Quiet Kids’ Study Rooms: Acoustic Curtains & Simple Soundproofing Hacks
Why Soundproofing Study Rooms Is Crucial for Kids
Children need quiet, distraction-free spaces to focus on homework, reading, and online learning. However, urban noise, TV sounds from other rooms, and general household activity can easily break concentration. A well-designed study room with basic soundproofing measures and acoustic curtains significantly improves focus, learning efficiency, and productivity.
Study Room Acoustic Solutions
Step 1: Start with Acoustic Curtains
Acoustic curtains are one of the quickest, most cost-effective ways to reduce outside noise.
Noise Blocking: Blocks up to 80% of external traffic sounds.
Multi-Layer Design: Heavy-duty 4500 GSM fabric with NRC 0.20 for effective sound dampening.
Light Control: Perfect for reducing glare during online learning sessions.
Colors & Sizes: Available in multiple shades to match study room décor.
Ideal Placement: Cover full window area (wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor) to eliminate sound leaks.
Step 2: Seal Gaps Around Doors and Windows
Even small gaps can leak significant noise. Sealing these areas is essential.
EPDM Door Tape: Fills gaps around the door frame. Easy self-adhesive installation.
Bottom Door Seal (Metal + Vinyl): Adds ~3 dB to door insulation, blocks hallway and living room noise.
Window Acoustic Seals: Flexible silicone seals for airtight closure around window frames.
Step 3: Use Sound-Absorbing Panels or Foam
Adding surface-level acoustic panels helps reduce internal echoes and creates a calm, focused environment.
Echsorbix® Felt Panels (NRC 0.90): Stylish, soft-textured finish in colors like Ash Grey or Olive. Doubles as a pinboard for study notes.
Acoustic Foam Panels (NRC 0.90): Shapes: Galaxy (concave), Pyramid, Curve. Ideal for smaller study rooms to absorb echo.
Placement: Cover 20–30% of wall area around desks or noisy walls.
Step 4: Wall Noise Reduction (Optional for Noisy Homes)
For homes facing heavy traffic or loud neighbors, upgrade walls using SoundBlanket® MLV.
Layer 1: SoundBlanket® MLV (4 mm, STC 32) – Dense barrier for traffic and TV noise.
Layer 2: BassBloc® (20 mm, NRC 0.85) – Reduces low-frequency vibrations.
Layer 3: Felt or foam panels for interior finish.
Case Study: Study Room in Pune Apartment
