known each other for years, being in the same year in school up until your GCSE's when he had left to focus on racing and you had moved from England to the states to pursue your music career. You were childhood sweethearts that stood the test of time and the long distance to end up where you are today, both living in Monaco during the off season with you accompanying Lando to each and every race in the last year, spending all your spare time in one of two places, the studio or cuddled up in Lando's arms in the privacy of your apartment. But with your first full studio album skyrocketing you through the charts a world tour soon followed and it had been a few weeks since your schedules had synced up enough to allow you both some real time to spend together. Lando had never been so thankful to have the racing season coming to a close in a few weeks, and with your last 5 shows coming in the following days to wrap up the tour he was ecstatic to have you all to himself for winter break.
His conversation with Oscar and Lily was cut short when the familiar piano notes of 'Emails I Can't Send' ring out through the venue and the screams and cheers of everyone in the room make a dumb grin break out on his face. Your figure appearing on the stage in your iconic tour outfit that Lando was obsessed with, but what made his smile bigger was the slight changes in the style of the outfit that graced your body on the stage, your dress that was usually a hot pink or lavender colour was changed to the oh so familiar papaya colour he knew as his team colours and your white boots had the number 4 emblazoned on them in his iconic neon yellow branding on the chunky heel stem.
The night was electric as he watched you up there, giving the crowd what he would say is the night of their lives as song after hit song was performed with your infectious talent and energy.
Right as the final notes of 'Sue Me' rang out to the crowd he expected the show to end as he knew the set list by heart from being to a few shows at the beginning of the tour, but you weren't leaving the stage and as you started speaking to the crowd his fixed gaze that had been watching you the whole night was broken as he heard the hushed conversation of some of the WAGs that were surrounding him, he barely had time to notice that Alexandra, Lily and Rebecca were looking at him with shit eating grins on their faces and Carlos was recording him on his phone before you stole his attention again.
"So guys, my boyfriend is actually in the crowd tonight." was all you managed to say before the fans cheered, hundreds of faces looking right at him as you let out that beautiful laugh he loves so much before continuing. "Lando is racing in Vegas this weekend and I've been on tour so I haven't been able to see him in like, forever. But the cool thing about that is he hasn't been able to hear this next song, same as you guys."
An unfamiliar melody started to loop through the venue as the cheers of fans kicked up once again. Pure confusion spread across his face as you continued to introduce the new song. "So this is my new single on the deluxe edition of the album and I hope you all enjoy it."
The room was electric as you began to sing, and Lando very quickly realised the reason why everyone of the drivers and their partners surrounding him had the same reaction, because Lando was not expecting to have a song about him drop that very night, but god was he glad it was.
I'll be honest
Lookin' at you got me thinkin' nonsense
Cartwheels in my stomach when you walk in
And when you got your arms around me
Ooh, it feels so good I had to jump the octave
His face felt like it was on fire but his ego was growing by the second.
I'm talkin' all around clock
I'm talkin' hope nobody knocks
I'm talkin' opposite of soft
I'm talkin' wild, wild thoughts
You gotta keep up with me
I got some young energy
I caught the L-O-V-E
How do you do this to me?
The song began to end and the last lines of the outro had Lando impossibly excited for the night to end so he finally got to have you to himself again.
he loves me so good its downright heinous
this songs P1 in my boyfriends playlist
what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas
Oh yeah, he was definitely glad he got you all to himself.

Oscar Piastri
Tumblr media
✧Human - Dodie
University had been consuming what felt like your entire existence, barely having enough time or energy to apply to anything that didn't involve coursework, especially since you had your contemporary song writing final project due in a few days. Life had consisted of spending days locked away in your dorm room in front of your travel keyboard trying to construct a melody that felt lightyears away from you.
"You can't keep rotting away in there you know, I don't think we will get our deposit back if you melt into the carpet."
Hattie had been your best friend from the day you started preschool, your entire lives had been spend joined at the hip, you were unable to be separated in your younger years, down to the first days of school every year which were spent in the Piastri home's kitchen eating a breakfast that Nicole had made while you and Hattie chattered so loud that the whole house was brought to life with your laughter. Your tight bond had extended to today, where you both sat in the shared kitchen of your university housing, cups of tea decorating the table along with a pair of laptops and more sheet music blank than filled.
This had easily become the hardest assignment of your degree for you, where Hattie seemingly had no issue and was just finishing the arrangements of her own work before she got to submit her assignment and go home for summer break, you on the other hand felt like smacking your head against the wall, your fractured concentration being split even further by the commentary coming from your phone that was propped up in front of 6 crumpled pieces of composition paper, the Spanish Grand Prix well underway on the other side of the world, where Hattie's brother (who just so happened to be your boyfriend) was in the final laps of his race weekend.
"I know, I cant for the life of me figure out what's wrong. Nothing I've written feels good enough and I really don't want to fail this assignment. The last thing I need is to be back here in three months to repeat this class."
The voices that seeped from your phone announced that with that final lap the race was over and glancing at the chart that took up the left side of the screen a smile broke out on your face. Hattie let her curiosity get the better of her as she rounded the table to watch over your shoulder. "P2, He will be happy with that."
Your whole body itched for a change of scenery after a further 30 minutes with no progress so while Hattie started on dinner for you both you slipped on a jacket and stuffed your notebook into your pocket, heading outside for some fresh air. The weather had cooled only slightly compared to the usual stifling Australian heat which allowed you to sit under the awning of the bike sheds outside the building. Your phone rings not 2 minutes after you settle into a comfortable position, a the familiar contact flashing on the screen as you swipe to answer.
"Congratulations on your podium, Osc." Your words rang out through the empty courtyard as familiar breathing was heard in your ear, the boy you had loved since your childhood clearly having settled in his drivers room after his race. "Thank you, how is your assignment going? Still giving you trouble?" Your audible groan at the mention of the demonic workload hanging over your week was met with warm laughter on the other end of the phone. "That bad huh?"
"I don't know why but I haven't been able to focus enough to even get a melody going, everything I've tried sounds like it was written by The Wiggles." The snort of laughter that rang through her ears eased the stress that held her body hostage by the second and her own laughter broke out to match. "Hey, everyone loves The Wiggles, I think you would make a very cute Wiggle personally."
Oscar's words had her breaking up laughing this time. "Yeah, you would say that." Her voice taunted him over the line, memories flooding her mind of the ridiculous stories that Nicole had told her when she and Oscar had first gotten together when he came back after graduating from his British boarding school, about Oscar being five years old and in love with the Yellow Wiggle at that stage in his life. "I know you can make something amazing, everything you write is so incredible but you need to be kinder to yourself love, you're only human after all."
Oscar's advice rang through her mind as she ended the call with him, his presence being required to go to his post race debrief before he could go to the airport to fly back home to start the summer break with her. Before she could blink the floodgates in her mind finally let loose the creativity that she had been craving since she began the writing process a week ago. Sprinting up the stairs she had just enough time to grab the bowl of spaghetti Hattie had prepared her with a rushed thank you thrown over her shoulder.
An hour and a half later she finally submitted the dreaded assignment and packed her microphone away with the rest of her minimal recording equipment, quickly attaching the audio file to a text and sending it to Oscar before the night caught up with her and she drifted off to sleep in the navy blue OP81 hoodie that she wore to death.
The next morning was hectic, full of packing and cleaning as both girls got ready to pack up Hattie's car and get on the road, with the semester finally over and the promise of a few weeks on the road with Oscar melting the last of her stress. In the chaos of the morning she didn't get to check her messages until noon, where she was met with two texts, one from Logan and one from Oscar.
Oscars message was opened first, a quick 'I knew you could do it <3' sent in the middle of the night, considering the time difference it must have been when he was getting on his flight. The message from Logan showed a video of Oscar sitting on the plane, her voice playing through the speakers of Oscars phone as he stared at it with pure adoration in his eyes.
I want to give you your grin So tell me you can't bear a room that I'm not in Paint me in trust I'll be your best friend Call me the one This night just can't end Oh Oh, I'm so human We're just human

George Russell
Tumblr media
✧Bewitched - Laufey
"Remind me why I'm doing this again, this feels like something that I shouldn't be allowed to do."
The ball of stress that stood in front of George pacing in a midnight blue evening gown would have been the funniest thing in the world to him if he was looking at anyone in the world other than you, his beautiful girlfriend who looked about 3 seconds away from passing out. This seemed like an appropriate time as any for you to suddenly develop stage fright, because you were used to busking on the streets of London with your guitar in your teenage years, eventually moving up to small, intimate gigs in your early 20s to crowds that seemed smaller than a classroom, this was in a whole different ballpark. George met you when you both attended a charity event three years before that was funding for sick children across the UK, part of what drew him to you was your unwavering confidence that you walked through life with, he supposed that musicians had to be born with a certain level of audacity but you were unlike anyone he had ever met before, which is why your anxious behaviour was such a shock to the system.
It eventually became too much for George to take as he stood from his seat in the dressing room and held you firm by the hips, halting you from burning a permanent line in the ridiculously expensive carpet that lined the floors. That seemed to do the trick as you finally managed to take a deep enough breath to ease the tension in your body long enough to look him in the eyes. "What if it's shit Georgie?"
Your statement pulled a chuckle from him before he he could think to stop it. "Impossible love, you've never been shit at anything you've ever done." His reassurance sent a visible comfort through your body as the rest of your muscles relaxed. "Except for padel, you are brutal at padel." George took the laugh that lit up the room as a good sign, god he loved your laugh, he once described it as reminding him of sleigh bells at Christmas which got a good laugh out of Lando and Alex, they still hadn't let him live it down, not that he minded much.
The knock at the door sent your body rigid once more as the stage hand that had been sent for you poked his head around the door to give you a 5 minute warning until you took to the stage. It was unlike anything you had ever done before, George supposed that being invited to perform at one of the most prestigious concert halls in the UK was daunting to begin with, but being asked to perform at their anniversary celebration that was being attended by what seemed like every important person they could think of, royalty included, well George was impressed that this was the extent of your nerves. A big deal indeed.
"You'll be watching me the whole time?"
Your request was endearing if unnecessary, because there were very few moments in his life now that George was not totally enraptured by you, he had been the muse of many memes in his time but his favourite had to be all the times that journalists and fans alike had compiled evidence of the many times that George was probably supposed to be paying attention to something, a meeting, a conversation, but his eyes never left you. "I'll be in the wings the entire time my love, now go, break a leg."
Heavy velvet curtains hid him from sight as the lights faded on to reveal you, centre stage and framed by a beautiful orchestra. The polite applause was so different from the screams of fans that he was used to hearing on a race weekend, but it set the tone as the orchestra began to play, now George was familiar with pretty much every song you had ever written due to how often your voice could be heard through your shared home, but this song was completely new, you had kept it under lock and key deeming it a surprise. As your voice joined the strings and woodwinds he began to realise that this was a wonderful surprise indeed.
You bewitch me Every damn second you're with me I try to think straight But I'm falling so badly, I'm coming apart You wrote me a note, cast a spell on my heart And bewitched me Bewitch You bewitched me
As the audience broke out into thunderous applause and you took your bow, George took a moment to pat the small square box in the pocket of his suit jacket, the box that held the promise of forever.
Bewitched was the only word word to describe him.

Logan Sargeant
Tumblr media
✧Pancakes for Dinner - Lizzy Mc Alpine
In the last few years Logan had been away from his family and friends during the Fourth of July weekend. It was never easy, he spent most of his childhood surrounded by all the people he loved most, with barbecue food and football on the beach filling up the day, the celebrations starting early in the morning and ending with the insane firework display at night. They were some of his favourite memories, the ones that comforted him on the days and nights when his career started to feel like a noose around his neck that tightened with every race weekend that didn't go according to plan.
Which is why he was so happy that this year, the race calendar perfectly bordered his beloved holiday, with Austria ending mere hours before he found himself on a flight back to Florida to celebrate on his week off before Silverstone. Seeing his family was a welcome reprieve from his hectic life, but seeing you was the cherry on top of a perfect week.
The firepit that roared at the beginning of the night had died down to a comforting glow, the beach behind his family home now empty apart from you and him, the rest of the guests gone inside to continue the festivities in the house. "It's good to have you back Lo, I miss you a lot when you're off living the dream" your voice carries across the space between you as you messed with the guitar that sat on your lap, beer forgotten at your feet as you strummed random chords. You had always been his best friend ever since you both met at a karting track as kids, he used to race with your brother before he decided that baseball was his calling, but you and Logan were attached at the hip until he left to move to England to take his career to another level. Now your friendship consisted of facetime calls, battling with time zone differences instead of a 10 minute walk to your house. "You should agree to come to more races then, you know you're invited to basically every one right?"
In reality he knew that globetrotting with him to a new country every fortnight wasn't that simple. You were a veterinary nurse in Florida and he was a racing driver, both of your schedules too hectic to allow for any real time spent together that didn't involve him making the trip back to his hometown. "You really want to put me and your boss on the same continent, I'm too pretty to go to jail!"
The two of you busted up into laughter at the idea of James Vowels being unfortunate enough to be close enough to you that you could finally give the man a piece of your mind. "I do miss Lily though, so might have to take some time off for Austin this year." The fake offended noise that left his lips made you laugh hard enough that Logan was sure his neighbours could hear you. He was sure that the only bond that could rival the one you shared with him was the one that you held with his teammates girlfriend, the fact that you had spent more time at the golf course with Lily this year than you had seeing him face to face sparked emotions in him that he wasn't quite ready to acknowledge.
"What are you playing there?"
The sly smile that crept up onto your face, illuminated by the firelight made his heart stutter, your answer didn't betray your emotions as you started strumming the melody more clearly.
"I wrote you something."
Logan swore his pulse started up in double time as you met his eyes. You had played guitar since you were eight years old but your own songs had been secret for as long as he can remember. But something in the moment caused you to let him into a part of your life he was sure he would never see.
"Play it for me."
The world around them was muffled and felt a million miles away as you nodded before training your eyes on the black ocean in front of you both. Lyrics flowing from you before you changed your mind.
I wanna eat pancakes for dinner I wanna get stuck in your head I wanna watch a T.V. show together And when we're under the weather we can watch it in bed I wanna go out on the weekends I wanna dress up just to get undressed I think that I should probably tell you this In case there is an accident And I never see you again So please save all your questions for the end And maybe I'll be brave enough by then
Laughter from the house behind you both broke the electric energy that filled the air.
"So? What do you think?"
Logan could only hope his kiss was worth a thousand words.

Alex Albon
Tumblr media
✧Juno - Sabrina Carpenter
There wasn't a person alive that believed the joke that Alexander Albon was the biggest WAG in the world than the man himself. While he spent his days driving his Williams car in the midfield of the F1 grid he was more than aware that you kissed him good morning every day you spent together, only to go and play a sold out concert to a stadium of adoring fans, of which Alex was your biggest.
He still found himself pinching his arm whenever he saw you, either on stage playing the global superstar or in the comfort of your own home playing with your puppy Juniper. It seemed uncharacteristic of him when he slid into your DM's one night after seeing a concert with his sisters, but fate apparently had his cards picked out in his favour when you visited a race a few weeks later as a guest of Red Bull and he got to meet you in person, the rest was history as you had been dating the Thai driver ever since.
The distance wasn't always easy but this particular summer break lined up perfectly with the end of the US leg of your most recent tour, which is how you both ended up spending your three week break in Bali, completely wrapped up in each other with no work interruptions.
Until today that is.
His place in your shared bed gave him the perfect view of you pacing the balcony of the villa that had been rented for the duration of your stay. His eyes easily following your body as it appeared in the doorway before disappearing just as quick, back and forth as you spoke to your management team on the phone, a call which was hitting the forty minute mark, causing his patience to wear thin. Luckily just before the call was about to hit an hour in length you ended it and your figure bounding back into the room caused him to sit up against the headboard. You grabbed your laptop from your bag before sliding back into bed, lips meeting his before you settled in and began furiously searching through the files on your desktop.
"what part of vacation do they not understand?" he groaned, his face finding the crook of your neck as you let out a laugh, nudging his side.
"That was Marcus, Short and Sweet drops in an hour."
Alex could feel the excitement vibrating through your body. Your most recent album had been in the works for months and while he usually got to live through the entire process with late night writing sessions and studio visits between races, you had been oddly secretive when it came to this one. He was excited for you, he loved your voice and your music was what had brought you together so seeing you continue to make the music that made you so happy made the challenges that came with your relationship worth it.
A soft "aha" pulled him out of his daydream as you pulled up the folder that contained the songs. He sat up again, ready for the full listening party that he was so used to at this point. Which is why his proud grin turned a tad confused as you dragged the cursor down to the third to last track on the album, his question died on his tongue as you pressed play on the file titled Juno (A.A<3) and the music started to pour through the speakers of your laptop.
Oh, I know you want my touch for life If you love me right, then who knows? I might let you make me Juno You know I just might (Might) Let you lock me down tonight One of me is cute, but two though? Give it to me, baby You make me wanna make you fall in love
His ears burned as the song ended and by the look on your face he was reacting exactly how you wanted.
"So? What do you think?"
Your laptop tumbled onto a stray cushion that found its way onto the floor, as he tackled you back onto the sheets. laughter filling the room.
Thank god for the end of the tour.
✧・゚: ✧・゚: ✧・゚: ✧・゚: ✧・゚: ✧・゚: ✧・゚: ✧・゚:
Part two will be up asap. Requests are open.
Hope you enjoyed!

Fabric wall panel- A custom solution
We have worked on few interesting projects where the brief has been to create customized designs that offer interesting and trendy acoustic wall solutions. Fabric wall panels is a custom fabric system. With some tricky manipulation, our track can be curved or cut to meet unique design briefs, creating different angles, shapes, and realizations. We have worked on various projects where our experienced designers had to think outside the box to make some unique design led sound absorbing solutions.
Tumblr media
The solution needed a hidden track and the incorporation of a hidden sound system with soundproof tiles. With some tricky manipulation of our track system, we were efficiently able to replicate the flooring, resembling a rising sun while hiding the sound system without lessening its efficiency and without compromising pre-existing ceiling services like fire detection systems.
The high tension nature of the noiseblocker made sure that the acoustic core of the system didn’t sag, creating a seamless ceiling finish.
As the installation of the noise cancelling room was part of a bigger renovation project, the timescales in which to agree designs and install the solution were quite tight. The project went from initial acoustic survey to completed installation in just 5 weeks, an amazingly fast turnaround for a project of this nature and stature. The installation itself, which comprises of wall to wall fitting across 5 suites, takes just a couple of weeks. Working to very tight timelines to make sure a handover was made effectively, our proficient installation team worked relentlessly to get the best quality finish in each of the editing suites.
O’Neill Engineered Systems was contacted in respect to creating a feature wall solution in one of the meeting rooms of the client. The brief on this project to undertake the creative use of cheap materials whilst creating a look that complemented the unfinished, industrial outlook to the room.

chapter six: dreams
wc: 2.7k
cw: drinking
A couple of weeks after the meeting, the four of you finally secured an appointment with the head director of the label. It was the moment you’d all been waiting for, yet the anticipation left you on edge. The director had asked for a portfolio of materials—demos, performance videos, and a few polished tracks—and you had delivered, spending days perfecting every detail to ensure the band’s best work was on display.
The meeting was scheduled at one of the label’s premier recording studios, a sprawling, state-of-the-art facility that felt miles away from the DIY setup you were used to. Walking into the studio for the first time was like stepping into another world. The walls were lined with platinum records, and the sleek, modern equipment glinted under the soft glow of recessed lighting. The air itself felt charged with possibility, as though the walls held echoes of every hit song ever recorded there.
Ekko was the first to comment, his eyes wide as he took in the control room. “This… this is insane,” he whispered, running a hand over one of the massive soundboards. “Do you even know what this thing can do? It’s worth more than my car. Hell, probably more than my house.”
Jinx was equally in awe, practically bouncing as she examined the vocal booth through the glass panel. “Do you think we’ll get to record in here? Like, for real? I mean, listen to this!” She clapped her hands together, and the perfect acoustics made even the small sound echo like a symphony.
You couldn’t help but smile at their excitement, though your attention kept drifting to Vi, who was standing near the drum kit set up in the live room. She ran her fingers over the polished cymbals and nodded quietly, her expression unreadable.
“Feels different, doesn’t it?” you said, stepping up beside her.
“Yeah,” she replied softly. “It’s… surreal. We’ve been recording in Ekko’s garage for so long, I didn’t think we’d ever get here.”
“Don’t forget the soundproofing foam we duct-taped to the walls,” you teased, earning a small chuckle from her.
“Hey, that foam was the MVP,” she said, her lips curving into a smirk. “But this? This is on another level.”
When the director finally arrived, a tall man in a crisp blazer with a presence that immediately commanded respect, you all quickly gathered in the control room. He introduced himself as Mark Caldwell and wasted no time in getting down to business.
“First of all, let me say, your demo impressed the hell out of me,” he began, leaning against the console as he addressed the group. “I’ve been in this industry a long time, and I can tell when a band has something real. You’ve got it. Now, the challenge is taking that raw talent and refining it without losing what makes it special.”
He gestured toward the studio equipment. “This place is yours for the next few hours. I want you to record a live session—no pressure, just play like you’re at one of your shows. We’ll use it as a baseline to figure out where to go next. Sounds good?”
You all nodded, a mix of excitement and nerves bubbling under the surface.
“Good,” Mark said, standing up straight. “One more thing. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about capturing who you are as a band. Don’t overthink it—just play.”
The four of you exchanged glances.
“Well,” Ekko said, cracking his knuckles, “looks like it’s time to show them what we’ve got.”
“So what do you guys want to play?” Jinx asks, looking at the three of you
As you settled into your positions, the reality of the moment hit you. For years, you’d made do with what you had—recording in Ekko’s garage, using secondhand equipment, and figuring it all out as you went. But now, standing in a professional studio with the best gear and people in the industry at your disposal, it felt like everything was about to change.
And when you played the first note, it did. The sound was unlike anything you’d ever heard before—clean, rich, and so alive it sent chills down your spine. The way the instruments blended was pure magic, with Vi’s precise drumming anchoring the rhythm, Ekko’s basslines adding a steady pulse, and Jinx’s electrifying guitar melodies soaring with clarity. But it wasn’t just the instruments; your voice brought it all together, cutting through the air with a resonance that felt larger than life.
For the first time, you felt like a real singer, not just someone chasing a dream in Ekko’s garage. The way the studio’s acoustics carried your voice made every word, every note, feel like it had its own weight. You started with some new, unreleased tracks, carefully chosen to showcase the band’s growth, but by the end, you let yourself get lost in the moment.
“Alright,” you said into the mic, your tone playful as you looked at the others. “Let’s mix it up.”
Jinx immediately picked up on your energy, her guitar shifting into an improvised riff. “Finally! I thought we were gonna stay on script forever,” she teased, throwing a grin your way.
Ekko rolled his eyes but joined in, his bassline syncing effortlessly with her experimental melody. “Just don’t blame me if we go off the rails,” he joked.
“Keep up, kids,” Vi said from behind her drum kit, her sticks tapping out a steady rhythm as she grounded the improvised jam.
And then you sang. Lyrics you hadn’t planned spilled out, and the band followed your lead. The energy was raw, unfiltered, and powerful. You could feel it in the way your voice hit the high notes, in the way Jinx’s guitar seemed to sing with you, and in the way Vi and Ekko kept the entire thing tight yet vibrant.
By the time the final note rang out, the room felt charged with energy. You looked up, breathless, to see the label director, Mark, grinning on the other side of the glass. His voice came through the speakers, making you jump slightly.
“Well, I think that was all I needed to hear. You guys were great,” he said, his tone calm but full of certainty.
The words hung in the air for a moment before Jinx, ever the bold one, leaned into the mic in front of her. “Wait, great as in good? Or great as in ‘We’re sending your manager a contract tomorrow’ great?”
Mark chuckled, shaking his head. “The second one. Congratulations, guys. You’ve got it. Now go celebrate—because this is just the start.”
The room exploded into cheers. Jinx spun around, hugging her guitar before giving Ekko an enthusiastic high-five. Vi smirked, twirling a drumstick as she leaned back in her chair, the hint of pride unmistakable. Ekko laughed, clapping you on the shoulder.
You stood there, the reality of his words sinking in. This was it. The years of hard work, late-night rehearsals, and doubts had led to this moment.
Jinx threw an arm around your shoulders, her grin wide. “Told you we’d make it,” she said, nudging you playfully.
“You’re right,” you replied, unable to keep the smile off your face. “We really did.”
As you all packed up your instruments, Mark’s words echoed in your mind. This wasn’t just the end of a chapter—it was the start of something much bigger. You looked around at your bandmates, their excitement mirroring your own, and felt a spark of determination.
──────────────────────
“So, what now?” you asked, standing outside the record label building. You were still walking on cloud nine, adrenaline coursing through your veins. Your whole body felt electrified, as though the energy from the session hadn’t left you. The night air was cool, but it couldn’t temper the heat of excitement bubbling inside you. “If I go home right now, I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep.”
“Me neither, to be honest. I feel like I just downed five of those energy drinks Jinx is obsessed with,” Ekko said, laughing as he leaned against the railing beside you.
Jinx smirked, swinging her guitar case over her shoulder. “Come on, my energy drinks are what keep this band alive. You’d all be half-asleep without me.”
“You’re the last person who needs more caffeine,” Vi quipped, twirling a drumstick in her hand like she always did when she was buzzing with energy. “But yeah, I’m not ready to call it a night either.”
Ekko tilted his head thoughtfully. “So, what do we do? Celebrate? Grab some food? Go somewhere?”
“I know the last time we went to a club, you guys hated me for a couple of days, *but*,” Jinx said, dragging the word out and batting her eyelashes in exaggerated innocence, “we don’t have anything scheduled for tomorrow. I vote we go out for drinks.”
You raised an eyebrow. “Jinx, the last time we went out for drinks, you ended up dancing on the bar and Ekko got into an argument with the DJ.”
“Correction,” Jinx said, pointing a finger at you. “Ekko got into an argument because the DJ wouldn’t play my request. And, if I recall correctly, you weren’t exactly sober or innocent that night either. You disappeared after claiming you were going 'to the bathroom,'” she said, making air quotes with her fingers.
Vi chuckled, clearly recalling what actually happened. “You know what? I’m down,” she said with a smirk, leaning back against the railing. “I mean, we deserve it after today.”
Ekko groaned. “I don’t know if my reputation can survive another night like that, but…” He shrugged, a grin spreading across his face. “Screw it. Let’s do it.”
“That’s the spirit!” Jinx cheered, punching the air in victory. “Okay, I know just the place. It’s got cheap drinks, good music, and enough chaos to keep things interesting.”
“Sounds like trouble,” you muttered, but the excitement was already building. It had been a long time since you’d let loose, and the adrenaline from the studio session was still buzzing in your veins. “Alright, Jinx. Let’s just leave these things at my place, and we can go.”
After a quick stop at your apartment to drop off your instruments, Jinx led the way to the spot she’d been so excited about.
It was a pleasant surprise. The place was leagues better than the chaotic club she’d dragged you to in LA. The DJ was playing a mix of upbeat and chill tracks that actually made sense together, the lighting was warm and inviting, and it wasn’t packed to the point of suffocation. People were dancing in small, carefree groups, while others mingled at the bar or lounged around tables, laughing and enjoying themselves. It felt alive in the best way—a comfortable buzz of energy without the overwhelming chaos of your previous outing.
You stopped at the bar first, each of you ordering your drinks. Jinx, naturally, went for something vibrant and sugary—her cocktail an almost cartoonish shade of blue. Vi opted for something simple, a whiskey neat, while Ekko chose a craft beer after taking an unnecessarily long time debating his options. You ordered your go-to, letting the familiarity ground you for a moment before following Jinx to an open table near the edge of the room.
As the four of you settled into the cushy seats, drinks in hand, you raised your glass to the group. “To us,” you said with a grin, the words heartfelt. “And to whatever comes next.”
“To whatever comes next!” Jinx echoed, clinking her glass against yours with a grin before taking a long sip of her cocktail. She lowered it, her eyes sparkling as she glanced around the lively room. “I can’t believe this is actually happening,” she said, her voice filled with awe. She gestured with her drink, the blue liquid sloshing slightly. “I mean, this is it. We’re actually doing it. No more garage demos. No more begging venues to let us open for a band nobody’s heard of. We’re in.”
Vi nodded, swirling her whiskey lazily in its glass. “Feels good, doesn’t it? Feels like…” She paused, searching for the right words. “Like maybe all the crap we’ve been through was worth it.”
“It better have been,” Ekko said with a laugh, raising his beer. “I didn’t waste years soundproofing my garage just to get here and not enjoy it.”
Jinx snorted. “You mean *we* didn’t waste years soundproofing your garage. Let’s not forget who came up with the duct-tape-and-blanket solution when we ran out of foam.”
“I’m pretty sure that was me,” Vi cut in, smirking. “I was the one who said it wasn’t gonna hold and then ended up holding it anyway.”
The laughter came easy, the banter flowing naturally as you reminisced about the less-than-glamorous moments that had brought you here. For a while, it felt like time slowed, the stress and pressure of the industry melting away. It was just the four of you, a table full of drinks, and the unshakable bond that had carried you through every late-night rehearsal and every failed gig.
As the night wore on, you found yourself watching your bandmates with a kind of quiet affection. Jinx was animated, her hands flying wildly as she retold the story of one of your earliest shows—a chaotic disaster back then, but hilarious now. Ekko leaned back in his chair, laughing so hard his beer nearly tipped over, his deep, booming chuckles contagious. And Vi… Vi was quieter than the others, but her eyes were bright, her smirk constant as she leaned her elbow on the table, soaking it all in. She looked at ease, her usual guarded exterior melted away in the warmth of the moment.
Your face was warm too, though you weren’t sure if it was from the alcohol or the swirl of emotions bubbling in your chest. They were your family—a little crooked, with sharp edges that didn’t always fit perfectly together—but they were yours, and you loved them for it. Through the fights, the failures, and the small victories, they were the constant that kept you going.
Eventually, after Ekko’s near-miss with his beer and Jinx’s attempt to convince the bartender to name a cocktail after her, you decided to call it a night. The four of you spilled out onto the street, the cool night air hitting your flushed cheeks as you laughed about nothing in particular.
Ekko and Jinx shared an uber, Jinx dramatically leaning out of the window as it pulled away. “Don’t forget, we’re crashing your place tomorrow to grab our stuff!” she called, pointing at you as the car disappeared into the distance.
And then it was just you and Vi, standing in the quiet outside the bar. The sounds of the city buzzed faintly in the background, but it felt like a bubble had formed around the two of you. She stuffed her hands in her jacket pockets, glancing at you with a small, amused smile.
“Guess it’s just us now,” she said, her tone casual, but there was a softness in her voice that made your chest tighten.
You hesitated for a moment, your heart pounding as you worked up the courage to ask what had been sitting at the edge of your mind all night. “Do you… I don’t know, wanna come over?” The words came out as smoothly as you could manage, though you were sure your voice betrayed some of the nervous energy bubbling beneath the surface. You tried to play it off as casual, but the truth was far from it.
The truth was, you had spent the week after coming home thinking about the last night you had shared together. Maybe it hadn’t been planned; maybe it had surprised you both when she woke up in your bed. But in the moment, it had felt right—like you were meant to be kissing her neck, like she was meant to be holding you that way. You had tried to shake it off, to attribute it to adrenaline and too many drinks, but the memory clung to you. And now, standing here with her, it burned fresh in your mind.
Vi tilted her head, studying you for a moment, and you couldn’t tell what she was thinking. The silence stretched just long enough to make you second-guess yourself, but then she nodded, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips. “Yeah,” she said softly. “I’d like that.”
Relief and excitement hit you all at once, but you kept your composure, nodding as you gestured in the direction of her bike. “Alright. Let’s go.”

Acoustic Treatment: Tips for Corporate Office Installation
Walk into a modern corporate office, and you're likely to see open floor plans, stylish furniture, and collaborative work zones. But beneath the surface of all this sleek design lies an element that's often overlooked—acoustic treatment. While natural light and ergonomic furniture get the spotlight, a noisy office can quietly chip away at productivity, employee satisfaction, and even mental well-being.
That’s where the science—and art—of acoustic treatment steps in. Whether you're revamping an old office or planning interiors for a brand-new workspace, managing sound intelligently can be a game-changer. In this article, we break down practical tips and essential tools like acoustic panels, acoustic boards, acoustic sheets, and more to help you create a more peaceful and productive environment.
Why Acoustic Matters in a Corporate Office
In bustling corporate settings, constant phone calls, keyboard tapping, Zoom meetings, and casual chatter can create a cacophony of noise. This background noise is more than a nuisance; studies have shown that it leads to decreased concentration, increased stress levels, and reduced efficiency.
Effective acoustic treatment ensures that sound is controlled in a way that supports different types of work—from deep focus to collaborative brainstorming. It’s not just about absorbing noise, but also about directing sound intelligently through various acoustic materials and design strategies.
Tip 1: Start with a Sound Audit
Before diving into the installation of acoustic panels or acoustic sheets, conduct a sound audit of your space. This involves identifying:
High-noise zones (cafeterias, collaborative areas)
Quiet zones (executive cabins, meeting rooms)
Transition zones (hallways, reception)
Understanding how sound travels in your space will guide where to place acoustic materials effectively.
Tip 2: Use Acoustic Panels for Wall Absorption
When people think of acoustic treatment, wall-mounted acoustic panels are often the first thing that comes to mind—and for good reason. These panels are designed to absorb sound waves and reduce echo, especially in rooms with hard surfaces like glass or concrete.
Acoustic panels come in a variety of colors, shapes, and materials. Whether you’re going for a minimalist, modern look or a more vibrant, branded aesthetic, there's a panel for every design vision. Strategically install them in areas where sound reflections are highest—typically large walls opposite workstations or meeting rooms.
Tip 3: Don’t Ignore the Ceilings
Ceiling-mounted acoustic boards are often the unsung heroes of office design. In open-plan offices where wall space may be limited, installing acoustic boards overhead can dramatically improve speech clarity and reduce ambient noise.
These can be suspended in creative patterns or installed as full-ceiling tiles to blend seamlessly with lighting and HVAC layouts. When paired with other acoustic materials, ceiling boards help create a layered sound absorption strategy that’s both aesthetic and functional.
Tip 4: Go Vertical with Acoustic Sheets
Sometimes, you need flexibility. That’s where acoustic sheets come into play. These are thin, adaptable acoustic materials that can be used as dividers, ceiling baffles, or even under carpets and furniture for stealthy sound dampening.
Acoustic sheets are particularly useful in temporary office setups or spaces that require frequent reconfiguration. You can roll them out, hang them from the ceiling, or even wrap them around columns for an instant noise control upgrade.
Tip 5: Combine Different Acoustic Materials
A single type of acoustic material is rarely enough. The best acoustic treatment plans use a combination of:
Acoustic panels for walls
Acoustic boards for ceilings
Acoustic sheets for flexible zones and furniture integration
By combining these elements, you ensure that sound is absorbed, diffused, and redirected in a way that supports all office functions. It’s all about layering—think of it as the acoustic equivalent of thermal insulation.
Tip 6: Choose the Right Materials
Not all acoustic materials are created equal. When selecting products, consider:
NRC Rating (Noise Reduction Coefficient): Higher NRC means better sound absorption.
Fire Resistance: Essential for meeting safety codes.
Sustainability: Look for eco-friendly or recycled acoustic materials.
Aesthetic Versatility: Pick textures and colors that blend with your interior palette.
Whether you’re working with PET felt, fiberglass, wood wool, or fabric-covered foam, the right acoustic material should marry performance with visual appeal.
Tip 7: Include Acoustic Treatment in the Design Phase
One of the biggest mistakes companies make is treating acoustic treatment as an afterthought. Retrofitting acoustic panels or acoustic boards after the office is complete is less efficient—and often more expensive.
Instead, collaborate with acoustic consultants, architects, and designers early in the planning process. This allows for better integration of acoustic materials with lighting, HVAC, and spatial planning, ensuring maximum effectiveness with minimal disruption.
Tip 8: Maintenance Matters
Like any other element in a corporate office, acoustic panels, acoustic sheets, and acoustic boards need maintenance. Dust, grime, and wear can reduce their effectiveness and visual appeal over time.
Regular vacuuming, spot cleaning, and occasional replacements (depending on the material) will keep your acoustic treatment solutions performing at their best. Choosing durable and easy-to-clean acoustic materials can make long-term care easier.
Final Thoughts
In today’s hybrid and flexible work environments, acoustic comfort is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. A well-executed acoustic treatment strategy doesn’t just reduce noise; it enhances collaboration, supports focus, and elevates the overall experience of the workspace.
From stylish acoustic panels to multipurpose acoustic sheets and versatile acoustic boards, businesses now have more tools than ever to design workplaces where form meets function—and silence meets style.
Make sound decisions now, and your employees will thank you later.
