Custom Perforated Acoustic Panels for Room Mockups: Achieving Realistic Sound Environments

Custom Perforated Acoustic Panels for Room Mockups: Achieving Realistic Sound Environments

In 2024, an architectural firm in New York was tasked with designing a new opera house. Before committing to final materials, they built an acoustic room mockup to simulate the main performance hall. Inspired by Daniel Morris’s London case (Read Daniel’s project here), they incorporated custom perforated acoustic panels to fine-tune airflow and sound transparency.

Why Custom Perforated Panels Improve Mockups

Custom perforated metal offers unique benefits for sound simulation:

• Precision Control: Adjusting perforation size changes airflow without distorting sound.

• Durability for Reuse: Panels can be reinstalled for multiple projects.

• Integration with Acoustic Treatments: Works alongside absorbers and diffusers.

Case Study: New York Opera House Mockup

Before using perforated panels, the team’s mockup had minor flutter echoes and uneven airflow. With stainless perforated ceiling and wall sections, airflow balance improved by 20%, and mid-frequency reflections were reduced, leading to more accurate predictions of audience listening experience.

Conclusion

The New York firm’s mockup results prove that custom perforated acoustic panels are essential for replicating real-world sound environments in architectural testing, ensuring that the final build matches the designer’s acoustic vision.
