Acoustics is the branch of physics that deals with theproduction, control, transmission, reception, and effects ofsound. Acoustical design is the planning, shaping, finishing,and furnishing of an enclosed space to establish an acousticenvironment necessary for the distinct hearing of speech ormusical sounds.

When you want to keep the sounds of conversationcontained within an office, a good place to start is with the use of absorbent materials, which will lower sound levelswithin the room.

The goal of choosing proper materials is to reduce the sound impact and the noise, and to create a comfortable environment and aesthetic interior space.

There are different types of acoustic materials:

1. Diffusors

2. Absorbers

3. Insulator

Interior designers are trained to focus on all these in addition to having knowledge about what is trending in the market and being able to solve acoustical problems.
